Gateway Mountain was established in 1982. It is a gated Community of Nature Lovers with 3,000 acres of natural mountain forest , a small lake for swimming and water sports, and our own Waterfall Park. The 80 full time residents do not mind the 6 mile trip to the town of Old Fort, the 15 miles to Black Mountain , the 35 miles to Asheville or the 15 miles to Lake Lure because they love living in the wild mountain full of animals, wildflowers, birds and trees. Buy this conveniently located 2.69 lot near Lake George and build your retirement home, second home or rental home when you are ready to relax in our gorgeous mountain. This community has lots of character, opportunities to volunteer and socialize with special people-those who love to go hiking and bird watching. The brand new Hillman Brewery in our small town of Old Fort is open daily for you to enjoy one of their 22 hand crafted beers and eat great food for lunch or dinner with family and friends. Come take a tour of Gateway.
