Twelve Mile Post Homes for Sale in Lake Lure, SC

Community Overview

Twelve Mile Post is a gated Broad River community where the arrival sets the tone: listings repeatedly describe crossing a red covered bridge before the roads climb into wooded, multi-acre homesites and mountain-view ridges. In Lake Lure, it stands apart for combining buildable estate lots with custom houses, so the neighborhood feels as much about land and setting as it does about finished homes.

Community Highlights

Lot sizes start at about 1 acre and extend to nearly 80 acres, with a typical parcel around 5 acres, which explains why privacy and acreage are the neighborhood's defining themes. Current availability is land-oriented, while residential sales have ranged from the high $200,000s into the seven figures. The highest closings concentrate on either Broad River frontage or substantially larger acreage: closed homes with 8 or more acres averaged just over $808,000, and closed waterfront homes averaged about $847,000.

The housing stock is largely mountain-rustic in character, with build dates running from the late 1980s into the early 2020s and a heavy concentration in the early 2000s. Log homes, custom construction, stone fireplaces, open floor plans, vaulted great rooms, covered porches, and view-facing decks appear again and again. Basements and garages are common in the residential inventory, and several upper-end properties add main-level living, guest space, workshops, or four-car garage capacity.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Twelve Mile Post is defined less by a clubhouse amenity package than by the land itself. The recurring infrastructure notes are practical ones: gated entry, paved roads, and underground power. Select properties carry Broad River frontage, and riverfront estates and homesites are part of the neighborhood's identity even though the community is not built around a marina or resort amenity set.

Large parcels shape the way the neighborhood lives. Mountain views, mature trees, ridge-top homesites, and sunset outlooks are routine parts of the setting, and several listings describe enough acreage for private trails, pasture, or simply a wider wooded buffer around the house.

Location & Schools

The community sits along the Broad River corridor between Lake Lure and Rutherfordton, about 15 minutes from Lake Lure, 23 minutes from Chimney Rock Village, 25 minutes from Rutherfordton, and roughly 65 minutes from Asheville Regional Airport. Lake Lure Classical Academy is the school most commonly associated with the neighborhood for elementary, middle, and high school grades. The result is a gated mountain address where acreage, scenery, and separation are the main luxuries.
