Crystal Dickens- Realtor at Pointe Realty Group- Lake Gaston

They say it’s not all sunshine and rainbows… but Lake Gaston makes a pretty good argument. ☀️🌈🌊

The water. The views. The boathouses. The quiet mornings and the evenings that make you stay outside just a little longer.

After years of helping people buy and sell all around this lake, I still understand why people fall in love with it. Every part of Lake Gaston is a little different, and finding the right spot is about so much more than finding the right house.

If Lake Gaston has been on your mind, I’d love to help you find your place here. 💙

There’s still plenty of lake season left around here. And some of my favorite sunsets are still to come. 🌅

Lake Gaston sunsets will always have my heart. 🧡

Three closings in one week! 🏡🏡🏡

All three are success stories. All three sellers reached the goal we had been working toward. And I couldn’t be happier for them.

But there’s a part of real estate that’s hard to explain until you’ve experienced it.

You spend weeks or months talking, planning, solving problems, celebrating wins and working toward the same goal. You get to know people. You grow close.

And especially here at Lake Gaston, selling can come with a lot of emotions. Even when it’s absolutely the right decision, saying goodbye to a place that holds so many memories can still be bittersweet. I feel some of that right along with my sellers.

☀️ Watermans Drive
☀️ Dogwood Pointe
☀️ Dogwood Way, Lot 32

So this week, I’m celebrating three wonderful closings and three wonderful sellers I’m really going to miss working with. 💙

The house will come later. For now, they found the view. 💙🌅

Big main lake views, deep water, sunrise-to-sunset skies, and a beautiful piece of Lake Gaston to make their own.

There’s something special about walking a waterfront lot and realizing this is where the lake house, the dock, the mornings with coffee, and the sunsets with family will eventually be.

This one has officially found its people. 🩵

Thinking about building your own place at Lake Gaston? I’d love to help you find the right spot.

Pickleball at Lake Gaston?
Yep, we have a little bit of that too. 🏓

I get asked about more than houses around here. People want to know where to eat, where to boat, where to meet people… and lately, where to play pickleball!

Here are some Pickleball locations:

🏓 Warren County Parks & Recreation offers indoor pickleball at the John Graham Gym in Warrenton, with weekday morning play.

🏓 Lake Gaston Baptist Church also offers indoor pickleball on Saturday mornings.

🏓 And several Lake Gaston communities have private courts for residents, including Tanglewood Shores, Ferncliff and Roanoke Shores.

I even know the companies that install private pickleball courts!

That’s one of the things I love about Lake Gaston. Yes, the lake is what brings a lot of people here, but there’s a whole community that comes with it if you want to seek it out !

And after more than 20 years here, I’m always happy to tell you where to find just about anything. ❤️

A true RARE FIND on Lake Gaston…

2.70 acres, two waterfront lots, incredible southwest-facing sunsets, no HOA and room to dream.

There’s room for the lake toys, the chickens, the hobbies, the family and whatever else you’ve been wishing you had space for. And with that second waterfront lot, there are even more possibilities for the future.

The home itself was built with full-time living in mind, with real hardwood floors, solid wood doors, a detached two-car garage and plenty of storage.

And then there’s the water. Deep enough for today’s surf boats, plenty of shoreline space to play, and a firepit patio that may have my favorite sunset view on the whole property.

Private at the end of the road, but still less than 10 minutes by boat to a marina and waterfront dining.

This is one you need to see in person.

A lot of lake home buyers are making a long distance purchase. This is a big part of what I do. 📱

Many don’t live at Lake Gaston, and when the right property comes along, they can’t always drop everything and get here.

So I FaceTime. I take videos. I walk the property. I show you the shoreline, the neighborhood, the view from the dock, and all those little things you’d want to see if you were standing right here with me.

Because when you’re miles away, having someone here who knows what to look for makes all the difference. 💙
