A Great Lake Front Retirement Home in North Carolina

Lake Waccamaw is a natural lake with some species that don't exist anywhere else in the world. Its origin, along with the other smaller Carolina Bay lakes, has been a subject of much research and speculation. The theory that the lakes are fed by artisian springs makes a lot of sense to me, since this property boasts one of the few artisian wells on Lake Waccamaw. 

When the wind blows, it can turn up whitecaps and breakers. When it is still, it looks like glass. You can walk along a pier and see down to the bottom. It is shallow for a long way out, which tends to make it warm. This is good or bad, depending on your point-of-view. Kids love it. And it is a perfect place for sandcastles and fulfilling your dreams of a lakeside retirement home in North Carolina.

Swimming in Lake Waccamaw is also quite refreshing. If the wind isn't blowing, it's a little like taking a warm bath on a hot day. Just laying around on a float is also popular. It is a wonderful lake for boating, sailing, jet-skis, canoes, kayaks, speedboats, and pontoon boats.   It is not uncommon to see a flotilla of pontoon boats hooked together and grilling burgers on board, drinking beer, and playing water volleyball at the far end of the lake. At Christmas, a wet suited Santa on a jet-ski leads lighted boats around the lake.

Lake Waccamaw is most famous for the simple serenity of a village.  At the great retirement home on Bella Coola Road, there are rocking chairs on the patio and glass sun-room facing the lake that are perfect for reading and napping. You can just close your eyes and go to a peaceful place while listening to the waves lapping up on the shore.

If you are looking for a Retirement home in North Carolina, look no further because Lake Waccamaw can be a perfect vacation house or lake view home for you and your family.
