Put together a modular house on Lake Gaston about 30 years ago. I live just outside of DC in Northern Virginia & Lake Gaston is on the Virginia-North Carolina border. My family including two daughters spent many weekends there skiing, tubing, fishing, swimming, & riding jet skis. Adult daughters still visit & grandson loves it there. Would like to move there & sell DC area house, but can't do so at the present. There is also good deer & some black bear hunting nearby. Love to sit on the large screened front porch & sip a Wild Turkey or bloody mary. If you can afford it definitely move to a lake. There are always homes for sale sometimes at good prices due to the economy. Family's split up & some times have to sell rapidly due to settlements.
