Lake Royale, Louisburg, NC

A Private Gated Community in the Heartland Of North Carolina

Here is a description of this wonderful resort community:

HISTORY: Lake Royale was formerly part of the Seven Paths farming
community. In 1970, members of the American Realty Corporation started to
purchase land. The land along the banks of Cypress Creek was cleared, a
dam constructed, and thus the beginning of Lake Sagamore. In 1972,
American Realty built the lodge and started selling lots on the west side. In
1977, Lake Sagamore was purchased by the National American Corporation
(NACO) and the name was changed to Lake Royale. The back nine holes of
the golf course were opened for play in 1987, while the front nine were
completed in the spring of 1990. Growing rapidly, the Property Owners
Association (POA) built their administration building at the entrance to the
lake shortly thereafter.

RECREATION: Lake Royale offers a year round recreation program, such as
dances, dinners, sports, children's activities and socials. Located on the
waterfront, the lodge serves the community as a recreation center, complete
with a fully equipped exercise gym, beach, and dock and picnic area. The
pavilion (on the east side of the lake) has another beach, a sheltered picnic
area, a miniature golf course, rest rooms, and a boat ramp. Other amenities
include two swimming pools, tennis and basketball courts, boating, water
skiing, horseshoe pits, shuffle board and a full 18 hole golf course with
property owner privileges.

FACTS: The Lake is man-made. Approximately 272 feet above sea level, it
consists of 345 acres, with a length of 3.25 miles and a maximum lake depth
(located opposite the clubhouse) of forty feet. The shoreline is eleven miles
long and with a distance around the lake on Sagamore Drive of 13.5 miles.
There are over 60 miles of roads, with a 1200 foot dam, and a 288 foot
concrete spillway. The overall property of Lake Royale is 3500 acres which
completely surrounds the basin, being fed by Cypress Creek and numerous
springs. Presently, there are over 600 permanent residents scattered over
more than 6000 residential, camping and golf course lots. It is not a
retirement community, although ten percent of the current population who
are retired, will tell you it is an excellent choice.

A residence cannot be built on a camping lot, nor can a camper be put on a
residential lot. The by-laws and covenants can be obtained at the POA office,
where a full-time manager and office personnel are on staff. The lake is
governed by  board of trustees, elected by the property owners. A building
committee, finance committee, and board of adjustments are among the
many support groups which enlist the help of the POA members.

To many, one of the most appealing features is the Lake Royale police force
with 24-hour gate security. In addition, there is a maintenance crew and
janitorial crew (for the clubhouse, comfort stations, etc.). The annual
association dues are presently $454.21

LOCATION: 28 miles northeast of Raleigh, NC, located in the area known as
