Mill Spring is located in the northern part of Polk County adjacent to Lake Lure. The feel is rural with both horses and cows to be seen grazing on pasture with mountain backdrops.

The small towns of Tryon and Columbus are close by; Lake Lure is adjacent, north on highwway 9.

This is an area of farmland, horse farms, and homes on acreage tracts surrounded by mountainlands that include the World's Edge Naure Conservancy lands. Mill Spring is without argument, a very pretty place.

Local communities include the Lake Adger communities and the exclusive Bright's Creek Golf Community, home of the BMW PGA Tournament.

The commitment in Polk County, NC is to balance development with preserving the rural country feel of the area.
