&amp;nbsp;
&lt;p&gt;A great way to do all of the above, and a perk of being a private community, is to cruise the community by golf cart or other non-standard vehicle. Residents have enjoyed this benefit for years and countless hours entertainment.&amp;nbsp; Enjoy a gorgeous afternoon with the unlimited benefits of this unique community perk:&lt;/p&gt;

    &lt;li&gt;Go play volleyball, basketball or tennis&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Take the kids to the playground&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Visit your neighbors&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Save on gas and wear and tear on your car&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;li&gt;Entertain the kids with exciting waterfront tours&lt;/li&gt;

Our objective with this blog is to provide potential community members, vacationers, and those interested in visiting Bay Tree Lakes with information on available waterfront property, recreational opportunities, local events, photos, news, and entertainment that Bay Tree Lakes has to offer visitors and the local community.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our unique lakefront community has private access to more than 2.2 square miles of water in 1,418-acre Bay Tree Lake, 310-acre Horsepen Lake and the more than 4 miles of interconnecting waterways.  Bay Tree Lakes combines the amenities and exclusivity of a gated community with this rare water recreation opportunity for the Coastal Piedmont area of North Carolina.  Our waterfront property is the only community able to offer such a level of quiet and undisturbed enjoyment of a large body of water in the Coastal Piedmont area of North Carolina.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The demographics at Bay Tree Lakes range from young families to retirees and do so because the community has an atmosphere and design to suit all ages. Established in 1972, Bay Tree Lakes has been thoughtfully cultivated by developers who care about the community, environment, and historical value that the Carolina Bay Lakes area contributes to the great state of North Carolina.  Join the community’s 160 families, consisting of a mixture of part-time and full-time residents, by looking at our real estate properties ranging from the $40’s to $290’s – waiting to become your perfect resident or vacation home.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We are excited to provide such a one-of-a-kind lakefront experience, incapable of being replicated anywhere else in the state of North Carolina, and would like to provide you with the information needed to get excited about joining our community.&lt;/p&gt;

If you haven&amp;rsquo;t, you may now!
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Born in Bay Tree Lakes, Smith and her brother spent their youngest years water-skiing at their parent&amp;rsquo;s facility, Smith Ski Plantation, located between Harrells Lake and White Lake. Smith was a Champion water-skier but also had a passion for acting and theatre.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Her passion&amp;nbsp;led Smith to spend the past few years acting and recently leading her to serve as executive producer on "&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0978800/"&gt;La Cucina&lt;/a&gt;". Smith however, still spends her summers skiing with her parents at Bay Tree Lakes.&lt;/p&gt;
