Welcome to an extraordinary custom-built lakefront retreat on Lake James, where exceptional craftsmanship and the beauty of the lake and Blue Ridge Mountains come together on 2.64 private acres. Complete with a covered aluminum dock and boat lift, this 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home, built in 2014, offers over 4,600 square feet across three thoughtfully designed levels. What sets this property apart is the rare combination of lakefront living, mountain views, and a home designed to feel deeply connected to both. Expansive windows frame the lake and layer upon layer of Pisgah ridgelines, with Mount Mitchell rising in the distance. The west-facing orientation delivers spectacular sunsets, while mornings are equally moving as early sunlight gently washes over the lake and mountains, slowly revealing the depth and beauty of the landscape. The main living area is anchored by a stone fireplace featuring a premium Fireplace Xtrordinair® wood-burning system, generous stone hearth, and rustic mantel—an architectural focal point that brings warmth, texture, and distinctive mountain character to the space. The well-appointed kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and a beautifully textured ceiling-to-countertop mosaic backsplash in soft, natural tones. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen flows naturally into the adjoining living and gathering spaces. Each of the four bedrooms enjoys a view of the lake or surrounding mountains, allowing all to wake to a landscape that continually changes with the light, weather, and seasons. Outdoor living is equally inviting with an expansive wraparound porch, outdoor fireplace, and fire pit overlooking the surrounding landscape. The floating covered dock provides easy access for swimming, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing. The finished walkout lower level provides additional space for gathering, recreation, and relaxation, with convenient access to the outdoors and the beauty of the surrounding property. Life here extends well beyond the home's walls. The lake becomes an extension of everyday living. Trails within the community invite hiking and time outdoors, and don’t forget the great amenities at Camp Lake James. Whether the day is spent exploring or simply resting in the stillness, this home offers something increasingly rare—a true sense of refuge, peace, and connection.

This lot offers direct waterfront access and is considered dockable, providing the potential for convenient boating, fishing, kayaking, and paddleboarding right from your property.

The walk to the shoreline is steep, but the reward is direct access to one of North Carolina’s most beautiful lakes and the opportunity to enjoy everything Lake James has to offer. Waterfront opportunities at this price point are exceptionally rare on Lake James. Over the past 12 months, only four dockable waterfront lots have sold for less than $325,000.

Please note that no septic permit has been issued for this lot. Buyers are encouraged to complete their own due diligence regarding septic evaluation, pier permitting, and building plans. Opportunities to find a waterfront homesite with long range views, a level building area, generous shoreline frontage, and dock potential in The Peninsula are increasingly rare. Whether you envision a luxury lakefront estate, a weekend getaway, or a legacy property to enjoy for generations, this homesite offers the location, views, and potential to create something truly special on Lake James.

When you sit in the shaded area, they can't see you as well. There was a garden behind the garage for a few years and they still stop by, checking if we planted.

Spend nighttime at the fire pit or sit on the swings and enjoy nature sounds and the watch the stars. The streetlight in the parking area from Duke Power was removed for this reason. When you’re done, just tell Alexa to light the yard. A large 7000-lumen LED behind the garage lights up most of the yard. Walking the dog at night isn’t stressful when you can see. If you’re into fishing, it's only one mile from the Muddy Creek canoe or paddle boat access. Into boating or looking for larger fish, just 3 miles from Lake James Access.
