Expansive Lake James views framed by the Blue Ridge Mountains create an extraordinary setting at 1195 Old Wildlife Club Drive. Set on more than two acres in prestigious Old Wildlife Club, this proposed offering combines an existing carriage home with a to-be-built Beech III Rustic residence by MossCreek, connected by a breezeway and constructed by Higgins Building Group. The proposed exterior blends board-and-batten siding, stone accents, timber detailing, and metal roof accents into a cohesive mountain retreat. A welcoming covered front porch and the breezeway connection bring the two buildings together with warmth and character. MossCreek’s distinctive rustic American designs balance architectural presence with comfortable, practical living. The proposed 1,904-square-foot main home features three bedrooms, two full baths, a half bath, and an open kitchen and dining area flowing into a soaring great room. A main-level primary suite offers everyday convenience, while two upstairs bedrooms and a spacious loft overlooking the great room provide room for guests and gathering. Covered porches extend the living experience outdoors. Higgins Building Group brings extensive custom luxury home experience at Lake James and throughout Western North Carolina. Its focus on craftsmanship, quality materials, thoughtful detailing, and personal collaboration makes it an exceptional partner for bringing this MossCreek design to life in such a remarkable setting. The existing carriage home already offers comfortable living with vaulted ceilings, a dramatic wall of windows framing lake and mountain views, and a generous kitchen with built-ins and granite countertops. Below, an oversized two-bay garage includes an extra-long bay ideal for a boat, lake gear, workshop, or storage. Once connected to the proposed residence, the carriage home would provide welcoming space for guests with the benefit of added privacy. An included year-round boat slip, just a short UTV ride away, makes time on Lake James easy. Old Wildlife Club’s wooded surroundings, spacious homesites, and community trails offer a peaceful retreat, while included Camp Lake James membership adds pools, tennis and pickleball, paddling, lakeside gathering spaces, and the Canteen to an exceptional lake lifestyle.
