Above Lake James in Bear Cliff, 207 Lake Crest Drive was built in 2022 around a single idea: live on one level with the view in front of you. The main house holds 2,180 heated square feet — three bedrooms, two baths, and a great room under a vaulted ceiling with a stone wood-burning fireplace and French doors to a covered porch that looks across the water to the mountains, in every season. The kitchen runs on hickory cabinetry, granite counters, a gas range under a wood hood, an island that seats four, and a butler's pantry behind a barn door. The primary suite has its own view, a soaking tub, a walk-in tile shower, and a double vanity. Laundry and mud room are on the main level, as is everything else. Evenings end on the porch, watching the sunset over the lake. Beside the detached garage, a 324-square-foot guest suite with full bath, kitchenette, sitting area, and private entrance gives visitors, work, or a studio a place of its own. Four garage bays hold the boat, the truck, and the workshop. Whole-house generator, tankless hot water, underground utilities, well and septic, and a concrete drive on 1.44 quiet acres along a paved private road. Bear Cliff is a lake-access community with a beach on Lake James; the state park, the marina, and its waterfront dining are minutes away, Asheville is about an hour, and Charlotte is under two. The adjoining 1.48-acre lot is also available. For the buyer who has priced a build at the lake, this is the finished version — and it is ready now.
