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.

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.

Additional features include abundant storage, an encapsulated crawlspace with dehumidifier, and a Generac generator for peace of mind during the occasional Western NC storm. Situated on almost 9 acres, the property provides privacy, additional potential building sites, and 100% control of your views. A large level yard offers room to garden or play, and the paved-road access makes coming and going easy. Are you concerned about multiple annual dues because you would have 8 lots? No worries. Since the lots are contiguous (per POA), there is only one set of annual dues which is $1407 annually. Located within the gated community of Gateway Mountain, you’re just a short distance from Lake George—ideal for swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking—and from the mile-plus hiking trail to Waterfall Park for more outdoor adventure.

Old Fort is a historic railroad town entering an exciting new chapter—now known for some of Western North Carolina’s best mountain biking and hiking. The growing outdoor recreation scene has helped bring in fantastic local businesses such as Hillman Beer, The Modern Alchemist, Old Fort Bike Shop, Go-Go's and more. (if you do not know what Go-Go's is, I encourage you to find out). The area is also home to a vibrant mountain arts community, where you’ll find galleries and studios featuring some of the most beautiful and uniquely crafted pieces you’ll see anywhere. Please note: The septic permit is for a 2-bedroom home, but the main floor includes a versatile bonus room perfect for guests, an office, library, art studio, and more.
