About this home

Nearly 6 lightly restricted acres with level creek frontage, this remarkable property is one of the most beautiful natural settings you’ll find near Lake James. Located approximately 1,000 feet from where the creek feeds into the lake, the land offers a rare combination of privacy, natural water sources, and beautiful sloping terrain. A private road runs through the center of the property with underground power available, making it easy to begin planning your build. Ideal spots for a cabin retreat, or year round residence. The setting is quiet, wild, and serene, yet you’re still only minutes from town. For those seeking more space or investment potential, the adjoining 6 acre tract is also available, featuring underground power already installed and a previously approved 3 bedroom septic test. Opportunities like this, a wild spot with creekfront, near Lake James and ready for your vision, are incredibly rare. Call today to tour this one of a kind property.
