About this home

Perched on the shores of pristine Lake James, this premium lot delivers sweeping views of Hawksbill and Shortoff Mountains in the dramatic Linville Gorge, a level waterfront with a private beach, and a double-decker, double-slip dock complete with jet ski ports. Whether you’re launching a kayak at sunrise or watching the sunset from the upper deck, this property lives like a dream before a single board is nailed. The hard work is already done. A driveway and building site have been cleared, a shared well is on-site, and underground power lines keep the views uncluttered. With a 2,000 sq ft minimum build and architectural review in place, the entire neighborhood reflects the quality you’d expect — and protects the investment you’re making. Community amenities include an outdoor pool, boat storage, lake access, and a community dock. Short-term rentals are permitted, making this an exceptional opportunity. All you need to bring is your vision — and your sunscreen.
