About this home

Tucked inside the gated waterfront community of The Peninsula at Lake James, this 1.56-acre interior lot offers a gently sloping canvas ready for your dream home. Whether you're envisioning a full-time residence or a mountain retreat, short-term rentals are permitted — making this an equally compelling investment opportunity. The lot rolls softly with potential winter views of Shortoff and Hawksbill Mountains, and a community well is already in place. Residents enjoy an impressive amenity package: a waterfront pool with picnic area and bathrooms, a floating community day dock, and convenient boat storage — all within walking distance of the lake. Adventure is right outside your door. Black Bear Marina, Fonta Flora Brewery, and the Fonta Flora Trail for hiking and mountain biking are just minutes away. When you need a bit more, Marion is 18 minutes out, Morganton 20, Linville Falls 40, Asheville an hour, and Charlotte Douglas International just 90 minutes. This is your chance to plant roots in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains.
