About this home

Why buy a vacant lot and wait years to enjoy Lake James? At 159 Osprey Roost Drive, you can have both. This 1.25-acre waterfront homesite offers the opportunity to build your dream Lake James home in the future while enjoying the property immediately from an existing lake retreat already in place. With a 5-bedroom septic system installed, a deeded boat slip, waterfront setting, and Camp Lake James amenities, much of the heavy lifting has already been done. Simply bring your builder, your plans, and your vision. Enjoy beautiful waterfront surroundings, a deeded boat slip just a short walk away, professionally designed landscaping, and valuable infrastructure already established on the property. The existing retreat features comfortable living space, screened porches, and is being offered fully furnished, allowing you to start making Lake James memories from day one while designing the home you've always envisioned. Privacy is enhanced by the adjacent 4-acre Old Wildlife Club-owned parcel, creating a natural buffer rarely found on waterfront homesites. Ownership also includes access to Camp Lake James amenities, including a swimming pool, fitness center, pickleball courts, paddling access, gathering spaces, and dining opportunities. Whether you're searching for a build-ready waterfront homesite, a private lake getaway, or a property that allows you to enjoy the lake now while planning for the future, 159 Osprey Roost Drive offers a combination of flexibility, infrastructure, privacy, and waterfront lifestyle that is exceptionally difficult to find on Lake James. *Also listed as residential ---see MLS# 4380380***
