About this home
Perched at the highest point of this remarkable Lake James peninsula, Lot 2 offers what may be the finest view of all three homesites. Spanning approximately 1.789 acres, this exceptional waterfront property captures breathtaking long range views of the main channel, surrounding mountains, and year round water vistas in one of the most scenic settings on Lake James. Located just beyond Bear Creek Marina, this private homesite is part of an exclusive three lot peninsula that extends into the lake, creating a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. The likely spot for the home is has gently sloping terrain which provides an ideal building site with flexibility for designing a custom lake retreat that maximizes the spectacular elevated views. From sunrise over the mountains to the shimmering waters below to a sunset over the mountains to the west, just about every angle of this property showcases the beauty that makes Lake James so special. Unlike the neighboring lot with an existing dock, Lot 2 offers the opportunity for a new owner to apply with Duke Energy for a private dock, allowing you to create a waterfront experience tailored to your vision. Whether you are seeking a full time residence, a mountain lake getaway, or a legacy property to enjoy for generations, Lot 2 provides a rare opportunity to own one of the premier view lots on Lake James. Large waterfront parcels with this combination of elevation, privacy, buildability, and panoramic scenery are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Come walk the property, take in the incredible perspective from the homesite, and discover why Lot 2 stands out as the crown jewel of this unique peninsula offering on Lake James.
