Property Description
Welcome to an extraordinary custom-built lakefront retreat on Lake James, where exceptional craftsmanship and the beauty of the lake and Blue Ridge Mountains come together on 2.64 private acres. Complete with a covered aluminum dock and boat lift, this 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath home, built in 2014, offers over 4,600 square feet across three thoughtfully designed levels. What sets this property apart is the rare combination of lakefront living, mountain views, and a home designed to feel deeply connected to both. Expansive windows frame the lake and layer upon layer of Pisgah ridgelines, with Mount Mitchell rising in the distance. The west-facing orientation delivers spectacular sunsets, while mornings are equally moving as early sunlight gently washes over the lake and mountains, slowly revealing the depth and beauty of the landscape. The main living area is anchored by a stone fireplace featuring a premium Fireplace Xtrordinair® wood-burning system, generous stone hearth, and rustic mantel—an architectural focal point that brings warmth, texture, and distinctive mountain character to the space. The well-appointed kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and a beautifully textured ceiling-to-countertop mosaic backsplash in soft, natural tones. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen flows naturally into the adjoining living and gathering spaces. Each of the four bedrooms enjoys a view of the lake or surrounding mountains, allowing all to wake to a landscape that continually changes with the light, weather, and seasons. Outdoor living is equally inviting with an expansive wraparound porch, outdoor fireplace, and fire pit overlooking the surrounding landscape. The floating covered dock provides easy access for swimming, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, and fishing. The finished walkout lower level provides additional space for gathering, recreation, and relaxation, with convenient access to the outdoors and the beauty of the surrounding property. Life here extends well beyond the home's walls. The lake becomes an extension of everyday living. Trails within the community invite hiking and time outdoors, and don’t forget the great amenities at Camp Lake James. Whether the day is spent exploring or simply resting in the stillness, this home offers something increasingly rare—a true sense of refuge, peace, and connection.
