Description

Waterfront estate situated on its own private peninsula along the pristine shores of Lake James. Sweeping, unobstructed views of the lake and surrounding mountains greet you from the wrap-around porch where Golden Hour sunsets are nothing short of extraordinary. The property is designed for easy indoor-outdoor living and entertaining with thoughtfully designed water features, a large green space (did someone say badminton?), a brand-new dock, a fire-pit set on the point, and 450 feet of private shoreline.

A timeless Victorian home spans three levels rich in character. Inside, a dramatic foyer with soaring ceilings and a curved staircase makes a striking first impression, while the two-story circular library stands as a true architectural centerpiece. The main level is thoughtfully laid out for both everyday living and hosting, with generous living and dining spaces, a cozy den, and kitchen complete with a wood-burning fireplace and easy access to the outdoor areas.

The primary suite features a private balcony and spa-inspired bath, while additional bedrooms, flexible living areas, and a finished lower level provide ample space for guests, friends, and family. A truly one-of-a-kind Lake James property that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.

Owner financing available at 3.25% — a rare opportunity for a property this distinctive.
