Rare 11.45 Acres on Lake James – Private Cove & Development Potential!
Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity to own 11.45 acres in a quiet cove on Lake James with only two other docks nearby. Located in McDowell County with no zoning restrictions and no minimum square footage to build, this wooded property offers development flexibility and natural privacy.
