Where the mountains meet the water, this breathtaking lakefront retreat on the shores of Lake James delivers a lifestyle most only dream about. Rare lakefront opportunity on stunning Lake James — one of Western North Carolina's most prized mountain lakes. This exceptional 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath home offers 2,270 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space on 1.84 private acres, delivering resort-style living with a brand-new infinity-edge swimming pool that spills visually into breathtaking, unobstructed lake views. Whether entertaining or unwinding, the seamless indoor-outdoor flow and panoramic Blue Ridge Mountain backdrop create an atmosphere of unmatched tranquility and luxury.
The Fonta Flora State Trail runs directly through the backyard, providing immediate trail access for hiking and biking along one of NC's most celebrated multi-use trail systems — with plans to ultimately connect Morganton to Asheville. Step off your property and onto miles of scenic trails without ever getting in your car.
Lake James offers over 6,500 surface acres and 150+ miles of shoreline for boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, and world-class fishing including largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleye, muskie, and crappie. Lake James State Park, Whippoorwill Farm at Fonta Flora Brewery, Linville Gorge Wilderness Area, Grandfather Mountain, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and downtown Morganton's dining and shopping scene are all just minutes away. Asheville and the Biltmore Estate are an easy 45-minute drive.
Properties combining 1.84 acres of direct lakefront, a new infinity pool, and trail-to-backyard connectivity at Lake James are extraordinarily rare. This is Western NC lakefront living at its absolute finest.
