Located in the gated Waters Edge community on Lake James, this over-an-acre lot offers roughly 136 feet of private waterfront! A gentle slope to the water provides the perfect spot to create your own relaxing lakeside retreat. Launch your paddleboard or kayak, glide across the water, and take in breathtaking mountain sunsets. Residents enjoy community access to the beach-like waterfront area. The Fonta Flora Trail runs through the neighborhood, offering excellent opportunities for hiking and biking. With a quick commute to downtown Morganton, this lot strikes the perfect balance between privacy and convenience. Commute to Asheville (1 hour) and Charlotte Douglas International Airport (under 1.5 hours) with ease. Please note, this lot is not dockable. The lake is currently low for winter. Local marina and public boat ramp just minutes away!
