Discover one of the most versatile and stunning properties in the exclusive, gated Black Forest community on Lake James. This expansive 5.2-acre waterfront lot offers a rare combination of features: a level, easily buildable homesite, a gentle walk to the shoreline, and sweeping long-range main channel and mountain views. With an 8-bedroom septic permit already in place and approval for multiple dwellings, the possibilities are endless—whether you envision a sprawling estate, guest cottages, or a private family retreat.
Enjoy the privacy and natural beauty that make Black Forest one of Lake James’ most desirable communities. Owners benefit from a full time caretaker, community trails, a river camp, and a Lake Camp with a pavilion, offering both seclusion and convenient access to the water. Rarely does a property combine acreage, level terrain, multi-dwelling potential, and big water views like this. Build the legacy lake property you’ve always imagined on Lot 28.
