    Welcome to 2250 Mallard Cove Drive, an exceptional WATERFRONT James property offering a combination that is increasingly difficult to find. Situated on a gentle-graded 0.75-acre lot in a wide deep-water cove w/ roughly 360 feet of shoreline, this beautifully maintained home delivers the waterfront lifestyle buyers dream about. Known as one of the nation’s cleanest lakes, Lake James is a true mecca for the outdoor enthusiast, offering clear water, sandy beaches, breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountain views, boating, fishing, swimming, and endless opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. The property itself is designed for effortless lake living. A private watercraft ramp beside your own impressive double-decker dock w/ 2 covered lower boat slips, a storage closet, and a mechanical boat lift in one slip. A picturesque waterfront gazebo creates the perfect spot to relax, entertain, or take in the beauty of the lake. The gentle, short slope from the home to the water makes access exceptionally convenient. The home is an easily maintained ranch-style residence with a full basement, offering an ideal layout for both everyday living and entertaining. The main level welcomes you into an open-concept kitchen, living, and dining area highlighted by a beautiful shiplap vaulted ceiling and fireplace. From virtually every rear window, enjoy captivating lake views. The spacious primary suite features multiple closets, open-water views, and direct access to the covered outdoor deck. A second bedroom and updated full bath are also located on the main level. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring a large island, granite countertops, and stainless-steel appliances. Downstairs, the thoughtful floor plan provides an exceptional space for family and guests to spread out. An additional bedroom and a 4th room currently used as a bedroom/flex space offer versatility. Each downstairs bedroom has its own full bath, while a separate family room in front of the bedrooms creates comfortable private living space for guests or extended family. The septic system is permitted for three bedrooms; the fourth room has historically been used as a bedroom. The outdoor living spaces are truly exceptional. Along with the waterfront gazebo and outstanding dock, the rear of the home features full-length upper and lower composite decks. The upper deck includes a screened-in area for comfortable year-round enjoyment, plus a large uncovered section perfect for soaking up the sunshine and taking in the lake views. Adding even more appeal, this is one of the few Lake James properties with short-term rental potential, making it an excellent option for those seeking a personal lake retreat, investment opportunity, or both. The property has no city taxes, very low HOA dues, and safe swimming directly off the dock. And perhaps best of all, this home is being offered 100% FURNISHED. Simply bring your suitcase and start enjoying Lake James. Turnkey. Deep water. ROUGHLY 360 feet of shoreline. Private ramp. Exceptional LARGE dock. Gentle waterfront access. Incredible outdoor living. Short-term rental potential. And all the beauty of Lake James right outside your door. Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare.
