Nestled in The Arbor at Lake James, Lot 188 presents the perfect opportunity to build your dream waterfront home. This lot is fully prepped and ready for construction—a major plus with shoreline stabilization already completed, electricity available with power at the dock, a gravel road, and a parking pad in place.
Located in a peaceful no-wake zone with a scenic wooded view across the lake, the property provides a serene setting for your future home. A beautifully maintained covered dock conveys with the sale, featuring a storage closet with keyless entry and a ladder—everything you need to enjoy the water from day one. The lot has also previously perked for a 3-bedroom home.
The Arbor at Lake James offers gated security, well-maintained roads, a community pavilion, and a boat storage area. Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Marion and only a few miles from I-40, this property combines privacy, accessibility, and the beauty of lakefront living.
