Discover the perfect opportunity to build your custom home in the desirable The Arbor at Lake James community in Nebo, NC. This beautiful 1-acre lot offers a peaceful setting surrounded by nature and includes a deeded boat slip, providing convenient access to Lake James for boating, fishing, and relaxing days on the water. The community recently implemented a special assessment to replace the boat slips following storm damage from Helene, and that assessment has already been paid in full by the seller—an added benefit and peace of mind for the buyer. Arbor at Lake James is known for its thoughtfully planned layout, scenic surroundings, and easy access to the lake while still being close to Marion, hiking trails, and all the outdoor recreation Western North Carolina is known for. Whether you’re envisioning a primary residence or a mountain getaway, this lot offers an exceptional combination of space, lake access, and value in one of Lake James’ most desirable communities.
