Property Description
Waterfront estate situated on its own private peninsula along the pristine shores of Lake James. Sweeping, unobstructed views of the lake and surrounding mountains greet you from the wrap-around porch where Golden Hour sunsets are nothing short of extraordinary. The property is designed for easy indoor-outdoor living and entertaining with thoughtfully designed water features including 3 waterfalls and a goldfish pond, a large green space ready for croquet or even a regulation size pickleball or badminton court, a brand-new dock, a fire-pit set on the point, and 450 feet of private shoreline.
A timeless Victorian home spans three levels rich in character. Inside, a dramatic foyer with soaring ceilings and a curved staircase makes a striking first impression, while the two-story circular library stands as a true architectural centerpiece. The main level is thoughtfully laid out for both everyday living and hosting, with generous living and dining spaces, a cozy den, and a kitchen complete with a wood-burning fireplace and easy access to the outdoor areas.
The primary suite features a private balcony and spa-inspired bath, while additional bedrooms, flexible living areas, and a finished lower level plumbed for a kitchen provide ample space for guests, friends, and family. A truly one-of-a-kind Lake James property that must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
Owner is financing available at 3.25% — a rare opportunity for a property this distinctive.
