New Price! Set on 3.71 private acres in the gated Waters Edge community, this rare Lake James homesite offers a large, level waterfront on one of the lake's quietest coves — calm, clear, wake-free water perfect for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding for miles right from your own backyard, with the cove opening up quickly into the main body of the lake. Tucked into an environmentally protected, no-wake, no-thru-traffic cove, the setting feels private and undisturbed, with no boats passing by. This is a non-dockable lot, and the cove is shallow and recedes with the seasonal winter drawdown — in summer, though, there's room to tie up a small boat or jet skis right at the shoreline, making this an ideal fit for a low-key, hands-in-the-water lake life. The wooded, gently sloping site is ready to build on or enjoy as-is: driveway, parking, and boat trailer storage already in place, soil test on record for septic, and the Fonta Flora State Trail easement running directly along the back edge of the property. Underground power, high-speed internet, and city water are available. Short-term rentals are allowed. Adjacent to 47.99 acres of protected green space, this lot feels more like a private nature preserve than a typical lakefront homesite. The community beach, a nearby marina and a public boat launch keep the full lake experience within easy reach for anyone wanting to get out on the water. Morganton is 15 minutes away; Asheville under an hour. Seclusion, acreage, and a front-row seat to Lake James — all in one place. NC Agent Owned.
