Lake James Waterfront Lots
With over 150 miles of scenic shoreline, you can rest assured that your perfect mountain lakeside paradise awaits at Lake James. Lots in the Lake James region are found in established gated neighborhoods in addition to standalone properties outside of neighborhood settings. In addition, some lots have already been cleared for a home site and can include a dock, while others are still wooded.
Lake James neighborhoods that have available lots and land are incorporated in communities such as The Peninsula at Lake James, The Arbor at Lake James, Bear Cliff, and Black Forest. While the lake, itself, is an appealing feature of life around Lake James, many of these established communities also offer amenities such as pools, firepit gathering areas, boat slips, gated entrances, and other desirable features.
While short-term rentals are allowed in some of the Lake James communities, you will want to work with your GreyBeard agent to verify all HOA restrictions and community covenants and restrictions (CCRs).
