About this home
Refined Lakefront Living on Lake James – Waters Edge, Morganton, NC
Welcome to a rare offering where luxury meets the effortless beauty of lakefront living. Set along 251 feet of pristine, walkable shoreline, this exceptional Timberblock home captures what so few properties on Lake James can—a true connection to the water. Here, gentle terrain leads you to your own private beach, fire pit, and covered dock with boat lift, creating a setting that feels more like a private retreat than a residence.
Designed for those who truly appreciate time on the water, the property is equipped with a touch-less boat cover system—providing effortless protection for your boat without the hassle of traditional covers—along with installed shoreline protection to preserve the integrity of this exceptional waterfront.
Thoughtfully constructed using Timberblock’s advanced panelized building system, the home blends timeless craftsmanship with modern performance. Its high-efficiency insulated envelope provides year-round comfort, while the superior wall basement system and full-house generator offer lasting quality and peace of mind.
Inside, clean modern finishes complement the warmth of the log-style design, while a fully finished basement offers refined additional living space for hosting family and guests. Outdoors, the experience continues with covered seating areas, curated low-maintenance landscaping, and softly lighted pathways that guide you from the home to the water’s edge, creating an inviting atmosphere both day and night.
Select furnishings, including premium outdoor furnishings curated for lakefront living, are negotiable with an acceptable offer. Thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertaining, the property offers an effortless transition into summer on Lake James or the opportunity to create an exceptional luxury vacation rental experience.
Beyond its beauty, this property offers exceptional versatility. With short-term rentals permitted, it presents a rare opportunity to own a luxury retreat that can also serve as a highly desirable vacation investment, appealing to those seeking an elevated Lake James experience.
Located within the gated Waters Edge community, residents enjoy low HOA fees, a community beach, and direct access to the Fonta Flora State Trail. Just minutes away, you’ll find Perry’s Berrys Vineyard & Winery and Fonta Flora Brewery Whippoorwill Farm, with the natural beauty of Linville Gorge nearby, and the culture of Asheville and Biltmore Estate within easy reach. Downtown Morganton is just 15 minutes away.
With its uncommon combination of expansive usable waterfront, elevated construction quality, and thoughtfully designed outdoor living, this home represents a truly distinguished opportunity on Lake James.
A place to gather. A place to retreat. A place to live exceptionally....
