Set in a highly desirable location just across the street from the Marion Lake Club golf course, this inviting property offers the perfect blend of comfort, character, and everyday convenience in the heart of Lake James living. Positioned on a 0.70 acre lot with a mix of open yard and wooded surroundings, the setting feels both private and connected, enhanced by beautiful views of iconic Shortoff Mountain and Dobson’s Knob rising in the distance. Inside, the home showcases a distinctive retro charm reminiscent of classic mid century design, with a warm and inviting feel that stands apart from today’s more typical builds. Rich wood tones, unique architectural lines, and an abundance of natural light create a space that feels both nostalgic and full of personality. One of the standout features throughout the home is the extensive use of beautiful stonework, anchoring multiple living areas with timeless texture and character. From the striking fireplaces to interior accents, these details add depth and a level of craftsmanship that is increasingly rare. The main and upper levels offer an easy flow between the living room, dining area, and kitchen, creating comfortable spaces for gathering and everyday living. With four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, the home provides plenty of room for family and guests. The primary suite offers a quiet retreat, while additional bedrooms and flexible spaces allow for a home office, creative studio, or overflow accommodations. A well designed laundry area and generous storage further enhance functionality. The lower level expands the living space with a partially finished basement featuring a large den, additional bedroom, and full bath, ideal for guests, recreation, or multi generational living. With walk out access, this level connects seamlessly to the outdoors and offers even more versatility. Outdoor living is just as appealing, with covered and open deck spaces that invite you to relax, dine, or entertain while taking in the layered mountain views. Whether enjoying your morning coffee with Shortoff Mountain in the distance or winding down in the evening as the light fades over Dobson’s Knob, these outdoor areas provide a truly special vantage point. Adding to its appeal, the home sits directly across from the Marion Lake Club, a semi private golf course, offering convenient access for golf enthusiasts and a scenic, open backdrop that enhances the overall setting. A dedicated utility space perfect for a golf cart makes it easy to take full advantage of the course, creating an ideal setup for buyers seeking both golf and lake life. Located just 1.7 miles from a public boat ramp and only 0.8 miles from Lake James State Park, this property offers quick and easy access to some of the area’s best outdoor recreation, from boating and fishing to hiking and biking. Combined with nearby marinas and the charming downtowns of Marion and Morganton, this location delivers an exceptional balance of convenience and lifestyle.

Above Lake James in Bear Cliff, 207 Lake Crest Drive was built in 2022 around a single idea: live on one level with the view in front of you. The main house holds 2,180 heated square feet — three bedrooms, two baths, and a great room under a vaulted ceiling with a stone wood-burning fireplace and French doors to a covered porch that looks across the water to the mountains, in every season. The kitchen runs on hickory cabinetry, granite counters, a gas range under a wood hood, an island that seats four, and a butler's pantry behind a barn door. The primary suite has its own view, a soaking tub, a walk-in tile shower, and a double vanity. Laundry and mud room are on the main level, as is everything else. Evenings end on the porch, watching the sunset over the lake. Beside the detached garage, a 324-square-foot guest suite with full bath, kitchenette, sitting area, and private entrance gives visitors, work, or a studio a place of its own. Four garage bays hold the boat, the truck, and the workshop. Whole-house generator, tankless hot water, underground utilities, well and septic, and a concrete drive on 1.44 quiet acres along a paved private road. Bear Cliff is a lake-access community with a beach on Lake James; the state park, the marina, and its waterfront dining are minutes away, Asheville is about an hour, and Charlotte is under two. The adjoining 1.48-acre lot is also available. For the buyer who has priced a build at the lake, this is the finished version — and it is ready now.

Private Mountaintop Estate | 5 Bedrooms | ±11.39 Acres | Solar Uninterrupted views of Marion from one of the highest homesites in the area. High above downtown, this two-story estate sits on approximately 11.39 acres of mountaintop land, reached by a paved private drive. The setting is quiet and private by elevation itself. The property borders Mount Ida Wilderness Park — 36 acres of city preserve with a one-mile trail to overlooks of Short Off Mountain and the town below. Downtown Marion is about three-tenths of a mile away. You live above it. You easily go down to it. Solar panels crown the home — a quieter kind of luxury: lower operating cost, a lighter footprint, and the comfort of generating power on your own roof while the views do the rest. The main level is built for living well. A fully appointed kitchen with breakfast nook. Formal dining. A great room wrapped in glass, fireplace at the center, views running front to back. The primary suite is its own retreat: fireplace, private bath with jetted tub, and a screened covered deck. The great room opens to a broad entertaining deck above Marion. Upstairs: four bedrooms and two full baths. One suite is large enough to serve as a second primary, with its own bath, walk-in closet, and a private balcony. This is a rare combination in McDowell County — acreage, long views, trail access, solar, and Main Street close enough for dinner, the Peavine, and the farmers market. A private mountaintop estate that still belongs to town. If you want room, elevation, and a home that works as beautifully as it looks, this property deserves a private showing.
