Perched on the shores of pristine Lake James, this premium lot offers sweeping views of Hawksbill and Shortoff Mountains in the Linville Gorge, level waterfront with a private beach, and a double-decker, double-slip dock with jet ski ports — already built and permitted. That's a major advantage: as of July 1, 2026, Duke Energy no longer approves new dock permits on lots without an existing home (per Duke Energy Lake Service). Future Lake James buyers will have to build first, then wait on approval. Here, it's done. The site work is done too — driveway and building pad cleared, shared well in place, underground power for unobstructed views. Amenities include a pool, boat storage, lake access, and a community dock. Short-term rentals are permitted. Just bring your vision — and your sunscreen.

Enjoy the heritage of the Gibbs Mountain area and stake your claim to your piece of the smaller ridges below the crest. From your property, although the peak is only about 4000' to the south-southwest away and roughly 600' above you at approximately 2020' in elevation, you still may not actually get to see it! The wooded expanse of the Forest Heights around you (just as the name implies) may hinder unobstructed views from your property, but with every twist and turn of the road you'll find yourself gazing to see what spectacular beauty your eyes may behold. Rising to the north-northwest and where the hills and valleys dip below your heights, you'll find sporadic long-range views of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Appalachia; all the while being less than 10 miles from Lake James and even a round of golf at the Marion Lake Club. This 5.2 acre lot was combined (lot 72 and 170) by the developer and has 527.89' of road frontage with a drive cut-in previously and some gravel placed. It appears to also go down to a lower level of the property and the "flat" sections can somewhat be seen in some of the photos. The grade is such that a build site would be easily expected. Because the parcels 5+ acres, Covenants allow for an additional guesthouse (with restrictions). Short-term rentals are allowed.
