Deeded boat slip, private dock with lift, and 0.49 acres of level, cleared shoreline on Lake James — in the Marion Lake Club community, where waterfront rarely comes available. The outdoor living is the reason to buy this house. Weather-resistant IPE decks wrap the lake side. A full outdoor kitchen and a covered rear porch face the sunrise. A finished gazebo with electricity sits between the lawn and the water, and the private dock carries a lift sized for a triple pontoon, a swim ladder, and a sun deck. Inside, 3,060 square feet arranged as two complete living levels. Rather than dividing that space into small rooms, the home gives you two private primary suites — one on each floor — with generous shared living between them. The main level opens to tinted lake-side glass that frames the water without the glare, with hickory hardwood floors, custom hickory cabinetry, quartz counters, plantation shutters, and gas logs for cool mountain evenings. The walk-out lower basement level is a second private suite in its own right: daylight throughout, its own primary bedroom, two full baths, a generous game room, and direct access out to the dock path. It works equally well for guests, for family, or as a fully separate retreat. Three and a half baths in all. Brown metal roofs on the house, gazebo, and dock. An exterior wrapped entirely in rock and brick in 2008, a brand-new electrical panel, and City of Marion water just installed. A two-bedroom lake home built for the way lake houses actually get used — room to gather, privacy for two couples, and no wasted square footage. Lake James State Park, the Fonta FloraState Trail, and Marion Lake Club dining and golf are all minutes away. Asheville is under an hour; Charlotte under two.

There are pieces of land that feel like they have been waiting on someone. Not in a restless way, but with a quiet patience, as if they already know what they are and simply need the right steward to come along. Lot 1 on Clayton Island is one of those places. Set on approximately 1.84 acres, this remarkable waterfront property forms part of a rare three lot peninsula that stretches gracefully into the main channel of Lake James, just beyond Bear Creek Marina. From above, it looks like something drawn by a careful hand. From the ground, it feels even better. The land itself offers a gentle, usable building site, something that is not always guaranteed along the shores of Lake James. The walk to the water is easy and inviting, not a chore but a quiet transition from home to lake. Waiting at the shoreline is a private, oversized floating dock already in place, as if it has been expecting you all along. Views stretch outward across the water toward the mountains, long and steady, changing with the light and the seasons but never losing their sense of calm. The setting is wooded and private, giving you room to breathe while still placing you squarely in the heart of one of North Carolina’s most treasured lakes. There is NO HOA, no HOA dues with ownership of this lot offering flexibility for those looking to create a private estate, a second home, or a place to gather generations under one roof. Water and septic will be needed. It is not often that land like this becomes available. Waterfront, usable, private, and positioned in such a way that it feels both connected and set apart at the same time. If you have been waiting for a piece of Lake James that offers both beauty and possibility, you may find that this one has been waiting on you just the same.
