Perched on its own private peninsula, this custom Lake James waterfront estate captures panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains. A tranquil retreat, it features four unique water elements, including a cascading waterfall flowing through lush, tropical landscaping into the deep, clear waters below. The nearly 7,000 sq ft Victorian home spans three levels and boasts a generous wraparound porch perfect for entertaining and sunset watching. Inside, a grand foyer welcomes you with soaring ceilings and a curved staircase. The two-story circular library is a rare architectural gem, while the remodeled kitchen with a wood-burning fireplace creates a cozy gathering space. The second-floor primary suite includes a private balcony and a spa-inspired bath. Additional bedrooms, flexible living spaces, and a finished basement offer room to relax or host. Park your boat under the brand new dock, relax under the stars by the fire pit on the point, and enjoy the best parts of lake living.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
