Property Information

Nestled within The Arbor, Lake James' premier 643-acre gated enclave,
this custom built 2025 home with deeded boat slip is ready for immediate
occupancy. Enjoy year-round panoramic mountain views framed by lush,
secluded forest. This is a mountain retreat with absolute attention to detail
and sophisticated modern refinement throughout.
Abundant natural light floods the interior through floor-to-ceiling Pella
windows, 8ft. glass entryways, and soaring 10ft. ceilings that dissolve
boundaries between indoors and nature. The expansive great room
centers around an imposing Biltmore-style stone hearth, while 12 ft.Pella
sliders open to connect seamlessly with wraparound deck. Three additional
levels of outdoor terraces extend living space outward, one pre-plumbed for
hot tub installation.
Wide plank Chesapeake oak floors, Medallion cabinetry, and luxurious
leathered quartz with Kohler fixtures give this home a bright and polished
feel that’s modern yet cozy. Upgraded Allure siding and top tier Sherwin
Williams paint indoor and out ensures long lasting weather resistant
performance.
Thoughtful outdoor amenities surround the property including extra large
manicured lawn, fire pit, grilling station, and several shaded picnic spaces
ideal for gatherings.
The chef's kitchen commands sweeping mountain panoramas and includes
upscale appliances such as a dedicated baking oven, under counter
microwave and butlers pantry with wine cooler, sink and extra large
cabinetry storage.
The primary suite sanctuary features clean recessed ceilings, an exclusive
terrace access, and bespoke wardrobe storage anchored by a custom
window bench.
A luxurious spa bath surrounds relaxation with triple-shower configuration
balancing performance and pampering. Secondary bedrooms offer
substantial built-in storage, deep hanging space, and individual balcony
connections. Convenience defines arrival with a generously sized two-car garage featuring flush-grade access directly into the mudroom for effortless unloading.
