Your Own Private Haven Above Lake James!
Set on 2.13 private acres in the gated Bear Cliff community, this home offers peaceful mountain living with long-range views, mature trees, and the rare privacy of bordering protected federal land. The setting feels calm and natural, yet the home is supported by thoughtful upgrades that make everyday living easy, reliable, and low-maintenance.
A circular concrete driveway, native landscaping, and an attached garage create a welcoming arrival. Multiple outdoor living spaces—including a wraparound deck and screened porch—offer year-round enjoyment and quiet places to take in the mountain and winter views.
Inside, the home features true single-level living with bright, open rooms and hardwood floors throughout. The chef’s kitchen is equipped with a Wolf gas cooktop, Café double oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, island, and stainless appliances. The primary suite includes heated floors and a custom closet. Additional spaces include a great room, dining room, breakfast area, office, media room, recreation room, and utility room.
Behind the scenes, the property is engineered for comfort and resilience. Systems include an owned solar array, whole-home generator, dual underground 500-gallon propane tanks, tankless water heater, radiant floor heating, heat pump, underground power, engineered drainage, lightning protection, well water, septic, and remote monitoring for key utilities. These features provide year-round reliability and reduced maintenance—capabilities rarely found together in Lake James homes.
The lower level adds a 500-bottle wine cellar and a large workshop with a roll-up door, ideal for tools, projects, or storage. An oversized concrete pad provides dedicated RV and boat parking.
Whether you’re spending the day on Lake James, exploring Pisgah National Forest, or relaxing on the deck, this home offers a private, comfortable, and well-designed retreat with modern systems that support a peaceful mountain lifestyle.
