About this property
Quiet Waterfront Lake House with Private Dock
Completed in 2021, this Max Fulbright and TruHome Designs house is a spacious home on a quiet peninsula at Lake James. This modern rustic home sits on an acre of land with a beautiful view of Lake James and the North Carolina mountains. The home features 3 master bedrooms each with private bathrooms and huge showers. An additional 4th bedroom has a queen bed and shares a bathroom with the bunk-room which accommodates 6. The lower level family room is equipped with bar area, mini fridge, television, numerous games, pool table and activities table. There are amenities throughout including most appliances and cooking utensils you'll need, place settings for 16, BBQ grill with grilling accessories. There is plenty of outdoor seating on the decks and at the dock for relaxation and take in the scenery, especially the incredible sunsets.
At the lake is a private dock with a 24 ft. boat slip. 2 Kayaks, 2 Paddle-boards and life vests are available for guests. Our dock and everything on it is provided for our guests. You may bring your own boat or rent one locally. The neighborhood provides a locked, boat trailer storage area offsite for guests and homeowners.
INTERNET: WiFi internet provided by Starlink is available at the house right now. It provides high speed access but will not seem as fast as cable or fiber. It's more than adequate for streaming movies, zoom calls, etc.
There is a pool and common area near the entrance of the neighborhood which will be accessible to all guests, however, it is not always open so please don't use the pool as a basis for your stay (amended 7/18/23). Use of the common areas requires utmost respect and consideration so we may be able to continue offering these amenities.
10 minutes from Lake James state park with hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails. 10 minutes to Fonta Flora Brewery at Whipporwhil Farm where you can enjoy local brews and outdoor games. 60 minutes from Asheville, 1.5 hours from a Charlotte.

About the host
Hosted by Tara and Tim Riddell
We love traveling around and experiencing as much as we can.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with this part of North Carolina years ago. We found this particular property mostly by chance but it quickly became our opportunity. The beautiful lake and mountain views, the not-so-steep approach to the water, the quiet location, the orientation for sunsets, the position on the lake's inlet providing privacy and quiet, the genuine friendliness of the people in the area; these are all factors which told us this was the right spot.
What makes this property unique
The house sits on the side of hill overlooking Lake James. It's below the approach of the property which provides wonderful privacy from the road. It sits above the lake which provides amazing and serene views. The back deck sits high above the ground and you feel as if you're in the treetops. There are abundant opportunities to view wildlife such as deer, fox, wild turkeys, pileated woodpeckers; the list goes on. The house is far enough away from everything to enjoy quiet and privacy but close enough to most conveniences to not be inconvenient. Fonta Flora Brewery at Whippoorwill Farms 15 minutes away is one of OUR favorite places to take friends and family for pizza, burgers and drinks. Lake James State Park, Fonta Flora Trail, Linville Gorge, and many others are within 30 minutes of the house.
Bottom line, stay at the house, get out and explore or a little of both. You certainly will not lack for things to do and see.
