About this property

Calm Water Cove | Private Dock on Lake James, Game Room, Fire Pit & Spa Suite — Dogs Welcome!

Escape to Calm Water Cove, nestled near the shores of Lake James, where mountain-lake living meets refined comfort. Whether you're unwinding by the wood-burning fire pit under a canopy of stars or spending the day out on the water, this home delivers the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation. Dogs welcome. Memories guaranteed.

The Dock & Outdoors
Your private two-level dock awaits just 0.3 miles from the house! Whether walking or driving, the short journey allows for a personal gateway to one of WNC's most pristine lakes. Back at the house, a fully fenced backyard offers a haven for your four-legged family members (up to two dogs welcome), while the wood-burning fire pit sets the scene for unforgettable evenings gathered around the flames.

Main Floor — Primary Suite
The main floor primary suite is a true sanctuary. A generous king-size bed anchors the space, complemented by a dedicated seating area perfect for morning coffee or a quiet read. The en suite bathroom is nothing short of spectacular — a floating vanity, elegantly backlit mirrors, and a show-stopping wet room featuring a deep soaking tub and floor-to-ceiling waterfall shower make every morning feel like a spa day.

Upper Loft — Games, Gathering & Guest Rooms
Head upstairs to the open loft, where a foosball table and laid-back game room vibe make it the natural hub for friendly competition and evening laughs. Two well-appointed queen bedrooms share a beautifully finished bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower and lighted vanity — thoughtfully designed with guests in mind.
