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.

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.

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.
