Private Mountain-View Retreat - Turnkey & Ready for Summer 2026 Lake James is coming alive for summer, and this home is ready for you to enjoy now. The owned 12 kW solar array offsets approximately 85% of annual electricity usage, and may deliver up to $3,000 per year in savings every year while keeping the home comfortable in all seasons. Your own private haven above Lake James sits on 2.13 wooded acres in the gated Bear Cliff community, offering long-range mountain views, mature trees, and the rare privacy of bordering protected federal land. Thoughtful upgrades throughout the property make everyday living easy and low-maintenance, with modern systems designed for comfort, reliability, and year-round efficiency. A circular concrete driveway and native landscaping create a welcoming arrival, leading to multiple outdoor living spaces designed for year-round enjoyment. The wraparound deck, screened porch, and quiet seating areas offer peaceful places to take in long-range mountain and winter views-ideal for morning coffee, evening sunsets, or relaxing after a day on Lake James. Inside, the home offers true single-level living with bright, open rooms and hardwood floors throughout. The chef's kitchen features a Wolf gas cooktop, Cafe double oven, Sub-Zero refrigerator, island, and stainless appliances-an ideal setup for cooking, entertaining, or hosting family gatherings. The primary suite includes heated floors and a custom walk-in closet, while additional spaces such as the great room, dining room, breakfast area, office, media room, recreation room, and utility room provide flexibility for work, relaxation, and guests. Behind the scenes, the property is engineered for comfort, efficiency, and long-term 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. Together, these features deliver year-round reliability, reduced operating costs, and a level of infrastructure rarely found 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. Seller is flexible on closing date and requests a 30-day post-closing occupancy.
