Perched on its own private peninsula, this custom Lake James waterfront estate captures panoramic views of the lake and surrounding mountains. A tranquil retreat, it features four unique water elements, including a cascading waterfall flowing through lush, tropical landscaping into the deep, clear waters below. The nearly 7,000 sq ft Victorian home spans three levels and boasts a generous wraparound porch perfect for entertaining and sunset watching. Inside, a grand foyer welcomes you with soaring ceilings and a curved staircase. The two-story circular library is a rare architectural gem, while the remodeled kitchen with a wood-burning fireplace creates a cozy gathering space. The second-floor primary suite includes a private balcony and a spa-inspired bath. Additional bedrooms, flexible living spaces, and a finished basement offer room to relax or host. Park your boat under the brand new dock, relax under the stars by the fire pit on the point, and enjoy the best parts of lake living.
