Custom, distinctive waterfront estate with an unheard of 550+ feet of prime Lake James shoreline. Perched on its own peninsula with breathtaking views of the lake and mountains, the tranquil oasis features four unique water features, including a serene waterfall flowing through a rain forest area into the clean, deep, fresh waters of Lake James. The three-story Victorian home boasts nearly 7,000 square feet with a large wrap-around porch perfect for entertaining and watching the sunset. Inside, a grand foyer welcomes you with high ceilings and a curving staircase. The two-story circular library is a showstopper, and the remodeled kitchen with wood burning fireplace is the heart of the home. The second floor hosts a luxurious primary suite with a balcony and updated spa-like bathroom. Additional bedrooms and a versatile basement space complete this exceptional property. This Lake James retreat offers an unparalleled lifestyle, blending luxurious living with the beauty of nature.
