Description

Price improvement to $1,099,000. Recent home, well, and septic inspections all came back clean and are available for review. This custom 4,005 sq ft Bear Cliff home offers a chef's kitchen, wine cellar, screened porch, radiant floor heating, and multiple flex spaces including a workshop and media room. 11 Lake James homes went under contract in June, and this adjustment positions the property competitively for summer buyers seeking a move-in-ready home with mountain views, marina access, and low HOA fees. Seller is relocating and motivated to align with an upcoming timeline.
A luxury mountain home priced to support a smooth relocation for the sellers, offering buyers a rare chance to step into a beautifully cared-for retreat at a price that reflects timing rather than the true cost to recreate it. Located in the sought-after Bear Cliff at Lake James gated community, the home's thoughtful upgrades, long-range views, and easy access to the lake create a calm, effortless way of living. With ample boat and RV parking on site and Bear Cliff Marina just a five-minute golf-cart ride away, you enjoy all the benefits of lake life without the upkeep or expense of a waterfront property. It's a warm, welcoming home where all of the major investments have already been made, allowing you to simply settle in and enjoy the lifestyle that draws people to Lake James.
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, Café 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.
