About this House
Tucked away within the exclusive Old Wildlife Club enclave, this expansive 3.4-acre property combines serene natural beauty with luxury resort-style living. A standout feature of this parcel is the potential for two distinct homesites—ideal for a private estate with a guest cottage, family compound, or legacy retreat.
A babbling creek traces the lower boundary of the property, while adjoining protected open space enhances the sense of privacy. Just beyond the open space, a short stroll leads directly to the shore of Lake James.
The property also includes a deeded boat slip equipped with an electric Hydrolift, located just a short walk or ATV ride away, making lake access effortless. From your slip, enjoy a quick boat ride to the vibrant Camp Lake James clubhouse and marina.
At Camp Lake James, outdoor adventure and elevated relaxation coexist seamlessly. Residents enjoy lakeside dining and social gatherings at the clubhouse, an Olympic-sized swimming pool, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a private beach area, lakeside fire pits, and thoughtfully maintained campsites for memorable evenings under the stars. More than just a homesite, this is an opportunity to create a legacy estate where rugged nature meets an elevated, curated lifestyle.
