About this House

This is a rare opportunity for a buyer who recognizes and appreciates true quality construction on majestic, waterfront Lake James. Now with a new bonus room added upstairs and improved, unfinished room over the garage to create space for the extended family! Designed by its English owners in collaboration with Cook Builders, this is the quintessential Cabin in the Woods. It boasts a surprisingly light and airy interior that looks out over Lake James from almost every window. The Mill Creek Timber design includes Douglas Fir which exudes a pleasing hue and will remain strong years after other woods may falter. You'll also notice beautiful reclaimed and refinished Red and White Oak, Birch, and Red Gum woods inside and out, which make the home appear to have always belonged in this place. The sunrises are an outstanding way to start each day, with reds, golds, and pinks streaming into the master bedroom and the huge double shower and cast iron bath. Added, you won't find an easier, flatter walk from the back porch to the amazing dock and beach, already in place. Membership to Camp Lake James included.

    "They may like how easy it is to just get out and walk then but we don’t have an actual dog park. And some areas of Nebo can be a little sketchy. "

    "The natural beauty of this area is breath taking. I wish every place in North Carolina had the views, peace, and tranquility that this area has. Your not too far from big cities like Ashville, but far enough away from it to feel like heaven on earth!"
