Higher Ground at Lake James | Hot Tub, Boat Slip & Game Room!

Nestled within the pristine gated community of The Enclave, Higher Ground at Lake James is located on a private and expansive 5-acre lot with access to a deeded boat slip. Outfitted with sleek, modern amenities, the home boasts a hot tub, indoor and outdoor gas log fireplace, fire pit, and game room. When you're not relaxing and taking advantage of the numerous amenities at this marvelous vacation home, spend your days soaking up the sun while boating and swimming on Lake James or exploring nearby hiking trails like the Fonta Flora Loop in Lake James State Park. For view chasers, this home is about an hour's drive from Linville Gorge Wilderness–aka the “Grand Canyon of the East” and the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway, which offers even more views and hikes.

After a fun-filled day of adventure, grab a craft beer at Fonta Flora's open-air brewery at Whippoorwill Farm before heading to J. Hartman's for fresh seafood and a cocktail or McDowell Local for a delicious burger paired with NC staple, Cheerwine. Before saying goodbye to the mountains of Western North Carolina, take an hour's drive to explore the hip River Arts District and iconic Biltmore Estate in Asheville. The “Land of Sky” is home to an impressive number of award-winning restaurants and breweries along with local shops filled with special keepsakes to remind you of your time in the enchanting Blue Ridge Mountains!
