Overview

One of the most unique and valuable homesites in Old Wildlife Club on Lake James, Lot 14 offers an exceptional opportunity to create a true waterfront compound in a premier, gated lake community. Encompassing approximately 6 acres with over 2,100 feet of shoreline, this rare compound-designated lot allows two dwelling units, ideal for a main residence and guest house or multi-generational retreat. The shoreline is fully stabilized along the entire lake frontage, providing long-term protection, ease of access, and peace of mind, an increasingly rare and valuable feature on Lake James. A private boat dock is already in place, allowing immediate enjoyment of the lake without the uncertainty of future permitting. The homesite features a gently sloping, wooded landscape with multiple potential building envelopes, offering flexibility for custom design while maintaining privacy and natural beauty. Thoughtful land planning and mature hardwoods create a serene setting that feels worlds away, yet remains easily accessible. Ownership includes access to Old Wildlife Club’s trail system and membership at Camp Lake James, the area’s renowned adventure and wellness center with lakefront amenities, fitness facilities, pools, and year-round activities. Architectural standards protect both privacy and long-term value. This is a rare chance to secure a fully improved, docked, compound waterfront property in one of Lake James’ most respected and thoughtfully designed communities
