Inside, clean modern finishes complement the warmth of the log-style design, while a fully finished basement offers refined additional living space for hosting family and guests. Outdoors, the experience continues with covered seating areas, curated low-maintenance landscaping, and softly lighted pathways that guide you from the home to the water’s edge, creating an inviting atmosphere both day and night. Select furnishings, including premium outdoor furnishings curated for lakefront living, are negotiable with an acceptable offer.

Beyond its beauty, this property offers exceptional versatility. With short-term rentals permitted, it presents a rare opportunity to own a luxury retreat that can also serve as a highly desirable vacation investment, appealing to those seeking an elevated Lake James experience. Located within the gated Waters Edge community, residents enjoy low HOA fees, a community beach, and direct access to the Fonta Flora State Trail.
