There is a place where the woods hold their silence and the mountains stand just beyond the trees, steady as time itself. In The Arbor, one of Lake James’ most cherished gated communities, that place has been carefully shaped into something both refined and welcoming. This beautiful 2025 custom home, now offering approximately 2,112 square feet of living space, pairs thoughtful design with quiet mountain elegance. Expansive windows, 8 foot glass doors, and 10 foot ceilings draw in forest framed, year round mountain views, while the open concept great room moves with ease onto full length back decks, three below and one already plumbed for a hot tub. Step outside to a lush yard complete with fire pit, BBQ, and picnic area, the kind of setting that invites long evenings and easy conversation. Inside, the home carries a bright and polished feel with wide plank oak floors, Medallion cabinetry, and leathered quartz throughout. The gourmet kitchen features a baker’s oven, butler’s pantry, and views stretching toward Dobson’s Knob. The spacious primary suite offers a recessed ceiling, private balcony access, and a custom closet with window seat, while the spa like ensuite includes a three head shower designed for both comfort and function. Guest rooms provide deep closets, built ins, and one includes direct balcony access, while the guest bath features a cast iron tub and spa style shower. An oversized two car garage with workspace adds practicality to the home’s thoughtful design. A separate approximately 400 square foot studio with private entrance offers flexibility for guests, work, or creative space, complete with a full bath, vanity, and sitting area. Also, there is direct access to an unfinished area under the house that provides more than ample storage. Recent enhancements include new 2026 boat slips with water and electric, along with fiber optic internet for modern convenience. A deeded boat slip on Lake James is included, and short term rentals are allowed, offering both personal enjoyment and investment potential. This is a home that does not rush to impress, but instead settles in, steady and sure, offering comfort, beauty, and a lasting connection to Lake James. $10,000 special assessment for boatslip has already been paid by seller.
