Welcome to Waters Edge — a warm, inviting retreat designed for family vacations, work retreats, or a peaceful mountain escape. Tucked into the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains, this custom-built 5,500 sq ft lakefront home offers space, comfort, and unforgettable views in every season.

The home features two master suites, three additional bedrooms, and four full bathrooms, making it ideal for families and groups who want room to spread out while still feeling connected. On the mainlevel, soak in sweeping mountain and lake views from the living room, kitchen, dining area, and master suite. Start your mornings with coffee on the large covered deck, and end your days watching the sunset after time on the water.

Inside, the main level offers Silestone countertops, warm ash wood floors, and a spa-like master bath with an oversized garden tub. Gather together to watch the game or a family movie on the 85” smart TV, or stay connected with complimentary 1GB Wi-Fi. The open floor plan makes this space perfect for making memories together.

Downstairs, you’ll find elegant marble floors, three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a large walk-in shower. Enjoy a friendly game of foosball, relax on the second covered porch, or let the kids unwind after a day of adventure — this level is designed for fun and comfort.

Step outside to fully experience lake life. A peaceful sitting area invites you to slow down and take in the scenery, while a short walk leads to the private dock and gazebo. The dock is perfect for fishing, sunbathing, or simply relaxing by the water, and includes a boat slip and jet ski lift. Three one person kayaks are also available and included in you rental.

A boat ramp, fuel, and dining are available just a short boat ride away at Bear Creek Marina. The concrete sidewalk down to the gazebo and dock provides easy access for strollers and wheelchairs.

Adventure is always nearby. Lake James State Park offers hiking, mountain biking trails for all skill levels, swimming at Paddy’s Creek, fishing, and educational ranger programs for all ages. Golfers will love the scenic course at Marion Lake Club.

When you’re ready for a day trip, Asheville is just 45 minutes away, home to world-class dining, scenic drives, and the iconic Biltmore House. Winter sports lovers can head to Boone/Blowing Rock in about 1.5 hours for skiing and mountain fun including mountain biking, while Hickory is only 40 minutes away for shopping and dining.

If of interest, this area is home to a collection of microbreweries and wineries; an example Mica Town Brewery is just 2.5 miles away.

Built in 2003 with exceptional attention to detail, Waters Edge truly is a small slice of paradise. Lake James is a year-round destination, and this home is the kind of place families return to again and again.

    This lake house is a fantastic place for large families! Everything was exceptional and definitely will consider another stay here in the future. Enjoyed the beautiful views from the back porch. Kids loved the kayaks, ping pong, large tv, movies and games provided. Plenty of room for our large family. The kitchen was well stocked and lots of seating options for meals. All the beds were very comfortable. Didn’t want to leave!

    Overall it was a great stay. The house is huge and the views are amazing. There are many sleeping options as well as dining tables and areas. The walk to the water from the house is not at all bad compared to most. The driveway however is super steep. There were a few things that could have been slightly better but overall it was excellent. I would have much preferred to use the covered boat slip but I knew that was not an option upfront. When it rains it dumps off the roof right into your boat. The off-site boat trailer storage was a real plus. There are no house keys. The deadbolts on the back of the house are very difficult to lock from the inside. Every time you went on the boat you had to exit the front door, which locks with a code and walk all the way around the house. The downstairs refrigerator needs adjusting, it froze many things. Other than that enjoyed the stay and would go again in the future.

    If you stay here you will never want to leave!!! It is the perfect home for a gathering of family or friends!!! I wish we were still there sitting on the deck or the dock looking at the beautiful views, swimming, playing games, hiking or hanging out in Asheville. The home is beautiful, spacious, clean, and well stocked with everything you will need for your vacation!

    Terri, the property manager was very helpful. Even with a check in glitch, Terri went above and beyond to address an issue. The home was spacious and the beds were very comfortable. We enjoyed all the eating tables that seated almost 30 ppl on one level. Having multiple beds and baths was a big plus. We loved the amazing view and lake to relax and catch up. Thank you for the use of your lake home. It met and surpassed all of our needs for the week!

    The home was perfect for a cousin reunion. The house was well appointed, the lake access easy (for a mountain lake), the views were gorgeous, the lake temperature perfect, the porch revitalizing, plenty of room for play, plus the manager is very accommodating (thank Terri). We will be back!

    It was absolutely perfect for our family of 11. It was big and comfortable. The best thing about the house is the view! We have never stayed anywhere that had a view of the lake and a mountain range. The kids had fun jumping off the boat dock and tubing on the boat that we rented and docked at the property. Lots and lots of memories made! The Viehman & Irwin family

    Very spacious home for gathering with everything you could need. Views are beautiful and easy walk to dock. Great for families with teens as entire lower level has everything they’d need (full kitchen even) or for multiple families. The driveway like many around there is quite shocking as it goes straight down but once at bottom it’s flat into house. Wonderful house overall.
