Welcome to lot 131 of The Peninsula at Lake James. A rare opportunity to own one of the best remaining main channel lots on Lake James, offering sweeping mountain views and panoramic open water views. This spectacular property is tucked inside the Peninsula at Lake James, one of the area’s most desirable gated lakefront communities known for its upscale amenities and breathtaking natural beauty.
Positioned on a sloping homesite, the lot provides an ideal setup for a walk-out basement, while offering year-round, uninterrupted views across the shimmering waters of Lake James and out to the Blue Ridge Mountains. With private dock eligibility (pending Duke Power approval), you'll have direct access to the lake’s beautiful water perfect for boating, paddle boarding, fishing, or relaxing with friends and family at sunset.
