Discover a beautiful 1.48 acre homesite in The Arbor at Lake James, offering mature trees, more than 120 feet of road frontage, long range views, and seasonal mountain scenery. The lot begins with a gentle slope near the road, creating a generous and usable area for a future home, driveway, and outdoor living spaces. Mature hardwoods provide privacy and a peaceful wooded setting, while the terrain becomes steeper toward the rear of the property, adding natural separation and character. One of the highlights of Lot 26 12 is its view potential. Long range views extend beyond the surrounding trees, with even more pronounced mountain views during the winter months. A thoughtfully positioned home could take advantage of these sightlines with large windows, porches, or decks designed to enjoy the surrounding landscape. With ample road frontage and a favorable building area near the front portion of the lot, buyers have flexibility when planning their future home. Selective clearing could help open the views while preserving the natural canopy and privacy that make the property so appealing. Located in The Arbor, an established community near Lake James, this homesite offers a quiet setting surrounded by the natural beauty of Western North Carolina. Whether you are planning a full time residence or a mountain retreat, Lot 26 12 provides an excellent opportunity to create a home that feels connected to the woods, the mountains, and the Lake James lifestyle. Bring your builder, walk the property, and imagine the possibilities this scenic homesite has to offer.
