Coffee under the trees, then a short walk through to Lake James. Lot 25 in The Enclave at Lake James offers 1.53 wooded acres on the water in a gated community with over 50 acres of shared natural land, trails for hiking and biking, community waterfront areas, and underground utilities. Spend your days skiing, sailing, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing, or swimming on a lake with 150 miles of shoreline. Roughly 72 of those miles will never be developed, including Lake James State Park, the largest waterfront state park in North Carolina. Covenants call for a site built home of at least 1,800 heated square feet, set back 125 feet from the lake line behind a 100 foot natural buffer. That keeps the shore green and the building standards high. There's no dock today, and any dock needs Duke Energy approval. This is raw land with no well, septic, or utilities on site. Private roads are kept up by the property owners association. Buyers should review the recorded covenants and check building, septic, and rental plans during due diligence. The amendments describe common piers on Common Open Space 4. They have 8 assigned slips (S-1 to S-8), handed out to owners through a separate recorded assignment, plus 2 community slips. Since this is a gated communities, all showings must be entered into Showing Time to gain access.
