New Price! Set on 3.71 private acres in the gated Waters Edge community, this rare Lake James homesite offers a large, level waterfront on one of the lake's quietest coves — calm, clear, wake-free water perfect for swimming, kayaking, and paddleboarding for miles right from your own backyard, with the cove opening up quickly into the main body of the lake. Tucked into an environmentally protected, no-wake, no-thru-traffic cove, the setting feels private and undisturbed, with no boats passing by. This is a non-dockable lot, and the cove is shallow and recedes with the seasonal winter drawdown — in summer, though, there's room to tie up a small boat or jet skis right at the shoreline, making this an ideal fit for a low-key, hands-in-the-water lake life. The wooded, gently sloping site is ready to build on or enjoy as-is: driveway, parking, and boat trailer storage already in place, soil test on record for septic, and the Fonta Flora State Trail easement running directly along the back edge of the property. Underground power, high-speed internet, and city water are available. Short-term rentals are allowed. Adjacent to 47.99 acres of protected green space, this lot feels more like a private nature preserve than a typical lakefront homesite. The community beach, a nearby marina and a public boat launch keep the full lake experience within easy reach for anyone wanting to get out on the water. Morganton is 15 minutes away; Asheville under an hour. Seclusion, acreage, and a front-row seat to Lake James — all in one place. NC Agent Owned.

DEEDED BOAT SLIP INCLUDED! This isn't just a townhome—it's one of the most affordable ways to own the lake lifestyle you've been dreaming about. Skip the marina waitlists because your boat has a permanent home, and it conveys with the property. Opportunities like this in Waters Edge are incredibly rare. Welcome to one of Belmont's most desirable waterfront communities, where neighbors become friends, weekends are spent on the water, and summer never really ends. From the inviting front porch with room for rocking chairs to the beautifully designed interior, every space was created for comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining. The open-concept main level seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining area, breakfast bar, and spacious family room, creating the perfect gathering place for family and friends. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinet space, and a convenient drop zone make daily life both functional and stylish. A flexible main-level room with a closet provides the perfect fourth bedroom, private home office, or guest space, while a conveniently located half bath completes the first floor. Step outside to your own private backyard retreat. A fully fenced yard, expansive patio, additional seating area, and low-maintenance artificial turf mean you'll spend your weekends enjoying life instead of maintaining it. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features an elegant tray ceiling and a spa-inspired bath with a large walk-in shower and built-in bench. One of the home's most thoughtful features is the oversized walk-in closet with direct access to the laundry room—a convenience you'll appreciate every single day. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the upper level. Beyond your front door, the Waters Edge lifestyle continues with a community pool just a short walk away, nearby Tailrace Marina, the Belmont YMCA, JR Cash's Grill & Bar, charming downtown Belmont, and quick access to I-85 for an easy Charlotte commute. The deeded boat slip sets this property apart. It's not a shared community amenity or a waiting list opportunity—it conveys with the home, giving you permanent access to the Catawba River whenever adventure calls. Combine that with a beautifully maintained four-bedroom townhome, private outdoor living space, and an unbeatable Belmont location, and you'll understand why opportunities like this rarely come available.
