Your own private haven above Lake James sits on 2.13 wooded acres in the gated Bear Cliff community, offering long-range mountain views, mature trees, and the rare privacy of bordering protected federal land. Thoughtful upgrades throughout the property make everyday living easy and low-maintenance, with modern systems designed for comfort, reliability, and year-round efficiency.

Behind the scenes, the property is engineered for comfort, efficiency, and long-term resilience. Systems include an owned solar array, whole-home generator, dual underground 500-gallon propane tanks, tankless water heater, radiant floor heating, heat pump, underground power, engineered drainage, lightning protection, well water, septic, and remote monitoring for key utilities.
