Trailside Escape on the Fonta Flora Trail and near Lake James!

Want to visit Lake James but can't afford a waterfront property? We are the house for you! The public beach is just 1/4 mile walk from our front door! Pack your bathing suit, hiking boots or picnic basket! Our new home is just a short walk to Lake James and the Fonta Flora trail. The area is filled with outdoor activities including boating, fishing, hiking, rock climbing and wine tasting!

You will love your location in this quiet, gated community. Stroll down to the shore of Lake James, fed by the fresh mountain waters of the Linville and Catawba Rivers, or slip your boat in at the Linville boat ramp, just a 5 minute drive away.

Prefer the mountains to the water? Try out a favorite local hike. You will be near the Mountain to Sea Trail, Table Rock, Shortoff, South Mountains State Park, the Chimneys, Linville Gorge, McGalliard Falls, and so many more. Conveniently located an hour east of Asheville and 45 minutes form Black Mountain and Linville Caverns.

Looking for a little R&R after a full day outdoors? Enjoy Morganton's quaint downtown, with plenty of breweries and restaurants, or one of several nearby vineyards.
