705 Lake Club Drive, Nebo, NC

Elevated above the shoreline within the Marion Lake Club, this 1994 residence occupies a commanding position defined by its unobstructed sightlines of Shortoff Mountain and the expanse of Lake James. The 4,039-square-foot floor plan prioritizes the waterfront perspective, orienting the primary gathering spaces and a refined, coffered-ceiling study toward the lake. The home is engineered for hosting, featuring a walk-out lower level with dual guest suites and an expansive upper balcony for alfresco entertaining. Modern infrastructure, including solar integration and a climate-controlled three-car garage, complements the outdoor amenities, which are headlined by a private gazebo and a double-decker dock equipped with a boat lift. Within the Nebo submarket, properties offering this specific combination of deep-water access and golf course proximity remain the most resilient assets, particularly as inventory on Lake James continues to tighten. The three-bedroom, four-bathroom estate represents a rare opportunity for a turn-key lakeside retreat. Private viewings may be arranged through Peters & Associates.
