Overview

This for-sale waterfront land parcel offers a buildable homesite with a cleared shoreline at Lake James. The property spans 1.13 acres and is presented as a ready-to-develop lakefront setting for an owner-builder or development-minded buyer looking to create a residence positioned close to the water.

The site is located within the Southpointe at Lake James community. The listing notes that the prior dock permit has expired, and the seller will provide a credit at closing toward obtaining a new permit.

For buyers planning to design a primary residence or a secondary lake home, the combination of cleared shoreline and lakefront positioning can simplify early site planning and landscaping decisions. The dock-permit credit also provides a practical path to address waterfront access as part of the project timeline. Prospective buyers should review the dock permit requirements as part of their due diligence and confirm next steps for permitting and site development with the appropriate authorities before moving forward.
