Burke County Real Estate | Burke County Waterfront Properties for Sale

2306 Princeton Mountain, Connelly Springs

This 1.05± acre waterfront lot in the Lakeside Reserve subdivision of Connelly Springs, Burke County, North Carolina, has had much of the groundwork already done.

The lot has also been forestry mulched, and a driveway has been installed. On the permitting side, an NC Water Quality Permit has been submitted, a marine construction permit has been filed, and the Duke Energy permit fee has been paid, which saves a buyer time and upfront cost when planning a build. With frontage directly on the water, the property offers potential for docking access, subject to approval. Utility power lines are located on the neighboring parcel. Lakeside Reserve HOA amenities include a pool, pickleball courts, a pavilion, and walking trails. For anyone looking for a lake lot that is ready for the next step, this tract in Burke County is worth a look.

Some homes offer a view. This Southpointe waterfront retreat offers a panorama so broad, natural, and uninterrupted that it becomes the defining experience of the property. From the moment you enter, Lake James fills the windows and the mountain horizon stretches far beyond the water. Instead of looking across at neighboring homes, the eye travels over open lake, the forested shoreline of Lake James State Park, and layer after layer of Blue Ridge peaks. Only the slightest glimpse of another house may be visible, allowing the setting to feel private and almost untouched. The panorama encompasses many of Western North Carolina's most recognizable landmarks, including Mt. Mitchell and the Seven Sisters, Dobson's Knob, Wiseman's View, Shortoff Mountain, and, in the far distance, Grandfather Mountain. Set on a hidden drive at the end of a quiet cul de sac, the home was designed to keep this landscape in constant view. Expansive windows and glass doors frame the water from the great room, dining area, kitchen, primary suite, and outdoor living spaces. Step onto the covered porch, screened porch, wraparound deck, or open deck and the panorama widens further. These spaces offer front row seating for mist rising from the lake, clouds gathering around Mt. Mitchell, and distant mountains fading from deep green to blue. Whether enjoying coffee at sunrise, dinner outdoors, or a quiet evening, the setting feels more like a private overlook than a neighborhood home. Inside, approximately 6,085 square feet provides the scale to host family and friends while preserving the warmth of a mountain lake retreat. The great room features soaring wood ceilings, exposed beams, rich wood floors, and a dramatic stone fireplace, all positioned to complement rather than compete with the view. The open kitchen offers a large island, generous cabinetry, gas cooking, wall oven, warming drawer, beverage and wine refrigerators, and a walk in pantry. The adjoining dining area makes the lake and mountains the backdrop for every gathering. The main level primary suite offers privacy, convenience, and a peaceful place to wake to water and mountain scenery. Two upper level bedrooms and a full bath provide comfortable guest accommodations. The daylight walkout lower level includes three additional bedrooms, two full baths, one half bath, a den, second kitchen, wet bar, play room, laundry, and storage. With six bedrooms, four full baths, and two half baths, everyone can gather comfortably while still finding a quiet place of their own. The journey to the waterfront is part of the experience. Leaving the house, you pass an outdoor shower before following a smooth, gentle path with a hand railing toward the lake. Along the way, a covered gazebo offers a wonderful place to pause, sit, and take in the remarkable view across the water, state park, and mountains. Continue to the shoreline, where a floating dock, covered structure, and boat lift make it easy to enjoy boating, swimming, paddling, and exploring Lake James. At the end of the day, return to the gazebo or porch and watch the mountains transform as the light moves across the protected shoreline and distant ridgelines. This is more than a spacious Lake James waterfront home. It is a rare vantage point where the lake, state park, and an extraordinary collection of mountain landmarks come together in one sweeping view. For buyers seeking privacy, natural beauty, and a landscape that feels almost entirely free of development, 5140 Beech Bluff Drive offers a perspective that must be experienced in person. Home is being sold fully furnished.

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.
