3100 E Moonlight  Place Unit #42, Morganton
$349,000
4380561 MLS ⋅ ACTIVE Status
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.

Conveniently located just off Piney Mountain Road, the property combines accessibility with the privacy and seclusion buyers seek in a recreational property. Comprising five parcels being offered as one, the land features an extensive internal road system that allows for easy exploration across the entire property. Whether on foot, ATV or car, you’ll appreciate the well-established trail network that winds through gently rolling terrain, making every corner of this tract accessible and enjoyable. Water is a defining feature here. Multiple creeks, streams, and natural springs are scattered throughout, with the centerpiece being White Mill Creek—a year-round flowing creek that runs through the heart of the property. These water sources not only enhance the beauty of the land but also provide excellent habitat for wildlife and potential agricultural uses. Several open and tillable fields are already in place, offering ideal locations for farming, food plots, or future homesteading projects. The trees range from 15 years old to merchantable timber and provide a healthy mix of cover and long-term investment potential. This property is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and hunters alike, with abundant wildlife including deer, turkey, and black bear. The combination of water, cover, and open ground creates an ideal environment for sustaining game populations. Additionally there are two caves on the property adding another unique feature. Adding to its unique character, the property features an old homestead dating back to 1880. The structure still stands, showcasing a stone fireplace and metal roof, and while it requires significant restoration, it offers a glimpse into the past and potential for a meaningful renovation project. A current survey is available, and the seller is willing to offer seller financing. Despite its peaceful, secluded setting, the property is conveniently located within a short drive of Hickory, Morganton, and Blowing Rock, giving you access to shopping, dining, and mountain recreation. Whether you’re looking for a private hunting retreat, a family compound, a homestead, or a recreational getaway, this versatile tract checks all the boxes. Properties of this size and character are increasingly hard to find—this is truly a must-see
