Welcome to this gorgeous new home in the highly desirable Catawba River Club, a private gated community where beautiful homes, open pastures, the Catawba River and the Blue Ridge foothills come together to create an exceptional lifestyle. This thoughtfully designed new construction sits on a beautiful homesite that backs directly to the community pastures, offering a picturesque rural setting and the unique opportunity to enjoy horses right outside your back door. The experience and craftsmanship developed through building multi-million-dollar luxury homes has been thoughtfully brought into this build, with an emphasis on premium materials, quality construction and elevated details throughout. For the equestrian enthusiast, the possibilities are especially exciting. The equestrian center features a 16-stall stable, pastures and paddocks, riding facilities and designated riding trails along the Catawba River. Imagine stepping outside each morning to views of horses grazing in the pasture and enjoying a community where the equestrian lifestyle is truly part of the character. Inside, premium details and thoughtful upgrades are found throughout, including 2x6 exterior wall construction, enhanced insulation, spray-foam insulation at the roof deck, and two dedicated heat-pump HVAC systems serving each floor.

The interior features engineered French oak hardwood flooring, 8-foot solid-wood interior doors, real pine trim, custom built-in closet systems, quartz countertops and custom steel interior railings. The kitchen is especially impressive with a Thermador professional appliance package, while designer accent lighting and a dedicated beverage center with an undercounter refrigerator and LED-lit shelving add style and functionality.

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.
