Experience Lake James living from the ground up on this rare, waterfront homesite in sought-after Southpointe. This 0.96-acre lot at 1590 Hawks Pointe Lane offers a gently sloping, wooded setting that naturally lends itself to a luxury home with a walkout lower level and expansive outdoor living to capture serene cove views and year-round privacy. With its generous width, topography, and utilities available at the street, the site is a ready canvas for an architect-designed retreat that feels both elevated and effortless. This lot is also listed under a proposed construction listing at MLS#4354550. Tucked into a quiet cove, the property includes an existing private dock, giving you immediate access to boating, paddling, fishing, and sunset cruises without ever leaving your backyard. The slope from street to shoreline allows for a dramatic arrival at road level, then an easy flow down through terraces, covered porches, and potentially an infinity-edge pool toward the water’s edge. Mature trees frame the homesite and help preserve a sense of seclusion while still placing you in one of Lake James’ most established communities. Located in the Southpointe neighborhood on the shores of Lake James, this lot is surrounded by custom homes and thoughtfully maintained common areas. Community amenities include a lakeside pool, clubhouse, and walking trails, giving owners multiple ways to enjoy the lake lifestyle beyond their own dock. Wide, well-kept streets and carefully curated architecture create a cohesive streetscape that supports long-term property values and a true neighborhood feel instead of a transient vacation environment. Southpointe’s covenants and architectural guidelines are designed to protect both aesthetics and investment. The community is restricted to single-family residences, with minimum square footage requirements and an architectural review process for all new construction and significant exterior changes. No manufactured homes, RVs as permanent residences, or commercial uses are allowed. Setback, design, and material standards encourage high-quality construction and a harmonious look among homes, while still allowing each owner to express an individual style. Everyday conveniences are within easy reach. Morganton’s shops, restaurants, and services are a short drive away, with regional destinations like Hickory and Asheville accessible for work, health care, and entertainment. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to state parks, hiking and biking trails, and other Lake James access points, creating a four-season playground at your doorstep. Yet when you return home, the cove setting and wooded surroundings bring a sense of calm that feels far from busy corridors. For buyers, architects, and builders seeking a premier Lake James homesite with a balance of privacy, community, and design control, this Southpointe lot is an outstanding opportunity. Bring your builder, your plans, or your imagination and design a home that steps down the hillside to the water, with walls of glass, generous porches, and indoor-outdoor spaces that make the most of this special setting. Schedule a walking tour of the property to experience the lay of the land and begin envisioning your own custom retreat on Lake James.

A truly rare offering along the Catawba River, this remarkable approximately 109+/-acre tract presents an exceptional opportunity for both estate buyers and long-term land investors seeking privacy, water frontage, and scale in one of Western North Carolina’s most desirable natural corridors. Properties of this size with direct river frontage are increasingly scarce, making this tract a standout acquisition for those who understand the long-term value of land. The property offers an impressive combination of seclusion, natural beauty, and versatility. Predominantly wooded with logging roads already in place, the land provides a private and peaceful setting ideal for a luxury estate, generational family compound, or recreational retreat, while still offering meaningful upside for investors looking to land-bank or hold a unique riverfront asset. The expansive acreage allows for multiple potential homesites, trails, and recreational uses without sacrificing privacy or views. The Catawba River frontage adds a distinctive and irreplaceable element—offering scenic views, natural buffers, and recreational enjoyment such as kayaking, fishing, and wildlife observation. Riverfront land of this scale provides not only lifestyle appeal, but also long-term intrinsic value that is increasingly difficult to replicate due to environmental protections and limited supply. There are no known easements, encroachments, or conservation restrictions currently affecting the property, and no known severance of timber, mineral, or development rights, allowing future owners flexibility in how the land is utilized. A survey/plat is available, with acreage reported at approximately 109 acres, supporting clarity for due diligence and planning. Utilities such as electric service, water access, cable, and high-speed internet are available nearby, enhancing the feasibility of estate development while maintaining the property’s rural character. As typical with land of this nature, septic evaluations should be completed during the buyer’s due diligence period. Whether you are an estate buyer seeking a once-in-a-generation riverfront setting or an investor recognizing the long-term value of large-acreage Catawba River land, this property delivers a rare blend of privacy, water frontage, and future potential. Opportunities like this are increasingly limited—secure your position in one of the region’s most enduring natural assets.
