You notice the craftsmanship before you reach the front door: Hardie plank board-and-batten siding, a stone foundation and stone-wrapped columns that give this 2021-built home a quietly commanding presence on its 2.42-acre parcel. Set inside the Old Wildlife Club and just 0.2 miles from Lake James, 40 Kingfisher Trace #108 blends mountain materials with modern systems—metal and shingle roofing, underground electric, heat-pump HVAC, and a tankless water heater—so this retreat is built for low-maintenance living.
Step inside to vaulted ceilings and engineered hardwood floors that run through the main gathering spaces. A floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the great room while the kitchen presents granite counters, a large center island and abundant cabinetry—an ideal hub whether you’re hosting friends after a day on the water or preparing family meals. The primary suite on the main level affords privacy, a walk-in closet, an elevated bathroom layout and convenient main-floor laundry.
Upstairs, a charming loft secured by a sliding barn door offers flexible space for an office, play area or additional sleeping nook; an extra bedroom completes the upper level. The finished lower level was designed for entertaining: another full stone fireplace, a large granite wet bar, two bedrooms joined by a Jack-and-Jill bath, extensive storage and a clever doghouse tucked beneath the stairs.
Outdoor living here is exceptional. Trex decking on the front porch and rear deck, a massive screened-in back deck, full concrete patio and a large firepit area create multiple settings for gatherings, quiet evenings and alfresco meals. Membership to Camp Lake James is included, and the home conveys a deeded boat slip—so launching a boat or taking an evening cruise on Lake James is part of the everyday lifestyle. Whether you’re seeking a year-round residence or a Lake James getaway, this property’s combination of high-quality finishes, thoughtful layout and community amenities delivers a rare package in today’s market.
