About 40 Kingfisher Trce #108

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.

Neighborhood & Location

Old Wildlife Club sits on the shores of Lake James, offering a blend of wooded privacy and lake lifestyle. The community is quiet and well-maintained, with private roads, easy cart or short drives to Camp Lake James and shoreline access. Residents enjoy social programming, on-site amenities—pool, fitness center and courts—and quick access to Lake James State Park for hiking. Local schools are served by McDowell County Schools, and the area attracts both full-time homeowners and vacation buyers seeking outdoor recreation without sacrificing quality construction and community services.

Market Insights

Nebo and the Lake James corridor are currently favoring buyers, with inventory near six months and an average days-on-market around 115. That environment is giving buyers time to compare options, but homes in established lake communities like Old Wildlife Club remain resilient because of access and community amenities. Median sales in the broader area sit near $438,500, while high-quality, lake-access single-family homes command premium pricing—recent comparable sales in the same community range from roughly $949K to $2.495M depending on size and direct waterfront. For a modern 2021-built home with deeded boat slip and Camp Lake James membership, competitive pricing at $1,195,000 aligns with a midpoint valuation near $1.2M identified by sales-comparison analysis. This is a good time to consider purchasing if you value long-term appreciation tied to Lake James lifestyle amenities; sellers may show flexibility due to longer market exposure, but desirable inventory is still selective. Buyers should factor HOA dues (approx. $6,400 annually) and membership benefits into total cost-of-ownership while leveraging current market conditions to negotiate terms.
