About This Home

A rare Lake James opportunity in the sought-after Old Wildlife Club community—159 Osprey Roost Drive offers 1.25 acres of pristine waterfront living, a deeded boat slip a short walk away through the community, and the infrastructure already in place for future expansion.

Originally built as a temporary lake retreat with the intention of later converting the structure into a garage once the main home was built, this charming cabin now offers comfortable turnkey living with endless potential. The property includes a 5-bedroom septic permit/system, creating a valuable head start for those dreaming of building a full-size custom lake home.

The existing cabin features one bedroom and one full bath upstairs, as well as an upstairs loft, plus an additional bedroom and half bath downstairs. Two screened porches invite you to slow down and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, while professionally designed landscaping by Appalachian Hardscapes adds thoughtful beauty to the setting.

Additional features include a 30-amp RV hookup with hot tub service already in place, radon mitigation system, monitored alarm system, and an active termite bond for added peace of mind.

Sold turnkey and including both indoor and outdoor furnishings, this property is ready to enjoy immediately—whether as a private lake escape, future dream home site, or investment opportunity.

Adding to the privacy, the adjacent 4-acre parcel belongs to the Old Wildlife Club community, helping preserve the natural buffer and giving the property a tucked-away feel.

Ownership also includes membership access to Camp Lake James, offering resort-style amenities including swimming pool, fitness center, pickleball courts, paddling access, gathering spaces, and on-site dining options exclusively available to community members and guests.

This is a truly unique chance to secure pristine Lake James waterfront property with valuable infrastructure, privacy, amenities, and future potential already in place.
