Welcome to this exceptionally efficient and well maintained 4,000 sq ft home located in the pristine Bear Cliff at Lake James gated community. Designed and built for year-round reliability, this 3-bed, 3.5-bath residence blends luxury living with a rare engineered resiliency package that ensures comfort, continuity, and ease of operation in every season. Pride of ownership is evident throughout, with thoughtful updates and consistent care that set this home apart. Resiliency and efficiency anchor the home’s infrastructure. Two underground, owned 500-gallon propane tanks provide extended fuel capacity supporting gas appliances and a whole home generator. An owned solar array reduces monthly power usage dramatically lowering operating costs. The whole-house generator delivers dependable b ackup power with near-instant activation and may have a potential runtime up to 40 days depending on usage. Key systems can be monitored and controlled remotely with a cellphone, making the home exceptionally easy to manage whether you’re onsite or away. Together, these integrated components offer a level of autonomy and peace of mind rarely found in mountain-lake properties. Set on 2.13 private acres, the property features native landscaping, a circular driveway, and a double garage, creating a low-maintenance outdoor environment. An oversized concrete pad provides dedicated space for boat or RV storage. A large basement workshop provides valuable space for projects, hobbies, storing golf carts, or tools. The low maintenance grounds and resilient infrastructure appeals to owners who chose fulltime occupancy as well as those who travel or spend extended periods away. Inside the home, premium hardwood floors bring warmth and timeless character, while the updated chef’s kitchen features a Wolf range top, Café double oven, and Sub-Zero refrigeration, offering both everyday functionality and high-end performance. The spacious primary suite provides a private retreat with heated floors and a custom-designed closet that enhances comfort and organization. Additional living spaces throughout the home support both relaxation and entertaining, with thoughtful design that complements the property’s overall emphasis on durability and ease. Just minutes from Lake James and Pisgah National Forest, the home offers immediate access to boating, kayaking, fishing, hiking, and miles of protected natural shoreline—provides recreation with the long-term stability of a permanently conserved landscape. Bear Creek Marina is a short drive away for convenient lake access and amenities. Whether you prefer peaceful mornings on the water or active afternoons outdoors, the lake and forest lifestyle is right at your doorstep. Bear Cliff offers affordable HOA dues and a well-kept community setting, all within 15 minutes of Marion’s shopping and dining—balancing privacy, serenity, and convenience in one of the region’s most desirable lake and mountain environments. This rare combination of engineered resiliency, low-maintenance living, and premium features makes this home an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking long-term comfort and confidence in a beautifully maintained setting.
