OWNER FINANCING AVAILABLE! TURNKEY SHORT-TERM RENTAL NEAR LAKE JAMES!

Looking for a Lake James investment property, turnkey short-term rental, tiny home, or private mountain getaway? This unique modern container home offers an opportunity to own 3.98 private acres near Lake James, NC, with no HOA and plenty of room to explore future possibilities.

Designed for efficient, low-maintenance living, this approximately 320-square-foot container home is already set up for weekend getaways or short-term rental use. The thoughtfully designed interior includes a breakfast bar, electric cooktop, beverage refrigerator, ductless mini-split heating and cooling, and an easy-to-maintain layout.

Nature is a major part of the property's appeal. A 30-foot hiking trail easement and an 80-foot creek-side park easement border the property, creating added privacy and outdoor appeal that can make a vacation rental especially attractive. Seasonal winter mountain views add to the setting.

The nearly 4-acre unrestricted property with no HOA offers flexibility for buyers interested in a tiny home, homestead, recreational property, vacation rental, or future second home. The existing well and septic systems were strategically sited to accommodate the potential placement of a second home, providing an opportunity to expand the property's possibilities.

Located just minutes from Lake James, one of North Carolina's premier recreational lakes, this property puts boating, fishing, hiking, swimming, and mountain recreation within easy reach.

Whether you're looking for a Lake James vacation rental investment, tiny home retreat, mountain getaway, homestead property, or income-producing short-term rental, this property offers a rare combination of land, privacy, flexibility, and proximity to the lake.
