The Reserve At Barefoot Landing Homes for Sale

The Reserve at Barefoot Landing brings a distinctly lake-oriented format to the Marion side of Lake James: deeded lots, mountain views, shoreline access, and a gated layout designed around recreational ownership. Asking prices currently range from $89,900 to $273,000, with the community record averaging just under $174,000. Rather than a resale neighborhood filled with existing houses, this is a planned waterfront enclave where the setting itself does most of the talking.

Community Highlights

Set on roughly 34 acres with more than 2,800 feet of Lake James shoreline, the development is marketed as a 142-lot community with 113 boat slips planned for future marina use. Water and mountain views define the tone. Two of the current listings advertise waterfront positioning, and all three emphasize long-range views, lake access, or both. One offering pairs a deeded homesite with a 2026 Coldwater park-model design by Clayton, reinforcing the community’s flexibility for buyers considering either a compact lake cottage or a recreational retreat.

That flexibility is one of the neighborhood’s clearest differentiators. Listings describe deeded ownership, RV-oriented use, lake-cottage potential, and park-model options within the same gated community. The result is a product that feels different from conventional inland lot developments: the emphasis here is on access to the lake, boating infrastructure, and view-driven placement rather than on large finished homes with established resale history.
