East Shores Homes for Sale

East Shores delivers the Lake James formula many buyers want most: dependable boat access, broad water-and-mountain scenery, and homesites that remain notably generous for a private lake community. Set along the southeast shore of the lake, the neighborhood mixes waterfront parcels with interior homes that often still include deeded slips, giving the community a stronger boating identity than a typical shoreline subdivision.

Community Highlights

Homes in East Shores were built from 1991 through 2018, and the architecture leans toward traditional lake houses with a mix of Craftsman, Cape Cod, log, and custom designs. Finished basements, two-car garages, fireplaces, vaulted ceilings, and large decks or screened porches appear again and again, reflecting a housing stock designed around long views and indoor-outdoor living. Brick is present in the neighborhood, but exterior materials are mixed overall, with siding, brick, and occasional log construction all represented in current and past marketing.

The pricing spread is wide because East Shores includes both buildable lots and established homes. Recent closings ranged from waterfront lots around $95,000 to lakefront homes above $1.9 million, while the communitywide average price sits near $469,000. Waterfront carries a clear premium here: closed waterfront homes averaged about $680,000 versus roughly $472,000 for non-waterfront homes, and higher-priced streets such as Ashton Court sit well above the community''s overall closed-home average.
