Old Wildlife Club Homes for Sale

Community Highlights

Old Wildlife Club is one of the more expansive Lake James addresses, where wooded acreage, deeded boat access, and Camp Lake James membership shape the community identity. The listing history spans custom waterfront homes above $4 million, newly built mountain houses around $1 million, and homesites from the high $200,000s into seven figures, creating a market centered on privacy, water access, and build-ready land rather than dense neighborhood turnover.

Homes and homesites alike lean into the terrain. Closed sales repeatedly describe 2- to 6-acre parcels, stabilized shoreline, private docks or deeded boat slips, and building envelopes that preserve long views toward Lake James, Shortoff Mountain, and Dobsons Knob. Conservation areas appear throughout the community, and the strongest street pricing sits along Turtle Head Drive and Old Wildlife Club Drive, where waterfront orientation and larger tracts push average closed pricing well above the overall community average.

Amenities & Lifestyle

Camp Lake James is the shared anchor. Residents regularly highlight the lakefront pool, fitness center, pickleball and tennis courts, social hall or clubhouse space, dining options, waterfront bar, amphitheater, and trail network. Boating is central to daily use here: many properties include deeded slips, several waterfront tracts are already docked or dockable, and a number of remarks call out quick golf-cart or UTV access to slips and shoreline.

The built homes tend to read as custom mountain-lake residences rather than production plans. Stone fireplaces, screened porches, covered decks, wet bars, vaulted gathering rooms, and main-level primary suites appear often, with construction dates running from 2008 through 2025. Exterior materials are mixed, with stone, wood, log, and siding details appearing most often.
