Welcome to SouthPointe!

SouthPointe is a community of nearly 300 homesites located on pristine Lake James and nestled in the rolling foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in western North Carolina. The quality of life includes small town friendliness, a true sense of community, a superb climate for year-round activities, an abundance of nearby state and national parks, and the cultural richness available in larger metropolitan areas. SouthPointe has more lakefront footage than any other development in Burke County, and we are proud that every home owner has easy access to the lake either by a dock on their waterfront property or by a deeded boat slip at the community docks.

We are a 90-minute drive to Charlotte, North Carolina and 45 minutes from Asheville, North Carolina. Convenience and charm are offered by our small town, Morganton, with about 18,000 residents.

Boat, water ski or fish in the lake's cool mountain waters or take a walk on the wild side and enjoy the beautiful forest wildflowers and abundant wildlife along a variety of scenic park trails. 

 

Of course, you just may find that your favorite thing to do at Lake James is simply relaxing.
