Welcome to The Gretel at 1780—a whimsical retreat designed to be your perfect Happy Place. Timeless architecture and thoughtful design give this home the character and charm of your dream mountain cottage. The Gretel offers a harmonious blend of comfort, privacy, and natural beauty. Featuring a spacious main-level primary suite and an open-concept living area that flows seamlessly into a full-length screened porch—perfect for soaking in the peaceful, wooded views. Whether you're enjoying a solo escape or gathering with loved ones, there's ample space to unwind with two cozy upstairs bedrooms and a versatile game or media room. Rustic details like stone accents, feather-board siding, and charming flower boxes add a touch of Appalachian elegance. A rare carport—ready to be transformed into a fully enclosed garage—adds to the property’s unique appeal. Plus, you’ll enjoy access to a nearby deeded boatslip and membership to Camp Lake James, making your lakeside lifestyle complete.
