Looking for a part-time home that you can rent out in the desirable community of 1780?
Discover “The Treehaus” at Lake James — Your Private Escape in the Coveted 1780 Community!
Welcome to a mountain-modern retreat that captures the best of Lake James living. Nestled on 1.14 private acres surrounded by whispering pines, The Treehaus blends rustic charm with modern comfort — ideal as a year-round residence, vacation getaway, or income-producing short-term rental.
Enjoy a deeded boat slip (E-5) for quick access to the lake, and full membership to Camp Lake James, where amenities include pools, a fitness center, pickleball and tennis courts, hot tub, cantina dining, and miles of scenic trails connecting directly from your door.
Inside, soaring two-story ceilings and a cozy wood-burning (gas-log) fireplace create a warm great room perfect for gatherings. Step onto the spacious screened-in deck to entertain or relax with morning coffee amid nature’s peace.
The main-level primary suite offers a private en-suite bath and custom built-in wardrobe. Upstairs, a bedroom loft and guest suite provide comfort and privacy, while the lower level is all about fun — complete with a live-edge wet bar, bonus sleeping area, and full bath. There’s room to sleep up to eight guests, and every inch is designed for effortless enjoyment.
Fully furnished and truly turn-key, this home is ready for you to arrive and start living your lake dream. Roast marshmallows at the firepit, take your ATV to the Camp, or set out for a sunset cruise — The Treehaus makes it all simple. Home also provides an outdoor grill.
Whether you’re seeking a peaceful retreat, a smart investment, or both — The Treehaus at Lake James delivers the ultimate lake lifestyle.
Living and loving the Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina.
