Quietly tucked away in the sought after Hully Gully section of 1780 on Lake James, this beautifully crafted mountain retreat offers the perfect combination of rustic elegance, modern comfort, and exceptional investment potential. Approved for short term rentals and complete with a deeded boat slip on Dock E Slip 7, this home is ideal as a full time residence, vacation getaway, or income producing property.
Built by Higgins Building Group, the home welcomes you with soaring vaulted tongue and groove ceilings, a stunning floor to ceiling stone fireplace, and an open concept design filled with natural light. The spacious great room flows effortlessly into the kitchen and dining area, creating an inviting gathering space for family and friends. Warm wood finishes, quality craftsmanship, and thoughtful details throughout capture the essence of Lake James living.
The main living area opens to expansive outdoor spaces where you can enjoy peaceful wooded surroundings and seasonal lake views.

The partially finished walk out basement provides additional living space with a wet bar, recreation area, guest accommodations, and plenty of storage, giving everyone room to spread out. Fiber optic internet, a private well, and underground utilities make working remotely or enjoying extended stays easy and convenient.

Spend your days at the community beach, pool, fitness center, pickleball and tennis courts, walking trails, playgrounds, hot tubs, and waterfront gathering areas. Launch your boat from your deeded slip and experience everything Lake James has to offer, all just minutes from the Blue Ridge Mountains, charming downtown Morganton, Marion, and the Pisgah National Forest.
