"As we clamber up the winding hill, the sensation of awe and gives way, new scenes of beauty and grandeur open upon our ravished visions, and a multitude of emotions swell within our hearts.”
There are no better words to describe the lands that surround Lake James than those above from a member of the patriot militia journaling about the area as he passed through in 1780 on his way to the battle of King’s Mountain … and history.
It is in honor of this event that we named this community 1780. And, it is why we worked with the National Park Service to extend 2.5 miles of new pathways on the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail through the 1,100 acres of the community, putting a linear national park in your back yard. And, the newly expanded Lake James State Park is directly across the street.
Properties for sale in 1780 range in size from 2 to more than 6 acres. All lake-access homesites have a reserved slip in a community dock. All 1780 owners are members of Camp Lake James.
