Hully Gully 1780 House – Short Term Rentable
There are homes that check boxes, and then there are homes that tell a story before you ever reach the front porch. This one, tucked into the heart of the 1780 community at Lake James, does a bit of both and does it with a quiet kind of grace.
Set among the trees with a sense of privacy that feels earned, the home sits near the 1780 community pond and the winding Hully Gully trails. From here, a simple walk carries you down to the lakeshore or over to Camp Lake James, where the day has a habit of unfolding at its own agreeable pace.
Inside, the home reveals itself room by room, each space shaped with intention. The kitchen is generous and well appointed, featuring custom cabinetry, a gas range, wine cooler, granite countertops, and a striking quartzite island that serves as both gathering place and command center. It is the sort of kitchen where meals are prepared, conversations are shared, and memories tend to linger.
The main living area is anchored by wide planked hardwood floors and a stone fireplace with vented gas logs. Custom bookcases and arts and crafts details lend a sense of character that feels both timeless and honest. Just beyond, a screened porch invites you to slow down a notch or two, complete with a cathedral tongue and groove ceiling, wood burning fireplace, and a stone chimney that stands ready for cool Carolina evenings.
Tucked beneath the staircase, a charming reading nook offers a quiet retreat, or a clever extra sleeping space for guests who do not mind waking up in a good story.
The primary suite is spacious and thoughtfully arranged, with hardwood floors leading into a private sunroom that feels like a world of its own. A private deck, walk in closet, and a well designed bath with tile flooring, walk in shower, separate vanities, and custom storage create a space that balances comfort with practicality.
Upstairs, two large bedrooms sit on either side of a cozy media den, connected by a Jack and Jill bath. Built in twin beds add both charm and function, while still leaving room for larger furnishings. Accessible attic space on both sides provides storage that is as useful as it is convenient.
The home welcomes you from either the slate floored front entry or through a breezeway that feels tailor made for lake living. A tiled mudroom offers laundry, pantry, storage, and even a kennel space with dog access, because every good lake house knows its audience. The stone breezeway also features a tiled outdoor shower, perfect for rinsing off after a day on the water, and leads seamlessly to the garage.
Out back, the setting remains peaceful and inviting. A wooded yard surrounds a lounging and exercise platform, while a spacious patio with a hot tub offers a place to unwind under the Carolina sky.
Practical features such as a sealed crawl space and a history of single ownership add confidence to the charm. Though it has never been rented, the property is eligible for short term rentals, offering flexibility and potential for those considering investment opportunities.
A boatslip at Patton Docks is included, making access to Lake James as easy as it ought to be.
Ownership in 1780 also includes membership to Camp Lake James, where residents enjoy a lakefront pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, dining, and a calendar full of community events that make it easy to feel at home.
This property is listed by Keller Williams Unified The Lake James Team.
If you have been searching for a home that blends craftsmanship, comfort, and the easy rhythm of lake life, you may find this one speaks to you in ways that are hard to put into words but easy to understand.
