Crescent’s guiding vision is founded in creating communities on Lake James that establish:

  • Connections to History
  • Connections to Nature
  • Connections to Community
  • Communities

    1780 is defined by its inspiring mountain views, lake access, and ties to the area’s rich American history. The community is just a short hike or paddle from Camp Lake James, Crescent’s new lake adventure center, and the 3,000–acre expansion of Lake James State Park. Paying homage to the heritage of the Lake James area, 1780 is named for the year the patriot “Overmountain Men” marched through on their way to victory at the Battle of Kings Mountain. To connect residents to the rich history of the area, 1780 will boast more than three and a half miles of pathways on the Overmountain Victory National Historic Trail, accessible throughout the community’s 1,100 acres.

    Looking across the lake at Camp Lake James and 1780, Old Wildlife Club offers views of the Blue Ridge Mountains and an abundance of indigenous flora and fauna – deer, red foxes, wild turkey, loons, wood ducks, ospreys, herons and kingfishers … just to name a few. The community will preserve that reputation.
