Property Description

Set on more than 2 acres on the Lake Glenville side of Cullowhee, this distinctive five-bedroom, five-bathroom mountain home embraces the relaxed rhythm of Western North Carolina living, with phenomenal long-range views across rolling mountains, open pasture, and shimmering waters. The setting is peaceful and naturally beautiful, while the location offers easy access to Cullowhee and Glenville, along with the shops, dining, recreation, and amenities of Cashiers and Highlands. Inside, the home has the warmth and character of a classic timber-framed mountain retreat, with an open-concept main level featuring beamed cathedral ceilings, rich wood interiors, and a grand stone, wood-burning fireplace. Two ensuite bedrooms are located on the main level, each with access to covered portions of the deck and the expansive views beyond. The lower level houses two additional ensuite bedrooms, along with a wet bar, and a generous family room that opens to another deck — an inviting space for movie nights, game days, or relaxed gatherings. A covered, elevated walkway connects the main house to a spacious apartment above the two-car garage and workshop, complete with an open floor plan, a kitchenette, a wood-burning fireplace, and a covered, screened deck overlooking the same exceptional mountain and lake views. A spiral staircase climbs to a cozy loft, creating a versatile space for extended-stay guests, a caretaker, home office, overflow sleeping quarters, or a private retreat. The apartment’s flexibility also adds appeal for those considering the property as a vacation rental. Outside, the naturally landscaped grounds invite you to settle into mountain life, with a circular driveway, a flowing water feature, a fenced dog run, a putting green, and a charming gazebo-style deck. With generous accommodations and remarkable views, this is a unique opportunity to create your own mountain retreat in Western North Carolina or explore investment potential. Jackson County Regional Airport is a short drive away, Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport is just under two hours, and Charlotte and Atlanta are both reachable by car within a few hours — making it an easy escape for cool mountain air, outdoor adventure, and time well spent.
