A living room built for winter evenings
Cross the threshold and an open floor plan welcomes you, anchored by rich wood accents and natural light. The living room is made for quiet winter evenings gathered around the fireplace, flanked by custom built-in bookshelves and framed by vaulted ceilings with exposed beams.
The home has two comfortable bedrooms, a bonus room, and one and a half baths. The full bath is a private, spa-like escape with warm wood ceilings and a garden soaking tub for unwinding after a day in the woods.
A one-of-a-kind wood-burning brick oven
The kitchen is the heart of the home and shows its rustic character. Stone flooring grounds the space and draws the eye to a one-of-a-kind wood-burning brick stove and oven, a nod to traditional mountain living. A custom brick island centers the room, and a gas cooktop, microwave, dishwasher and double oven keep it practical for everyday cooking.
A workshop, a carport and room to work
The property extends well beyond the main house. A dedicated workshop outbuilding with power and water is ready for a craftsman, artist or hobbyist, and a two-space carport keeps vehicles out of the mountain weather. A backup generator keeps the lights on when winter storms roll through the high country, and covered and wrap-around decks invite you to sit back and breathe in the crisp mountain air.

13 wooded acres that roll gently
The land deserves a closer look. Rather than the steep, unusable slopes so common at this elevation, much of the acreage rolls gently, opening up real possibility for a guest cottage, a second homesite, a barn, or whatever the next chapter calls for. Room to grow is rare alongside this much privacy, and here you have both.
Between Lake Glenville and the village of Cashiers
The property feels secluded but stays connected to the area's best amenities. Glenville is celebrated for Lake Glenville, the highest-elevation lake east of the Mississippi River, with boating, fishing and waterfalls along its forested shoreline. A short, scenic drive away, Cashiers offers boutique shopping, farm-to-table dining and community events centered on the Village Green.
