For those who believe a home should have a story, this one has plenty to tell. Tucked into 1.59 private acres in Strawberry Hill, this extraordinary three-level retreat is a true labor of love, handcrafted with reclaimed materials, locally milled timber, mixed metals, and unexpected architectural details. Part treehouse, part mountain cabin, with a little steampunk and bohemian spirit thrown in, there is simply nothing cookie-cutter about it. The home overlooks Mill Creek Falls on Lake Glenville and feels beautifully tucked into the mountainside. White pine harvested from Strawberry Hill was locally milled for deck supports and beams, while reclaimed timber posts, cypress, Ipe decking, industrial fixtures, antique trim sourced from international travels, and even wood from a 1910 schooner give the home remarkable texture and character. Reclaimed windows, mixed metals, exposed steel and wood, a spiral staircase, and a clever pulley system for hanging plants continue the collected, handcrafted aesthetic. Inside, a wood-burning stove and radiant floor heat make this an inviting retreat in cooler weather. The two-bedroom layout includes a unique primary bedroom on the second floor with an additional loft accessed by ladder above the bedroom. Also, an additional bedroom and half bath off the kitchen. Outside, an open-air shower and a hot-and-cold soaking tub are built directly into the rock, creating a wonderfully unexpected place to unwind beneath the trees. The substantial construction includes 4x8 and 4x4 timbers and a structure pinned into the mountainside with Teflon-coated rebar. There is also room to expand for someone inspired to continue the vision. Strawberry Hill is less than 10 minutes from public access to Lake Glenville and offers community water, activity courts, deeded swimming access to the lake, boat storage, and plans for a future gated entrance. Private, creative, and unapologetically original, this is a true mountain hideaway for hikers, adventurers, artists, and anyone who would rather own something with soul than something ordinary. An AWD vehicle is required for driveway access.

From the Timber-Chinked walls, to the rough sawn flooring, new windows and doors, all mechanical including HVAC units, structural engineering, encapsulated, with landscape upgrades including boulder walls, parking areas, foundation improvements and a comprehensive drainage plan. Inside, the stone fireplace improvements, rock work, designer lighting fixtures, custom cabinetry and high end appliances in the kitchen. All bathrooms all have designer tile work, and the decking has been retained. Captivating Lake Glenville views accompany your morning coffee or evening cocktail hours with friends and family. In summary, this is a 4BR/5BA masterpiece that lives large but is not overwhelming. It 'flows"...from the driveways to the entry, to the vaulted living-kitchen-fireplace-deck areas, to the upper "honeymoon suite" primary bedroom, to the main floor guest suites, to the lower-level multi purpose living environment. Meanwhile, this property brings the outside in, thanks to the surrounding hills, pastures, lakes, mountains, and streams that bless it. Culowhee and Cashiers are the true blend of living in solitude but being close to everything (just 11 minutes from the Cashiers Crossroads)!
