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.

On the shores of Lake Glenville, Deer Run Cottage emerges as poetry written in timber and native stone, a love letter to the landscape that holds it. The main level unfolds with the kitchen, dining room, and living room merging against the backdrop of mountain and lake views. Through floor-to-ceiling windows, the lake becomes a piece of art that changes with every hour and every season. On the main floor, the primary bedroom with its fireplace—feels like sleeping inside a painting. Wake to water, sleep to stars, dream to the gentle percussion of waves finding the shore. Three distinct outdoor spaces grace the main level, each with its own personality. The covered porch whispers of long dinners and longer conversations. The open deck calls to sun worshippers and star gazers. The screened sleeping porch off the primary suite promises afternoon naps. The upper level holds two rooms: one with a queen bed and a bathroom with a clawfoot tub, and a bonus room with its window seat. The lower level bedrooms open like jewelry boxes onto the lakefront porch. Four bedrooms, two flex rooms, and five and half baths allow space for family and friends to gather or scatter as mood and moment demand. Numbers cannot capture the real equation: how a building becomes a feeling, how architecture becomes memory, how a cottage becomes the place dreams are made of. From the private dock, to the sandy beach, or separate stone steps to a wading rock perfect for children or dogs, cool summer afternoons come alive with the thrill of lake adventures. Whether you're paddling across the pristine waters, taking the boat out for a sunset cruise, or simply diving into the crystal-clear depths, Lake Glenville becomes your personal playground at this elevated paradise. Deer Run Cottage understands human nature: we need both connection and solitude, grandeur and intimacy, civilization and wilderness. Here, morning coffee tastes better, because gazing at the view has replaced screen time. Sleep comes easier because the water sings lullabies through open windows. In a world of manufactured experiences, Deer Run Cottage offers something increasingly rare: authenticity. Luxury that whispers rather than shouts, elegance that simply exists rather than poses, beauty that rewards attention rather than demands it. Some places you visit. Some places visit you back. Deer Run Cottage belongs to the latter. Come see for yourself! *Broker is relation to Seller*

Where the forest feels alive, and the noise of the world falls away, this 3-acre retreat tucked into the Mill Creek-Yellow Mountain Road corridor offers a rare opportunity to live immersed in nature without sacrificing comfort or convenience. With pond frontage, the property delivers the privacy, setting, and versatility that Plateau buyers actively seek. The updated three-bedroom, three-bathroom log cabin captures the timeless character of mountain living, with warm wood tones, inviting spaces, and the relaxed comfort buyers expect from a true mountain home. Generous open loft areas, a dedicated office or craft room, and a flexible layout make it equally suited for full-time living or a weekend escape. Large decks extend daily living outdoors, while a separate deck at the pond creates a peaceful spot for morning coffee or evening gatherings. Set just over 4,000 feet in elevation, the property rests within an extraordinary old-growth forest where towering white pines, native rhododendron, mountain laurel, and sassafras create a lush, layered landscape. Mosses and lichens thrive in the area’s abundant rainfall, adding to the sense of a living ecosystem. Wildlife is part of everyday life here, with songbirds, owls, deer, and seasonal visits from river otters, beaver, and other native species. A dammed creek along the southern edge forms the pond, drawing wildlife and opening the canopy to reveal star-filled skies and glimpses toward Yellow Mountain’s summit. The grounds are a true highlight: a charming pond, a thoughtfully landscaped yard, an established garden site, and even a chicken coop for those drawn to a more intentional mountain lifestyle. A detached two-car garage with an artist studio/workshop adds rare flexibility for creative pursuits or additional workspace. Nearby trail access leads to the Yellow Mountain Fire Tower, an often-quiet hike rewarded with sweeping long-range views. Less than 15 minutes from Lake Glenville and an easy drive to both Highlands and Cashiers, you’re ideally positioned to enjoy the best of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau, including boating, hiking, fly-fishing streams, golf, boutique shopping, acclaimed dining, live music, and the essential small-town charm that defines this corner of the mountains — all while returning home to cool summer temperatures, clean mountain air, and the peace of a truly natural setting.
