Magical! This warm family home captures the feel of a French country house, with all its character and unexpected nooks and crannies. Both engaging gathering spaces and private, contemplative ones coexist in this inviting setting. It’s rare to find so many possibilities in a single home: A formal dinner with friends - or pizza by firelight at the private firepit; a good book read by a fireplace (one of three) - or lounging with friends in the mountain view hot tub; creating a whimsical painting in the loft/studio - or enjoying a relaxing session in the infrared sauna; create a craft cocktail in the distinctive bar - or you can always escape to the self-contained apartment above the garage. All these and more await you here. At nearly 4,ooo feet of elevation, the weather, the spectacular view and landscaping become an integral part of life. Convenient to many of the Club's amenities, this home is located in the highly desirable Turkey Knob section at Trillium Links and Lake Club on Lake Glenville.

Follow the meandering country driveway and arrive at a property that is a hidden chapter of classic Western NC. Two homes rest on 19.11+/- acres of grassy meadows, ponds, streams, and one of the area’s original mountain homesteads, just minutes from Lake Glenville and the area’s finest golf courses. Surrounded by neighboring farms and large estate tracts, it offers a level of privacy and open space that’s increasingly hard to find. Spanning 4 parcels, the property unfolds a private landscape with rolling pasture, 4 fishing ponds, mature trees, and extraordinary stone hardscaping woven throughout. These create a natural backdrop with thoughtful landscaping that invites exploration at every turn. At the heart of the property sits the original 1-bedroom cottage with a loft on 1.95 acres by a picturesque fishing pond. Wrapped in rare wormy chestnut harvested before the American chestnut disappeared from the Southern Appalachians, the cottage preserves an irreplaceable piece of history. From the front rocking chair porch to a porch swing on the back deck, this cottage lets you fully enjoy the adjacent pond and grassy lawn. Rich with warmth and personality, this is a place cherished over generations. The primary home on 6.99 acres has room to grow with 2 bedrooms and 2 baths on the main level, plus a partially finished daylight basement with a bonus room and bathroom, and potential to add another bedroom and bonus room. The main level features a living room with stone fireplace, chef’s kitchen with breakfast bar, dining area, and sliding glass doors opening to the back deck with views of the landscape.

Garden areas, mature landscaping, and extensive infrastructure create a setting suited for long-term possibilities. Outbuildings, like a vintage barn and a charming stone-clad root cellar with potting shed, reflect generations of stewardship and agricultural roots. Additional 4.01-acre & 6.16-acre parcels add flexibility for homesites, multigenerational retreat, farmette, or a private estate. Plus, the remarkable 40 GPM well adds another layer of value. However you envision using this property, the possibilities are as expansive as the land itself. Opportunities with this much history, land, water, and potential rarely change hands.
