An extraordinay home in an unforgettable setting. Perched at 4,000 feet in a gated community just seven miles north of Cashiers, this one-of-a-kind architectural retreat captures sweeping Lake Glenville and Smoky Mountain views from an extraordinary 1.74-acre setting. Designed as a private mountain resort, the home pairs dramatic architecture with rare materials, including solid marble craftsmanship throughout and beautifully restored 125-year-old wood floors reclaimed from a South Carolina cotton mill. The chef’s kitchen features a six-burner gas range, custom-painted backsplash, extensive lighting, an oversized marble farmhouse sink, Carrara marble countertops, and hand-carved marble sinks. Marble fireplaces with gas starter create inviting gathering spaces, while electric blinds on the main and upper levels provide effortless comfort, privacy, and light control. The primary suite is a serene private retreat with walkout deck access, wood-insert ceiling detail, French marble fireplace, generous walk-in closet, sauna, bidet toilet, and a sculptural marble slipper tub. An expansive upper loft offers exceptional flexibility as a game room, media room, office, or potential fourth sleeping area. The finished daylight lower level provides two additional bedrooms—or a flexible second living area with Murphy bed—plus a large storage/workroom and a walkout deck from the bedroom. Three HVAC systems, whole-house surge protection, dehumidification, and radon mitigation provide thoughtful, year-round mountain-home comfort. The sauna and hot tub convey, and the home may be offered furnished as shown, creating an effortless turnkey opportunity. Step onto multiple walkout decks and savor cool mountain breezes, ever-changing lake moods, misty morning panoramas, and long-range Smoky Mountain views. With gated Lake Glenville access, exquisite custom finishes, and a setting that feels like a private resort, this is far more than a mountain home—it is an experience. Owner is a North Carolina licensed real estate agent.

If you’re looking for lakefront property with panoramic views of pristine Lake Glenville and the mountains beyond, look no further! Situated on a large, gently sloping lot tucked behind the gates of Summer Hill, this home features a private boat dock accessed via a stairway, both of which were replaced in 2023 with composite material for easy maintenance. This quintessential lake house is incredibly spacious, ideal for large family get-togethers. Inside, the main level features a primary ensuite bedroom and two ensuite guest rooms. In addition to being a convenient layout, the split floor plan affords privacy when friends or family visit. Between the bedrooms, the open floor plan boasts a large eat-in kitchen with an island, a dining room, and a living room featuring a stacked-stone, wood-burning fireplace. A deck with both covered and uncovered areas spans the entire back of the house and offers sweeping views of Lake Glenville, the highest-elevation lake east of the Mississippi River. Kick back, relax, and watch the world go by while cozied up beside another stacked-stone fireplace. On the lower level, there are two additional bonus rooms, two bathrooms, and a large living area for both adults and kids to gather and play ping pong or games, complete puzzles, or watch TV. Another expansive deck spreads across the length of the house. For convenience, laundry rooms are located on both levels.

Hinoki House is a rare architectural offering in the Blue Ridge Mountains, where Japanese-inspired design and natural landscape exist in quiet balance. Set on more than 17 acres within gated Cullowhee Forest, the property offers privacy, riverfrontage, and a level of serenity increasingly difficult to find. A collaboration between the owners and MossCreek Designs, the four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath residence reflects the restraint and simplicity of traditional Asian architecture while embracing the scale and beauty of its mountain setting. Designed as a glass lantern with windows wrapping both levels, the home maximizes light and vertical space with ceilings of 12 feet or higher, expansive open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas, and two main-level bedrooms with two-and-a-half baths. Floor-to-ceiling windows draw the outdoors in, framing views of a private waterfall, cascading water features, deep granite pools, and hundreds of feet of riverfrontage. Douglas fir lodge-pole framing, mulberry and cedar walls and ceilings sourced from the Pacific Northwest, and Brazilian cherry hardwood floors add warmth and craftsmanship throughout. The lower level includes two additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate kitchen, a bonus room, and a laundry area, offering flexibility for guests or extended stays. Wraparound covered decks on both levels extend the living spaces outdoors, overlooking hiking trails, koi ponds, outdoor showers, Japanese gardens, a fire pit, and a dining gazebo — all set against sweeping mountain views. From the gorge to the mountaintop knoll, the landscape feels both expansive and deeply private. The estate includes a 6.37-acre primary lot and an 11.47-acre secondary parcel featuring a nearly level mountaintop knoll, ideal for a second dwelling. Well-loved and carefully maintained, Hinoki House represents a rarely available architectural retreat, where thoughtful design and irreplaceable natural setting converge. Cullowhee Forest provides a scenic private approach to this end-of-the-road property, along with a 75-foot waterfall, High Falls trail access, and fiber-optic internet. Located 25 minutes from Cashiers for shopping, dining, and recreation; 15 minutes from Lake Glenville and two restaurants with live music; approximately 60 miles from Asheville and its regional airport; and within a two- to three-hour drive of Atlanta, Charlotte, and Greenville.
