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.

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. Downstairs, sliding doors lead to the patio, creating an easy connection to the outdoors. The lower level is already positioned for additional living space, guest rooms, or a full expansion. 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. Come write the next chapter.

It carries the character and warmth of its 1965 roots, featuring a spacious kitchen and dining area, large pantry, cozy living room centered around a wood-burning stove, and generous outdoor spaces that make the most of the setting. A covered front sitting porch offers a welcoming place to start the day, while the sunroom opens to the large rear deck. Partially covered, the deck extends the living space and captures year-round, long-range, peek-a-boo mountain views. Since 2019, the property has seen substantial upgrades, including a new metal roof, premium vinyl shake siding, an expansive multi-level deck, updated kitchen and bathroom finishes, a Mitsubishi Hyper Heat three-zone system, new well equipment, whole-house surge protection, and fiber optic internet. A six-person hot tub and a small orchard with apple trees complete the setting. Perhaps the property’s most distinctive feature is the land itself. Offered as three combined parcels totaling more than four acres, the property is gently rolling, open, and partially cleared — an uncommon combination in the mountains.

Across the road, the uphill adjoining parcel features an old barn with appealing potential for restoration, storage, or reclaimed wood. Downhill, the third adjoining parcel is part of the Cullowhee Forest community, connecting to the area’s treasured natural surroundings. Through community lands, owners enjoy deeded use of the West Fork of the Tuckasegee River, along with the trail leading to High Falls and the striking 75-foot Hatcher Falls.

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*
