A classic High Hampton cottage in one of the community's original and most convenient locations, minutes from the clubhouse and less than five minutes from the stoplight in Cashiers. A gravel drive winds through rhododendron and tall hardwoods to 1.93 acres, with a wide, level lawn around the home and woods for privacy. Inside, knotty pine walls, wood floors, and a beamed tongue-and-groove ceiling with skylights give the great room its warmth. A wood-burning stone fireplace with a raised hearth anchors the living and dining areas, and French doors open to a large deck overlooking the yard. The kitchen keeps the cottage's original character, with knotty pine cabinetry, butcher-block counters, a large pantry cabinet, and a door out to the covered carport. The single-level split plan puts the primary bedroom and its private bath on one side. The two guest bedrooms are on the other and share a connecting bath. Windows throughout look out into the forest. There's room to add a guest home, or to build your primary residence and keep this cottage as a guesthouse. Purchase makes the buyer eligible for High Hampton membership, with golf, racquet sports, outdoor recreation, dining, and a full calendar of member events in one of Cashiers' most lasting club communities.

Morning coffee to the sound of the river, adventure waiting just outside the door, this is the rhythm of life on the Tuckasegee. This Webster home sits directly above the Tuckasegee, one of Western North Carolina's storied waterways. The Tuck, as locals know it, flows through the heart of Jackson County, cold and clear, drawing fly fishermen, kayakers and tubers from across the region. Native and stocked trout hold in its riffles year-round. Great blue herons work the shallows. In fall, the corridor of hardwoods along the banks turns the river into something almost unreasonable. You don't have to drive, it is outside your door. An abundance of windows and a sweeping screened upper porch keep the river in view whether you're inside or out. Cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, an open split floor plan, and stainless appliances give the main level a clean, livable feel. A fully independent lower-level apartment with its entrance and private porch handles guests, family, or income potential without anyone sacrificing privacy. Fruit trees, solar panel and custom built-in closet shelving round out a property that's as intentional as the lifestyle it supports. Webster sits in the quiet center of Jackson County, just minutes from the bookshops, breweries and farmers market energy of downtown Sylva, and a short drive to Cullowhee and Western Carolina University. You're connected to everything that makes this corner of the mountains worth staying in, without being in the middle of it.
