Opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. One of the last large lakefront parcels on Wolf Creek Lake, this peninsula property extends into the water, offering approximately 1,400 feet of lake frontage and unobstructed views across the lake and mountains in three directions. Wolf Lake is a low-density, privately intimate body of water — made more so by the approximately 12,000 acres of U.S. Forest Service land that borders much of its shoreline. The result is a setting defined by quiet, wildlife, and an absence of the density that characterizes most lakefront real estate. Bald eagles, otters, wild turkey, and deer move through the surrounding land; the lake holds trout, walleye, crappie, bluegill, and both smallmouth and largemouth bass. The parcel carries no community restrictions, allowing a buyer to build to their own vision. Two permitted boat docks are in place. A Nantahala Power easement exists for access roads related to riparian rights. A property of this scale, on a lake of this character, with this orientation — three-directional water and mountain views from a true peninsula — has no ready comparison.

Welcome to The Fox Estate: A Living Masterpiece of Mountain Modernism. Commissioned in 1974 and pristine following a multi-year restoration overseen by architect James Howard Fox, The Fox Estate is an uncompromised landmark of Mountain Modernism. Set across 4.9 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains, it reflects Fox’s vision of architecture, landscape, art, and life in harmony. Its defining feature is a daring engineering gesture virtually impossible to reproduce today: the residence spans the private, spring-fed waters of Asbury Lake. A natural creek flows beneath the structure before feeding the half-acre, trout-stocked lake, making water, shifting light, stone, forest, and sky part of the home itself. Offered turnkey, the estate remains indivisible from its history. Included is a pristine twenty-four-piece furniture collection custom designed by Fox, two monumental sculptural gates reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West, and original hand-drawn 1974 conceptual renderings—together forming an irreplaceable intrinsic art asset. Inside, Fox’s design language unfolds through walls of glass, stacked stone, vaulted ceilings, indoor-outdoor geometry, and a monolithic granite boulder fireplace. The culinary space features quartzite countertops, expansive windows, and an intimate snug anchored by a Scandinavian wood-burning stove. The main residence includes a vaulted great room, three bedroom en-suites, full bar, dining room, office and family room. The primary en-suite is a private sanctuary offering a morning kitchen, more than seventy linear feet of cedar-lined closets, and a private stone patio overlooking the lake. Step from the great room onto seventy feet of deck floating above the water, while a hidden dock beneath the residence provides access for swimming, rowing, and trout fishing. Updated infrastructure throughout the home ensures modern comfort and efficiency. An adjoining parcel includes a fully renovated, two-bedroom guest cottage with Whiteside Mountain views, a sculptural gated entrance and drive, two fireplaces, and a kitchen centered around a handcrafted zinc island—ideal for multigenerational living or guests. More than a luxury residence, The Fox Estate is an immersive work of architecture, a historically significant mountain landmark, and one of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau’s most original estates.

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*

One of just nine homes on Fairfield Lake, this rare lakefront property commands an extraordinary position on one of the Plateau's most storied and sought-after waters — complete with a private boat dock and an 18-foot pontoon boat. Majestic rock columns anchored by exquisite English gates open to a meandering paved driveway, with ample parking for family and guests. The soothing sound of a recirculating waterfall greets at the front porch, and inside, the grandeur of soaring vaulted ceilings sets the tone for an open floor plan that connects the living room, kitchen, and dining area with ease. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light and frame sweeping views of Bald Rock — a vantage point exclusive to this lakefront property. The main level offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms, two fireplaces, a dedicated office or TV room, and a generous deck spanning the full width of the home — well-suited for outdoor entertaining and taking in the views. The lower level has been thoughtfully completed to function as a fully independent living space, featuring a den with a fireplace, an additional bedroom with a full bathroom, two bonus rooms with two full bathrooms, and a finished kitchen — creating a true lock-out arrangement. A second full-width deck opens directly to the gentle backyard and the lake beyond. The finished garage is outfitted with cabinetry lining both sides, a workbench, and 24 under-counter drawers — a well-organized and functional space rarely found at this level. Additional features include an encapsulated crawl space and individual room temperature controls throughout. Two custom Ironwood bunk sets and a queen bedroom suite, each handcrafted by local artisans, convey with the sale. Outside, an included 18-foot pontoon boat is docked at the private boat dock, with a lakefront gazebo completing the waterfront setting. A trail encircling the lake offers an opportunity to experience the full beauty of Fairfield Lake and its surroundings. Property ownership includes access to Sapphire Valley Resort amenities, featuring golf, tennis, pickleball, indoor and outdoor pools, a fitness center, Lake Fairfield, and a ski and tubing slope. The area is also home to two private country clubs. Nearby, Cashiers and Highlands offer dining, shopping, and year-round culture. Enchanting in every sense, this is one of those unique properties where setting, character, and exclusivity converge — a true once-in-a-generation opportunity.
