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.
