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*

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.
