Set along the West Fork of the Tuckasegee River, this 4-acre offering in Cullowhee Forest is within a gated community with fiber-optic connectivity. It captures the essence of a private, wooded mountain setting, immersed in a lush landscape set to a soundtrack of moving water. With nearly 300 feet of river frontage that includes a small island, and a stream that winds through the property, it offers a rare sense of immersion in nature. The property is ideally positioned on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau, minutes from Lake Glenville. The home has been held by one owner and cherished as a family vacation retreat, providing years of quiet escapes and time well spent. The main level features two bedrooms, each with new carpeting and a full bathroom, including a primary suite with a soaking tub. The main living area is anchored by a fireplace and framed by beamed cathedral ceilings, with large windows that bring in natural light and keep the landscape ever-present. A breakfast bar connects the kitchen and dining area, creating an easy flow for everyday living. Extending the living space, a rear, partially screened deck spans the length of the home. With secondary access directly from the primary bedroom, the sound of the river carries through the trees and sets the tone for quiet mornings and relaxed evenings. A central spiral staircase leads to a spacious upper level with a large open loft, a bonus room, a third full bathroom, and flexible space for recreation or guests. A walkout crawl space offers space for storage or a workshop. Outdoors, a trail leads to a screened waterfront gazebo and deck along the river, a natural gathering point where a small waterfall can be heard just across the island. Mature hardwoods and native growth enhance privacy throughout the property, along with a small shed accessible via the driveway for additional storage. Cullowhee Forest also offers shared natural amenities, including 75-foot Hatcher Falls and additional river access leading to popular High Falls, further enhancing the outdoor experience. Despite its sense of seclusion, the property remains well-connected. Asheville Regional Airport is approximately an hour away, and Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport is just under two hours, with the metro areas of Asheville and Greenville within easy reach.
