Description

Where the forest feels alive, and the noise of the world falls away, this 3-acre retreat tucked into the Mill Creek-Yellow Mountain Road corridor offers a rare opportunity to live immersed in nature without sacrificing comfort or convenience. With pond frontage, the property delivers the privacy, setting, and versatility that Plateau buyers actively seek.
The updated three-bedroom, three-bathroom log cabin captures the timeless character of mountain living, with warm wood tones, inviting spaces, and the relaxed comfort buyers expect from a true mountain home. Generous open loft areas, a dedicated office or craft room, and a flexible layout make it equally suited for full-time living or a weekend escape. Large decks extend daily living outdoors, while a separate deck at the pond creates a peaceful spot for morning coffee or evening gatherings.
Set just over 4,000 feet in elevation, the property rests within an extraordinary old-growth forest where towering white pines, native rhododendron, mountain laurel, and sassafras create a lush, layered landscape. Mosses and lichens thrive in the area’s abundant rainfall, adding to the sense of a living ecosystem. Wildlife is part of everyday life here, with songbirds, owls, deer, and seasonal visits from river otters, beaver, and other native species. A dammed creek along the southern edge forms the pond, drawing wildlife and opening the canopy to reveal star-filled skies and glimpses toward Yellow Mountain’s summit.
The grounds are a true highlight: a charming pond, a thoughtfully landscaped yard, an established garden site, and even a chicken coop for those drawn to a more intentional mountain lifestyle. A detached two-car garage with an artist studio/workshop adds rare flexibility for creative pursuits or additional workspace. Nearby trail access leads to the Yellow Mountain Fire Tower, an often-quiet hike rewarded with sweeping long-range views.
Less than 15 minutes from Lake Glenville and an easy drive to both Highlands and Cashiers, you’re ideally positioned to enjoy the best of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau, including boating, hiking, fly-fishing streams, golf, boutique shopping, acclaimed dining, live music, and the essential small-town charm that defines this corner of the mountains — all while returning home to cool summer temperatures, clean mountain air, and the peace of a truly natural setting.

    "There are several choices of schools here. There are active after school choices such as those at local churches and the Boys and Girls Club. There’s a good library and a nice recreation center. Community events are family friendly. It gets very cold here in winter which can result in delayed school openings."

    "Lots of student drivers and cars. They are sometimes reckless and can be dangerous to pets if they are not leashes or watched properly. However, Cullowhee is a beautiful region offering lots of hiking trails , beautiful scenery, and has plenty of room to run for our furry friends! There are also parks and outdoor restaurants that dogs are allowed to visit, but overall Cullowhee is a wonderful place to have dogs. Plus it is full of mountain scenery to see not only wonderful views of the mountain beauty, but of those beautiful pets as well! Cullowhee is most definitely a dog friendly place!"

    "I have lived in the house as a renter. It is a wonderful space. The best place I have ever lived. There is a fire pit next to the creek in front of the property and the neighbors are very nice. The location is very quiet and private. there are only three other houses on the street and this one is at the very end of Timber Wolf Trail with no possibility of a house ever going up on the other side."
