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.
