Description
Nestled within the gated community of Cullowhee Forest, this rare 11.34-acre offering combines two contiguous lots into a private mountain parcel with a stunning on-property waterfall more than 20 feet tall, nearly 500 feet of Coggins Creek flowing through the land, and expansive year-round, long-range views attainable with tree-trimming — the type of offering that is an increasingly uncommon combination on the Highlands–Cashiers Plateau. With a high-yield well in place and underground power, the topography offers a homesite that captures sweeping views, set to a soundtrack of running water and surrounded by lush woodlands.
Cullowhee Forest is known for its generous acreage and low-density planning, with quiet, wooded roads that reinforce its peaceful setting, wrapped in native flora, where local wildlife lazily meanders the land. Owners enjoy deeded access to the West Fork of the Tuckasegee River and the 75-foot Hatcher Falls, providing exceptional opportunities for fishing, exploration, and connection to the outdoors. High-speed fiber-optic internet ensures modern convenience, making the property well-suited for year-round living.
The broader Highlands–Cashiers Plateau delivers cool summer temperatures, abundant waterfalls, hiking and biking trails, trout waters, golf, boutique shopping, and a growing arts and dining scene. Located approximately 25 minutes from either Cashiers or Sylva, the setting offers privacy without isolation. Nearest dining and recreation include The Local, Happ’s Place, Lake Glenville’s Pines Recreation Area, and the Jackson County Aquatic Center, and just down the road are an abundance of additional options to discover.
Year-round access enhances the property’s appeal, with Asheville Regional Airport about 90 minutes away and major hubs including Atlanta, Charlotte, and Greenville within a two- to three-hour drive.
Opportunities that combine acreage, long-range views, and multiple water features within a gated community are increasingly rare. This property offers the scale, setting, and flexibility to create a true mountain retreat or full-time residence in one of Western North Carolina’s most enduring landscapes.
