    About this House

    Wake up to mountain views over Lake Glenville with a tranquil getaway on over 3 acres of land in Shepherd’s Mountain. Revel in the surrounding scenery and enjoy cool summer breezes at nearly 4,000 feet of elevation. This easy-build site has a driveway already cut in, an expired septic permit on file, available electricity, and community water. Simply supply some home plans to make Western North Carolina life a reality.
    Shepherd’s Mountain is a gated community that offers amenities such as a fun-filled playground, a 10-acre private park with a picnic pavilion, a community building that can be reserved for family gatherings, a basketball half-court, and meticulously maintained paved roads. The glistening lake beyond makes swimming enticing, and the deeded community access is only a quick drive away.
    Explore all the surrounding area has to offer, starting with a 15-minute drive to Lake Glenville’s Pines Recreation Area to launch a kayak, fish from the pier, or relax on the beach. Then continue to Glenville and Cashiers for dining, shopping, and recreation opportunities.

      "Not a lot for kids to do here. Most move away after high school. Otherwise it’s a nice place with beautiful Scenery."

      "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."

      "there aren't any community events that go on here. it's too small and remote. it needs to build up some more"
    • Sportysmh15
      "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."
