A Mountain Cottage Built to Last — On 5.1 Acres Bordered by Conserved Wilderness

Surrounded by Conservation Land, Minutes from Town

Privately set on 5.1 acres just 10 minutes south of the Village of Cashiers, this thoughtfully crafted mountain cottage offers exceptional privacy, quality construction, and direct access to protected wilderness.

It's the kind of setting that feels remote, yet everything you need in Cashiers is a short drive away.

Surrounded on three sides by permanently conserved lands where no future building can occur, the property provides the rare feeling of living deep within National Forest surroundings while remaining convenient to town.

Professional-Grade Craftsmanship from the Ground Up

Designed and built by the current owner — a licensed Professional Engineer and Unlimited General Contractor — the home reflects outstanding craftsmanship, durability, and energy efficiency throughout.

The floor plan includes two bedrooms, two baths, and a full basement with a single-car garage, generous storage, and room for future expansion.

Whether you're looking for a private retreat or a full-time residence, the layout delivers everything you need with room to grow.

Character and Comfort, Built to Perform

Heart pine floors and a stone wood-burning fireplace add warmth and character, while extensive insulation, Andersen energy-efficient windows, quality HVAC systems, and a deep high-yield well support comfort and efficiency.

The details here speak to how the home was built — not just to look good, but to perform well for the long haul.

A fully automatic Generac propane generator offers additional peace of mind.

Room to Grow, Freedom to Build

The land provides excellent flexibility — with a tractor shed already in place and ample room to add another building if desired.

5.1 Acres with No Deed Restrictions

With no deed restrictions and conservation land bordering the property, privacy and natural surroundings are exceptionally well protected.

That combination — acreage, no restrictions, and permanent conservation buffers — is increasingly rare on the Plateau.

At the Doorstep of the Blue Ridge Escarpment

Fly Fishing, Waterfalls, and Wilderness Access

Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate proximity to the Ellicott Rock Wilderness, Nantahala National Forest, and the nearby Iron Bridge access on the Chattooga River — a well-known destination for fly fishing.

The surrounding Blue Ridge Escarpment Conservation Area is celebrated for its biodiversity, waterfalls, and pristine mountain wilderness.

A Rare Find on the Plateau

Craftsmanship, Privacy, and Protected Surroundings — All in One

Whether as a private retreat, full-time residence, or outdoor basecamp, this property offers a rare combination of craftsmanship, efficiency, protected surroundings, and natural beauty increasingly hard to find in Cashiers.
