Set along the pristine shores of Lake Glenville, 344 Scenic Lake Lane is a rare offering that effortlessly blends elevated design, timeless mountain charm, and the ease of true lakefront living. This beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 3-bath cottage earned national recognition after being featured in Country Living Magazine—a reflection of its exceptional character, thoughtful craftsmanship, and unmistakable sense of place. Completely reimagined in 2022 under the direction of designer Elly Poston, the home was transformed with a refined yet relaxed aesthetic that feels both sophisticated and welcoming. Every detail has been intentionally curated, from the layered textures and custom finishes to the seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The well-appointed kitchen is outfitted with premium Thermador appliances, including a Thermador oven and refrigerator, reflecting the owners’ commitment to quality and comfort throughout the home. Outside, the property captures the essence of lake living. A private dock invites days spent boating, swimming, fishing, or simply enjoying the peaceful rhythm of the water.

For buyers ready to embrace the lake lifestyle immediately, a pontoon boat is also available under a separate bill of sale, offering a truly turnkey opportunity. Located just 12 minutes from the crossroads of Cashiers, the home provides convenient access to boutique shopping, dining, and the vibrant mountain lifestyle that defines the Cashiers-Highlands Plateau. The surrounding area is rich with hiking trails, waterfalls, and scenic natural beauty, while nearby Norton Falls adds to the magic of the setting—its soothing sounds often echoing throughout Norton Cove. Whether envisioned as a private retreat, a luxury vacation home, or a magazine-worthy escape to share with family and friends, 344 Scenic Lake Lane represents a rare opportunity to own an exceptional piece of lakefront property in one of Western North Carolina’s most treasured destinations.
