Butternut Cottage is a rare offering on Lake Sequoyah. The cottage is a masterfully reimagined historic residence where timeless mountain craftsmanship meets refined modern living. Originally built in 1940 and meticulously renovated in 2020, this home preserves its authentic soul while elevating every detail for today’s luxury lifestyle. From the moment you enter, the home reveals its character through extensive use of reclaimed wormy chestnut, thoughtfully integrated throughout the interior. Custom cabinetry in the downstairs kitchen and secondary bathrooms showcases this storied wood, preserving the warmth and patina of the original structure while giving it new life in a sophisticated, curated design. A striking live-edge staircase crafted from butternut wood serves as both architectural centerpiece and sculptural art piece, setting the tone for a residence defined by organic elegance and craftsmanship. Throughout the home, four wood-burning fireplaces create inviting focal points, offering warmth and ambiance across multiple living spaces. Designed to dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, the home features a seamless flow to expansive outdoor living areas where nature becomes an extension of daily life. The setting is enhanced by a beautifully terraced and landscaped yard, thoughtfully planted with mature apple and pear trees, blueberry bushes, and an established perennial garden that provide color and texture throughout the seasons. Outdoor living is elevated by two private docks, offering direct access to Lake Sequoyah—perfect for paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing, or simply enjoying quiet mornings on the water. The lakefront lifestyle is peaceful, private, and deeply connected to the surrounding natural beauty. Butternut Cottage is more than a home—it is a legacy property where history, design, and landscape converge. Every detail has been intentionally preserved or elevated, resulting in a residence that feels both grounded in heritage and unmistakably refined. A truly unique opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind mountain lake retreat where craftsmanship and nature exist in perfect harmony.
