Property Description

This cozy, move-in-ready mountain cabin offers direct Lake Glenville views, nearby lake access, and peaceful mountain living — all less than 10 minutes from Cashiers and convenient to Highlands. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its classic cabin character, the home is equally suited as a lock-and-leave retreat, full-time residence, or potential rental investment. The main level features the primary bedroom, while upstairs offers a second bedroom and a versatile flex space with a private lake-view deck. A full bathroom on each level adds convenience. Improvements include engineered hardwood flooring, fresh interior paint, window treatments, replaced interior doors and hardware, and updated toilets. Upper-level wood paneling was replaced with sheetrock, and unfinished ceilings were finished with beadboard and sheetrock. Completely rebuilt in spring 2026, the wood-burning fireplace and chimney system features an attractive brick inlay. The renovated kitchen offers soapstone countertops and backsplash, updated cabinetry with brass hardware, stainless steel appliances, and a replaced sink. A custom dining banquette adds storage, and the screened main porch provides an inviting spot to enjoy the views and cool mountain air. Multi-level decks and porches offer abundant outdoor living and lake-view vantage points. The lower deck includes a firepit area, while the flat backyard and level driveway are especially desirable mountain features. A neighboring stream enhances the setting. Drainage improvements were completed along the north side, and exterior wood rot on the siding, decking, and posts was addressed. Additional highlights include a one-car garage with adjacent laundry, covered boat and utility parking, a storage shed, two upper-level mini-splits, rerouted main-level ductwork, crawlspace encapsulation with a dehumidifier, updated interior and exterior lighting, recessed lighting, and a Black Bear Security system with two exterior cameras, plus door and window sensors. Just a quick hop to Happ’s Place and conveniently located near hiking, Cashiers, Highlands, and area attractions, this charming mountain retreat is ready to enjoy. Furnishings are negotiable. With direct Lake Glenville views, extensive improvements, and a wonderfully convenient location, this special mountain retreat will not last long!
