For those who believe a home should have a story, this one has plenty to tell. Tucked into 1.59 private acres in Strawberry Hill, this extraordinary three-level retreat is a true labor of love, handcrafted with reclaimed materials, locally milled timber, mixed metals, and unexpected architectural details. Part treehouse, part mountain cabin, with a little steampunk and bohemian spirit thrown in, there is simply nothing cookie-cutter about it. The home overlooks Mill Creek Falls on Lake Glenville and feels beautifully tucked into the mountainside. White pine harvested from Strawberry Hill was locally milled for deck supports and beams, while reclaimed timber posts, cypress, Ipe decking, industrial fixtures, antique trim sourced from international travels, and even wood from a 1910 schooner give the home remarkable texture and character. Reclaimed windows, mixed metals, exposed steel and wood, a spiral staircase, and a clever pulley system for hanging plants continue the collected, handcrafted aesthetic. Inside, a wood-burning stove and radiant floor heat make this an inviting retreat in cooler weather. The two-bedroom layout includes a unique primary bedroom on the second floor with an additional loft accessed by ladder above the bedroom. Also, an additional bedroom and half bath off the kitchen. Outside, an open-air shower and a hot-and-cold soaking tub are built directly into the rock, creating a wonderfully unexpected place to unwind beneath the trees. The substantial construction includes 4x8 and 4x4 timbers and a structure pinned into the mountainside with Teflon-coated rebar. There is also room to expand for someone inspired to continue the vision. Strawberry Hill is less than 10 minutes from public access to Lake Glenville and offers community water, activity courts, deeded swimming access to the lake, boat storage, and plans for a future gated entrance. Private, creative, and unapologetically original, this is a true mountain hideaway for hikers, adventurers, artists, and anyone who would rather own something with soul than something ordinary. An AWD vehicle is required for driveway access.

Below, stone steps lead from the main porch to a covered outdoor living area that the owners added. This comfortable retreat is certain to become a favorite gathering place for morning coffee, evening cocktails, and quiet afternoons surrounded by nature. Inside, every square foot has been considered. Cathedral ceilings, engineered oak floors, quartz counters, aluminum-clad Ply Gem windows, and Mitsubishi mini-splits. The result is elegant and relaxed at once, refined while completely at home in the mountains. The lower level has been leveled and poured with a concrete floor, and currently serves as a mudroom and laundry. It is a perfect place to clean and store equipment for hiking, fishing, and other outdoor pursuits. Not finished space, though the groundwork is in place, should a future owner want to make it into something more. The drive is built on a TruGrid system with a stone border and a flagstone apron where it meets the pavement. Fresh landscaping throughout, with paved roads, underground utilities, and fiber.

A Jeffrey Dungan-designed two-level Low Country XL at The Preserve at Whiteside Cliffs, a thoughtfully curated designer cottage community between Highlands and Cashiers. This home lets you embrace outdoor living in any season. Two full levels of deck wrap the house, with Whiteside rising across the valley. Above, a wide main deck with room to dine and a fire pit to gather around. Below, a covered deck off the lower level and a hot tub deck beyond it. The current owners have improved on the original design with care. A covered, screened porch extends from the primary bedroom, framed to follow the existing roofline as though it were always intended. It is a private space off the bedroom, open to the mountain air and out of the weather. A bump-out off the main level adds a mudroom and laundry — which the original plan never had — with a built-in bench, hooks, and shelving, plus an interior stairwell leading down to the covered lower deck. Downstairs is where this one separates itself. The lower-level living room is the largest room in the house, with French doors onto its own covered deck. Alongside it are a bedroom, a full bathroom, a private entry, and a kitchen with a Wolf induction cooktop, a vented hood, a stainless farmhouse sink, a dishwasher, walnut counters, and a full-size refrigerator. Open the house up and use every bit of it, or let guests or a rental arrangement have their own space entirely. The separation between levels gives the next owner real options. Cathedral ceilings with exposed beams over seven-inch engineered oak floors, and windows on three sides of the main living space. Quartz counters, aluminum-clad Ply Gem windows, Mitsubishi mini-splits, and a whole-home generator. Parking is generous by the standards of the community, with a dedicated space directly serving the lower level. The drive is built on a TruGrid system finished in brown river stone, with a stone apron where it meets the pavement and a stone border around the perimeter. Paved roads, underground utilities, and fiber throughout.
