    Awaken a sense of wonder — build a dream retreat on Buck Knob Island, a rare hideaway in the shimmering waters of Lake Glenville. Situated in the mountains of Western North Carolina, this property offers the potential for a sanctuary embraced by nature, including a pristine lake and towering pines, and a unique island life. Accessible only by boat and blissfully free of cars, this secluded enclave offers a timeless luxury rooted in simplicity and serenity. With less than 20 homesites, Buck Knob Island fosters a close-knit community where neighbors become friends, and life moves at a gentler pace — private yet deeply connected. A shared dock provides easy access to the mainland and a space for lakeside gatherings while an on-site caretaker maintains the island’s natural beauty and offers peace of mind year-round. This property, tucked away among mountain laurel, rhododendron, and old-growth hardwoods, brings with it the rare chance to design a home that reflects a personalized vision. Carefully positioned to preserve the views, it boasts glimpses of the lake and sweeping vistas of the surrounding mountainsides. At over 3,500 feet in elevation, Lake Glenville is the highest lake east of the Mississippi — offering crisp air, clear waters, and a cool summer climate. Wildflowers brighten the landscape in spring and summer and in fall, the forest blazes with color. A permit is in place to build your own private dock to enjoy magical evenings — golden sunsets bathe the lake in warm light, and as darkness falls, the night sky reveals its stars in quiet brilliance. Set in a temperate rainforest, the surrounding Plateau region stays lush and green all summer — ideal for lifestyles that embrace outdoor adventure and the quiet grandeur of the mountains. Just 20 minutes away, Cashiers blends small-town charm with upscale dining and boutique shopping. Though Buck Knob Island feels a world apart, it remains within easy reach of Atlanta, Charlotte, Asheville, and Greenville — making it both an escape and a home base.
