An exceptional lakefront opportunity just 3 minutes from the Cashiers crossroads at Hwy 107 and Hwy 64. Perfectly positioned on historic Valley Road, this renovated cottage offers the rare combination of walkability, mountain views, and direct proximity to everything Cashiers has to offer. Overlooking Cashiers Lake with stunning views toward Whiteside Mtn, the home is filled with natural light from a wall of windows that opens to a spacious porch and flat, usable yard—ideal for outdoor entertaining, recreation, and enjoying the lakefront. The yard is partially fenced, providing a defined lawn area while maintaining an open connection to the water’s edge. Inside, the bright, modern interior features crisp white finishes complemented by rich wood beams, creating a warm yet elevated mountain retreat.
Outdoor living features a screened pavilion, a covered pergola ideal for an outdoor kitchen, and a newer hot tub—perfect for unwinding and letting the stress of daily life fade away in your own private mountain escape. Two fireplaces—one indoors and one in the outdoor living area—create inviting spaces to gather year-round. Afternoons here feel almost cinematic, as the changing light reflects across the lake and mountains, leading into unforgettable sunsets, while each season brings its own distinct beauty. The home offers two bedrooms on the main level, while the current owners utilize the upstairs loft as a primary suite—allowing flexibility for guest accommodations, a home office, creative space, or whatever suits your needs.
With no rental restrictions, this property presents an outstanding opportunity as a high-demand vacation rental, second home, or full-time residence.
Enjoy it exactly as it is—a beautifully finished, move-in ready retreat—or take advantage of the additional space to the left of the home to expand and reimagine it into a larger custom mountain estate.
Walkable to the Cashiers crossroads, restaurants, shopping, and the Village Green, this location offers a lifestyle that’s hard to match. Imagine enjoying festivals, concerts, and local events just minutes from your door—no driving, no parking, just an easy stroll home at the end of the evening.
Located just across from the new Cashiers Lake mixed-use development, this property combines immediate enjoyment with long-term potential.
Lakefront, in-town convenience, flexibility, and future upside—this is the kind of opportunity that doesn’t come along often.
