    What's special

    Rock workCaptivating lake glenville viewsDesigner lighting fixturesVaulted living-kitchen-fireplace-deck areasTimber-chinked wallsRough sawn flooringNew windows and doors
    You will be immediately impressed by this completely renovated "rustic-chalet" style getaway! Thanks to the Owner and Lehotsky & Sons builders, a diamond has been created from what was once a piece of coal. Located in the highly sought after Bright Mountain community on the sunny side of Lake Glenville, all of interiors are tastefully update. Think "new construction" in a vintage A-Frame style dwelling. From the Timber-Chinked walls, to the rough sawn flooring, new windows and doors, all mechanical including HVAC units, structural engineering, encapsulated, with landscape upgrades including boulder walls, parking areas, foundation improvements and a comprehensive drainage plan. Inside, the stone fireplace improvements, rock work, designer lighting fixtures, custom cabinetry and high end appliances in the kitchen. All bathrooms all have designer tile work, and the decking has been retained. Captivating Lake Glenville views accompany your morning coffee or evening cocktail hours with friends and family. In summary, this is a 4BR/5BA masterpiece that lives large but is not overwhelming. It 'flows"...from the driveways to the entry, to the vaulted living-kitchen-fireplace-deck areas, to the upper "honeymoon suite" primary bedroom, to the main floor guest suites, to the lower-level multi purpose living environment. Meanwhile, this property brings the outside in, thanks to the surrounding hills, pastures, lakes, mountains, and streams that bless it. Culowhee and Cashiers are the true blend of living in solitude but being close to everything (just 11 minutes from the Cashiers Crossroads)!
