Privately set on 5.1 acres just 10 minutes south of the Village of Cashiers, this thoughtfully crafted mountain cottage offers exceptional privacy, quality construction, and direct access to protected wilderness. Surrounded on three sides by permanently conserved lands where no future building can occur, the property provides the rare feeling of living deep within National Forest surroundings while remaining convenient to town. Designed and built by the current owner, a licensed Professional Engineer and Unlimited General Contractor, the home reflects outstanding craftsmanship, durability, and energy efficiency throughout. The floor plan includes two bedrooms, two baths, and a full basement with a single-car garage, generous storage, and room for future expansion. Heart pine floors and a stone wood-burning fireplace add warmth and character, while extensive insulation, Andersen energy-efficient windows, quality HVAC systems, and a deep high-yield well support comfort and efficiency. A fully automatic Generac propane generator offers additional peace of mind. The land provides excellent flexibility with a tractor shed already in place and ample room to add another building if desired. With no deed restrictions and conservation land bordering the property, privacy and natural surroundings are exceptionally well protected. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate proximity to the Ellicott Rock Wilderness, Nantahala National Forest, and the nearby Iron Bridge access on the Chattooga River, a well-known destination for fly fishing. The surrounding Blue Ridge Escarpment Conservation Area is celebrated for its biodiversity, waterfalls, and pristine mountain wilderness. Whether as a private retreat, full-time residence, or outdoor basecamp, this property offers a rare combination of craftsmanship, efficiency, protected surroundings, and natural beauty increasingly hard to find in Cashiers.
