Once-in-a-Lifetime Lakeside Retreat
Discover the magic of Ripshin Lake with this idyllic, move-in ready cabin nestled on its hidden shoreline. The main level features a soaring great room with a wall of windows that frame views of ancient hemlocks and the over 60-acre private lake. A unique breezeway connects to the master suite, showcasing stunning craftsmanship throughout.
A cozy sleeping loft overlooks the great room, while the lower level offers a flexible space—perfect for a guest bedroom, home office, gym, or game room.
Step outside to where the true magic happens—expansive, well-built decks seemingly float among the trees. Just a few steps away, a charming path winds through mature rhododendrons to a private lakeside dock and boathouse.
This property is part of the Ripshin Lake Corporation, a unique ownership structure fully managed by lake property owners. As an equal shareholder, you'll enjoy access to over 120 acres of shared land, plus the pristine 60+ acre lake.
Bordering the Cherokee National Forest and the Roan Highlands, Ripshin Lake is embraced by the majestic Unaka Ridge. Established nearly 70 years ago, this private enclave offers unmatched opportunities for fishing, boating, hiking, and peaceful reflection amid East Tennessee's natural beauty.
Recent community upgrades include enhancements to the Ripshin Lake Dam, ensuring it meets modern regulatory standards and secures the lake's future for generations to come.
