45 Big Terrapin Trace, Cashiers, NC 28717

This is not a dream! This property really exists! Check out the absolutely idyllic setting with lush landscaping, terraced gardens, private pond, walking trails and mountain views "to write home about" on almost 10 acres. The package is completed by a charming, current and well maintained cottage offered with comfy upscale furnishings. Enter the home from the covered walkway which spans gardens and offers a view of the small waterfall and pond. Lovely wood floors await inside, as does a bank of windows instantly drawing you to the enormous Whiteside Mountain view. The spacious kitchen has a tranquil garden view from large windows at the sink. There is a pretty stone two-sided fireplace that opens into the kitchen and the great room. All the major rooms of the home have gorgeous garden and/or mountain views. Live all on one level or enjoy the bonus space below, which could be an office, den, bunk room or workout area.. The bonus room has a full bath and is accessed by deck and stairs. Time on this property will offer the sounds of a distant waterfall, breezes from the valley below and birds singing- nothing but nature. For those who need a larger or second home, or wish to create a compound, the adjoining lot is included with this purchase and offers stunning Whiteside Mountain views, as well.
