Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath Craftsman-style cottage offers refined mountain living with a rare combination of privacy, convenience, and direct access to Big Canoe’s scenic Lower Falls Trail. Built in 2004 and thoughtfully designed across three levels, the home blends timeless architecture with flexible spaces that adapt beautifully to modern lifestyles. The main level welcomes you with an open-concept kitchen and living area that flows seamlessly to a gracious deck overlooking the natural surroundings, including the sounds of Disharoon Creek. A light-filled sunroom adds an inviting retreat, while the primary suite on this level provides comfort and convenience for everyday living. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms share a well-appointed bath, complemented by a dedicated laundry room. The terrace level extends the home’s living space with two additional bedrooms, a full bath, a spacious family room, and a second sunroom that easily serves as a private office, gym, or creative studio. From here, a covered deck invites year-round enjoyment of the wooded setting. Enhancing the property is a two-car garage with a finished room and kitchenette above—an ideal guest suite, artist’s loft, or secluded retreat. Additional features include two tankless hot water heaters and Ipe Decking, a top- tier product and one of the longest-lasting hardwoods in the world. Adjacent to the home, a .89-acre lot owned by the seller may also be available for purchase, offering an extraordinary opportunity to expand the property’s footprint and ensure lasting privacy. With its thoughtful design, serene setting, and immediate access to one of Big Canoe’s most treasured trails, this home offers a rare opportunity to experience mountain living at its finest.
