Known as ''The Tree House,'' this one-of-a-kind architectural masterpiece offers an extraordinary waterfront lifestyle surrounded by the natural beauty of the mountains and lake. From the moment you arrive, the experience is unforgettable.

Walls of glass and an open, modern floor plan bring the outdoors in, showcasing sparkling lake views and the majestic Snowbird Mountains beyond.

Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located on the lower level, offering comfortable accommodations for family and guests. With approximately 100 feet of lake frontage and a private dock, Lake Santeetlah is right at your doorstep. Southern mountain views, glimmering water, and unparalleled privacy create a setting that is simply unforgettable.

A rare opportunity to own a true piece of art on one of Western North Carolina's most beautiful lakes. You've found your sanctuary.
