East meets West in this unique, Greene and Greene-influenced, Japanese-style mountain getaway that offers the very best of Blue Ridge Mountain living. Situated on 17+ acres in the lush woods of the Cullowhee Forest community, this truly inspirational, four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath collaboration between the owners and MossCreek Designs emulates the simplicity and minimalism of traditional Asian architecture. The dwelling's roomy design efficiently utilizes vertical space with two main-level bedrooms, plus two-and-a-half bathrooms and spacious, open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas. Floor-to-ceiling windows bring the serene sights and sounds of surrounding nature inside - including your private waterfall and hundreds of feet of river frontage. The lower level houses two additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, a separate kitchen, a bonus room, and a laundry space. Gorgeous wrap-around, covered decks on both levels provide the perfect spot to enjoy your preferred beverage while overlooking the enchanting grounds that include hiking trails, mesmerizing water features, outdoor showers, and magnificent Japanese gardens, all with a stunning backdrop of luxuriant mountain views. The primary lot is 6.37 acres; the secondary lot is 11.47 acres and encompasses a nearly-level mountaintop knoll, perfect for a second dwelling. Well-loved and maintained, Hinoki House is a true treasure nestled in the ideal setting. Cullowhee Forest is a gated community that offers the best of mountain living - a pristine scenic drive to this end-of-the-road, private property, a 75-foot waterfall, High Falls trail access, and fiber-optic internet. Located just 25 minutes to the town of Cashiers, which offers a variety of shopping, dining, and recreation opportunities; 15 minutes to Lake Glenville, and two restaurants that regularly offer live music. Asheville and its regional airport are a 60-mile jaunt, and Atlanta, Charlotte, and Greenville all lie within about a 2- to 3-hour drive.
