About this home

Tucked away on one of Wolf Laurel’s most desirable streets, 156 Cottage Lane offers a rare opportunity in a location where homes seldom become available. Located within a premier high elevation gated community in the Western North Carolina mountains, this four bedroom mountain home combines privacy, exceptional amenities and fabulous year-round, long range Blue Ridge Mountain views. Each of the four spacious bedrooms features a private en suite bathroom, creating an ideal layout for comfortably hosting family and friends. The open concept living room, dining area and kitchen form a welcoming gathering space designed for entertaining and spending time together. Expansive windows keep the ever changing mountain views at the center of daily life, whether preparing dinner, sharing a meal or relaxing by the fire. Outside, the expansive deck provides a front row seat to layered Blue Ridge Mountains, peaceful morning mist, brilliant fall color, snow covered winter peaks and unforgettable sunset views. It is the perfect setting for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the cool mountain air. Wolf Laurel is a 5,300 acre, high elevation gated mountain and golf community with 24 hour security, surrounded by the Pisgah National Forest. A nature lover’s paradise, the community offers approximately 50 miles of internal trails and numerous access points to the Appalachian Trail. Property owners also enjoy a private community entrance to Big Bald, known for some of the most spectacular panoramic views in Western North Carolina. The home is conveniently located near the Wolf Laurel Country Club, its 18 hole championship golf course, clubhouse dining, social activities and 24 hour fitness center. An Equity Village Club membership will convey with the property, with the buyer responsible for the transfer fee, providing access to additional recreational amenities and activities. Nearby Hatley Pointe adds even more to Wolf Laurel’s four season mountain lifestyle, with year round fine dining and a downhill mountain bike park scheduled to open in August 2026. From golf, hiking and Appalachian Trail adventures to fitness, dining, mountain biking and community activities, Wolf Laurel offers something to enjoy throughout every season. For buyers searching for a high elevation home, gated golf community, four season mountain retreat or year round Blue Ridge Mountain views, 156 Cottage Lane delivers the setting and lifestyle that make Wolf Laurel one of the most distinctive communities in the WNC mountains.
