About this home

Architectural Masterpiece on Lake Santeetlah -- The Iconic ''Tree House'' Welcome to one of Lake Santeetlah's most distinctive and breathtaking homes. 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. Cross the private bridge over a cascading waterfall and enter beneath a stunning patinaed copper roof, where a slate foyer welcomes you inside. Walls of glass and an open, modern floor plan bring the outdoors in, showcasing sparkling lake views and the majestic Snowbird Mountains beyond. Every detail of this meticulously maintained home reflects exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful design--from hand-hewn log posts and vaulted open-truss ceilings to craftsman-style trim, custom built-ins, oversized windows and doors, and wide-plank hickory hardwood floors. This home truly is a work of art. Designed for enjoying the beauty of its surroundings, the spacious covered porch features an outdoor fireplace and provides the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining while taking in the sights and sounds of nature. Open the windows and let the soothing sound of the cascading waterfall become part of your everyday life. The kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a generously sized pantry. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat with its own private covered deck--the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the lake. 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. As an exceptional bonus, the property also includes a second vacant lot with sufficient lake frontage for an additional private dock if you choose to build, offering incredible possibilities for the future. 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.
