Woods Mountain Trail lot: 7, Cullowhee, NC 28723

Rising above the shoreline of Lake Glenville, this lakefront homesite pairs 190 feet of lakefront with sweeping mountain views and an easy building slope close to the water's edge. Paved road access leads to the lot, which features a homesite that can sit at least 200 feet back from the road for privacy, with a north-facing orientation that keeps mountain days cool.

At over 3,400 feet in elevation, Lake Glenville is the highest lake east of the Mississippi - a 1,400-plus-acre expanse framed by the peaks of the Blue Ridge Mountains. A public beach and three public boat ramps sit a short drive away, keeping lake days simple: skiing, tubing, fishing, and unhurried morning paddles, with cool mountain breezes settling in each evening. Private, convenient, and rich with natural beauty, this homesite offers a rare canvas for a mountain oasis or a peaceful weekend retreat.
