Originally built in 1946 and thoughtfully reimagined, this two-bedroom, two-bath cottage captures the essence of sophisticated mountain living while embracing the warmth and character that make Cashiers so special. Every detail has been intentionally selected to create a boutique-style experience. English-inspired interiors, vaulted wood ceilings with exposed beams, original hardwood floors, designer lighting, marble countertops, and heated marble bathroom floors create an atmosphere that feels elegant yet inviting. Premium touches throughout—including high-end European appliances, custom cabinetry, spa-inspired baths, and luxury finishes—elevate the home well beyond the typical mountain cottage. The thoughtfully designed floorplan offers both comfort and functionality, ideal as a personal retreat or luxury vacation rental. A wraparound covered porch illuminated by a copper gas lantern creates the perfect setting for slow mornings and relaxing evenings, while the firepit area invites gathering beneath the stars. The charming detached shed, once an artist’s studio featuring antique windows, offers endless possibilities as a creative space or gardening area. Part of what makes this property truly special is the Lancewood community itself. Residents enjoy mountain beauty, neighborhood socials, maintained roads, and the rare advantage of no HOA fees—only an annual water fee. The welcoming atmosphere and unmatched convenience create a lifestyle increasingly difficult to find in Cashiers. Located a short distance from downtown Cashiers, the home offers easy access to Buck’s Coffee, The Village Green, Cashiers Farmers Market, boutique shopping, galleries, acclaimed dining, and local favorites including TJ Bailey’s and Vivace. Surrounded by hiking trails, waterfalls, lakes, fly fishing, and the beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Green Cedar Cottage offers a true Cashiers lifestyle experience. Adding to its appeal, the property presents an outstanding income-producing opportunity with no short-term rental restrictions—an increasingly rare advantage in today’s market. Designer furnishings included (some exclusions). Home includes a Generac generator. Seller is a licensed NC Broker.
