Come and enjoy nature with 90+ acres to roam with paths for long walks. Architect James Fox designed this cliff side home overlooking the beautiful Longnose Waterfall. Feel like you are in the trees, in an area that remains much as it was when inhabited by Cherokee Indians. The stream below Longnose Falls feeds into Lake Hartwell and can be a refreshing swimming spot in the summer months. Enjoy the peaceful sounds of the waterfall as you cozy by the fire to read or play games. On the weekends in warmer months and holidays you may see kayaks, jet skis, and small boats visit the falls. This property is in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains. The architecture is much like Frank Lloyd Wright. The house is a unique blend of angles and windows to give you a beautiful view from anywhere in the house. The bedrooms provide breathtaking views of the waterfall and the surrounding forest. You can even view the waterfall from the oversized walk in shower.
This house is perfect for a couple or 4 adults to unwind and unplug. This house is not ideal for younger kids as there are multiple steps leading down from the front door to the living area then again to the bathroom and bedrooms.
A few house rules to note:
1) Please take your shoes off just after entering the house. This helps keep the place clean for everyone.
2) Unfortunately windows have been left open during rain storms and with air running, so the cranks have been removed from all windows to preserve the wooden interior of the home. Enjoy the house and outdoor feel without opening the windows. You can hear the waterfall even with the windows closed and there are 3 double doors facing the waterfall that lead to the deck that overlooks the falls.
3) Do not drive past the beginning of the 300 foot pathway that leads to the house. We have provided a rolling cart for your luggage and the pathway has lights, but if you plan to arrive after dark we do recommend having a flashlight for ease of unloading luggage.
4) The grill's charcoal is located in a plastic bin on the porch beside the grill and does not require lighter fluid. At the fireplace, there are fire starters. We've had guests use lighter fluid inside the house and this is dangerous, do NOT use lighter fluid inside the house. Thank you for your understanding.
5) This is a smoke free and pet-free home.
6) Burn only kiln-dried wood in the indoor fireplace- we provide one bundle of wood on the front porch.
We look forward to sharing this beautifully unique home with you!
