Welcome to The Tree House at 40 Trout Lily Trail, a one-of-a-kind retreat tucked into the heart of Big Canoe. Perfectly situated on what many consider the best lot in Disharoon Valley, this charming three bedroom, two bath home offers the ideal blend of old cottage charm and modern mountain living. With its pretty winter views, usable yard, and private setting among mountain laurel, this home paints the perfect picture of a weekend respite or a full-time escape from the hustle and bustle. Step inside and you'll be greeted by soaring vaulted ceilings and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the great room with natural light while framing serene mountain views. A beautiful stone fireplace creates a cozy gathering spot, perfect for chilly evenings. The open kitchen with stainless steel appliances makes entertaining easy and flows seamlessly into the living space. The primary bedroom on the main level offers direct access to the expansive wrap-around deck-an ideal spot to sip morning coffee or enjoy the cool evening breeze. Upstairs, two generously sized bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath and feature bonus storage nooks tucked away for extra convenience. Throughout the home, you'll find ample storage options, from oversized closets to hidden spaces and even a large unfinished basement with exterior entry. Outdoors, The Tree House truly shines. Multiple areas invite you to relax and unwind: a front deck, a wrap-around back deck, and a screened porch that can double as an additional living space. The fenced garden provides a peaceful retreat, while the separate fenced dog yard ensures your pets have their own safe, playful space. With a usable lot-a rare find in Big Canoe-you'll enjoy year-round fun, from gardening to outdoor gatherings beneath the trees. Just steps away, you can walk to some of the best hiking trails in all of Big Canoe, leading to waterfalls and breathtaking mountain vistas-a rare and coveted feature in this 8,000-acre gated community where most residents drive to reach the trailheads. Life at Big Canoe feels like stepping into a modern-day 1960's movie inspired retreat, where every day offers a new adventure. Residents enjoy an exceptional array of amenities, including a clubhouse with a restaurant, a private golf course, sandy lakeside lounging, and three pristine lakes-one complete with a marina for boating and paddleboarding. Add to that multiple swimming pools, tennis and pickleball courts, playgrounds, and endless community events, and you have the perfect blend of relaxation and recreation. Whether you're looking to create lifetime family memories or seeking your own mountain sanctuary, The Tree House delivers.
