Lovely pictures in Country Living magazine point to lovely living on Cheat Mountain, and now the #1 shelter mag’s “House of the Year” can be yours for $1.575 million, according to the listing for 19 Meadows Drive at Intrawest’s Playground Real Estate. Like all 110 houses slated for development in the 22-acre Sawmill Village, this 5BR, custom-outfitted, Craftsman-styled dwelling comes completely furnished and EnergyStar rated. The developer (Thomas Tretheway of Summit III LLC in Charleston South Carolina) was kind enough to contribute about $900,000 to develop the three new expert runs— Camp 99, Sawmill, and Sawmill Glades— that opened last season. Come this fall, according to his gated community’s website, a 10,000 square-foot clubhouse will open with pool, spa, and a business center. And the future’s even bigger. According to one media report, there could eventually be 650 homes, thanks to options on over 800 more acres.
