Everything you wish for in a Carolina mountain home… and then some! This multifaceted 3/4.5 residence offers abundant features not normally found in a single home. The long-range views are breathtaking from inside as well as from the multiple decks and entertainment areas. The interior is cozy for two but can easily accommodate friends for dinner (the dining room table expands to 12) or extended activities in the well-equipped game room/wine bar. Another feature is the nicely furnished all-weather Carolina porch – with a stone fireplace AND radiant ceiling heaters for cool evenings (Elevation 3,960). When it’s snack or meal time, there are several options. In addition to a modern stainless-steel kitchen, three outdoor grills are on hand: a Kamado grill/smoker, a premium Weber grill, and a top-of-the-line Blackstone gas griddle. The outdoor freestanding fireplace is a popular lounge area… as are the two big view decks. The owners have paid remarkable attention to detail here. Witness the extensive home security system or the REME HALO Whole Home In-Duct Air Purifier, which appeals to respiratory-conscious visitors.

Magical! This warm family home captures the feel of a French country house, with all its character and unexpected nooks and crannies.

All these and more await you here. At nearly 4,ooo feet of elevation, the weather, the spectacular view and landscaping become an integral part of life.

Two homes rest on 19.11+/- acres of grassy meadows, ponds, streams, and one of the area’s original mountain homesteads, just minutes from Lake Glenville and the area’s finest golf courses. Surrounded by neighboring farms and large estate tracts, it offers a level of privacy and open space that’s increasingly hard to find. Spanning 4 parcels, the property unfolds a private landscape with rolling pasture, 4 fishing ponds, mature trees, and extraordinary stone hardscaping woven throughout. These create a natural backdrop with thoughtful landscaping that invites exploration at every turn. At the heart of the property sits the original 1-bedroom cottage with a loft on 1.95 acres by a picturesque fishing pond. Wrapped in rare wormy chestnut harvested before the American chestnut disappeared from the Southern Appalachians, the cottage preserves an irreplaceable piece of history. From the front rocking chair porch to a porch swing on the back deck, this cottage lets you fully enjoy the adjacent pond and grassy lawn. Rich with warmth and personality, this is a place cherished over generations.

The main level features a living room with stone fireplace, chef’s kitchen with breakfast bar, dining area, and sliding glass doors opening to the back deck with views of the landscape. Downstairs, sliding doors lead to the patio, creating an easy connection to the outdoors. The lower level is already positioned for additional living space, guest rooms, or a full expansion. Garden areas, mature landscaping, and extensive infrastructure create a setting suited for long-term possibilities. Outbuildings, like a vintage barn and a charming stone-clad root cellar with potting shed, reflect generations of stewardship and agricultural roots. Additional 4.01-acre & 6.16-acre parcels add flexibility for homesites, multigenerational retreat, farmette, or a private estate. Plus, the remarkable 40 GPM well adds another layer of value. However you envision using this property, the possibilities are as expansive as the land itself. Opportunities with this much history, land, water, and potential rarely change hands.

Where the forest feels alive, and the noise of the world falls away, this 3-acre retreat tucked into the Mill Creek-Yellow Mountain Road corridor offers a rare opportunity to live immersed in nature without sacrificing comfort or convenience. With pond frontage, the property delivers the privacy, setting, and versatility that Plateau buyers actively seek. The updated three-bedroom, three-bathroom log cabin captures the timeless character of mountain living, with warm wood tones, inviting spaces, and the relaxed comfort buyers expect from a true mountain home. Generous open loft areas, a dedicated office or craft room, and a flexible layout make it equally suited for full-time living or a weekend escape. Large decks extend daily living outdoors, while a separate deck at the pond creates a peaceful spot for morning coffee or evening gatherings. Set just over 4,000 feet in elevation, the property rests within an extraordinary old-growth forest where towering white pines, native rhododendron, mountain laurel, and sassafras create a lush, layered landscape. Mosses and lichens thrive in the area’s abundant rainfall, adding to the sense of a living ecosystem. Wildlife is part of everyday life here, with songbirds, owls, deer, and seasonal visits from river otters, beaver, and other native species. A dammed creek along the southern edge forms the pond, drawing wildlife and opening the canopy to reveal star-filled skies and glimpses toward Yellow Mountain’s summit. The grounds are a true highlight: a charming pond, a thoughtfully landscaped yard, an established garden site, and even a chicken coop for those drawn to a more intentional mountain lifestyle. A detached two-car garage with an artist studio/workshop adds rare flexibility for creative pursuits or additional workspace. Nearby trail access leads to the Yellow Mountain Fire Tower, an often-quiet hike rewarded with sweeping long-range views. Less than 15 minutes from Lake Glenville and an easy drive to both Highlands and Cashiers, you’re ideally positioned to enjoy the best of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau, including boating, hiking, fly-fishing streams, golf, boutique shopping, acclaimed dining, live music, and the essential small-town charm that defines this corner of the mountains — all while returning home to cool summer temperatures, clean mountain air, and the peace of a truly natural setting.
