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. Convenient to many of the Club's amenities, this home is located in the highly desirable Turkey Knob section at Trillium Links and Lake Club on Lake Glenville.

Just minutes from the shopping and fine dining of downtown Cashiers, Blue Bear Camp is the ultimate Adirondack-style mountain lodge. This prime property borders the Nantahala National Forest, ensuring privacy and abundant wildlife. Another world awaits in the dream-like setting amid the wild Chattooga River, flowering landscaping, a sparkling waterfall, and lush forest, all against the stunning backdrop of Whiteside Mountain and Devil's Courthouse. Reminiscent of the great camps in the early 1900s, the rustic decor is warm and welcoming with natural wood details such as pine logs with golden chinking, wax-rubbed reclaimed heart pine floors, and a grandiose circular log staircase surrounding a seven-foot antler chandelier. The staircase is a masterpiece of engineering, constructed from Colorado Ponderosa pine over three months. Much of the custom furniture and details were built by local craftsmen on site. Other unique finishes were created by artisans from across the country, using natural materials such as mica, aged copper, shed elk antlers from Wyoming, Canadian birch bark, wormy chestnut, and turquoise. The stunning stonework and multiple fireplaces throughout the home were built from Tennessee fieldstones, many of which reveal 300,000-year-old fossils.

Set within the established Hardscrabble enclave, this 3.33-acre homesite offers a rare opportunity to create a residence that feels both connected and quietly set apart. The land unfolds with natural ease, offering multiple building options and a setting that invites thoughtful design rather than limitation. From much of the property, mountain views stretch outward, providing a daily backdrop that shifts beautifully with the seasons. The topography lends itself particularly well to a main-level living plan with a terrace level below - an ideal arrangement for those who value the ease of single-level living while still having ample space for guests and gatherings. It is a setting where a home can be designed to live comfortably day-to-day, yet expand effortlessly when family and friends arrive. Bordering Highlands Falls Country Club, the property enjoys a sense of continuity with the surrounding landscape, while a neighboring parcel that will remain undeveloped provides an added layer of privacy that is increasingly difficult to find. The combination creates a feeling of space and protection - an environment where the home you build today will retain its sense of place over time. Just minutes from the heart of Highlands, this homesite offers the balance so many seek: proximity to the town’s restaurants, shops, and cultural life, paired with the quiet rhythm of a mountain setting. It is land that invites intention - where the home you envision can take shape with both freedom and lasting value.
