Perched above one of Western North Carolina's most celebrated natural treasures, this newly constructed masterpiece by the acclaimed Fern Creek Builders delivers a rare confluence of refined craftsmanship, sweeping panoramas, and absolute privacy. Welcome to 2276 Breedlove Road — a home that doesn't simply sit in the mountains, it belongs to them. Approached via a private entrance off Breedlove Road, the journey to this 2024-built retreat unfolds across 8.02 acres of lush, wooded seclusion — culminating in a generous, level grass yard that offers open space almost unheard of at this elevation and two creeks flow through the property. From the moment you arrive, the intent is clear: this is a property designed to be lived in deeply and remembered forever. Step inside and the mountain modern aesthetic is immediately commanding. Soaring open-concept living spaces are anchored by rich reclaimed beams, shiplap, and oak hardwood floors that run continuously throughout. At the heart of the great room, a grand wood-burning stone fireplace commands attention and sets the tone for evenings spent in warmth and conversation. The custom kitchen is a culinary showcase — marble countertops, bespoke cabinetry, and a full Cafe Collection appliance suite strike the perfect balance between professional performance and elevated style. The main-level primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself — generous in scale and deliberate in every detail. A spa-inspired bath features a large walk-in shower with rain shower head, double vanity, and heated tile floors that transform cool mountain mornings into a luxury ritual. Step through to the expansive covered deck and the full drama of the setting is revealed: 180 degree unobstructed views sweeping across Panthertown Valley — a landscape of ancient ridgelines, forested coves, and ever-changing light. A second wood-burning outdoor fireplace makes this outdoor living room a four-season escape, equally inviting at the height of summer or beneath a canopy of autumn stars. The lower level is equally impressive — three well-appointed bedrooms, two full baths, and a large family room that opens directly to another expansive deck, extending the connection to the landscape at every turn. A two-car garage completes the package with practicality to match the prestige. Properties of this caliber — new construction, luxury finishes, true acreage, privacy, and those views — are simply not replaced once gone in the Cashiers/Glenville corridor.

3 Beds ⋅ 4 Baths ⋅ 1003501 MLS
Set within the gated enclave of Old Edwards Club at Highlands Cove, this three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom English cottage delivers long-range mountain and golf views without the elevation climb — a rare combination on the Plateau. Fully renovated in 2024, the interior reflects a meticulous attention to detail: new paint, flooring, light fixtures, and electrical finishes throughout, all chosen to complement the home's original character rather than erase it. The great room centers on a stone wood-burning fireplace framed by exposed beams and shiplap, with the screened porch functioning as a seamless extension of the living space — two oversized sliding doors open the rooms together, expanding the footprint for entertaining or simply drawing the mountain view inside. The screened porch is outfitted with a gas fireplace for year-round use. The kitchen is well-appointed with high-end appliances and connects to a private grilling porch; a laundry room and pantry are tucked off the kitchen. The dining room accommodates larger gatherings; a breakfast nook and the screened porch offer more intimate settings. The primary suite occupies the main level, featuring two walk-in closets and a large ensuite bathroom. The lower level functions as a private retreat, with a secondary primary suite or lounge opening directly to the covered lower porch; all bedrooms include ensuite bathrooms, ensuring guest privacy throughout. Unlike most cottages in Old Edwards Club — which have carports — this home includes an enclosed garage with a large storage room and attic storage. Cottage and garage roofs were reshingled in 2025. The professionally landscaped grounds wrap the property along a stone path, with seasonal plantings that mature beautifully through the warmer months. The community enjoys proximity to the Old Edwards Club clubhouse and offers 24-hour manned gate access, paved roads, underground utilities, and fiber internet. Old Edwards Club membership is not conveyed with this property; applications are available upon request.
