This 5.69-acre property in Holly Berry Estates offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and long-term potential in one of the Plateau’s most quietly desirable settings between Cashiers and Highlands. Set within this private 430-acre community at the base of Whiteside Mountain, the land reflects everything buyers come to expect at this elevation — around 3,300 feet — mature hardwood forest, natural rock features, and a peaceful mountain backdrop with strong upside for selective clearing. Views are possible with thoughtful trimming, allowing the landscape to open up without sacrificing the wooded seclusion that makes the setting feel so private. Ownership in Holly Berry Estates includes deeded access to two private lakes, reserved exclusively for residents and ideal for fishing, swimming, canoeing, and other non-motorized boating. Combined with the community’s trail system and nearby National Forest access, the recreation footprint here is significant without ever feeling crowded or commercial. Convenience is another quiet advantage. The community sits roughly midway between Cashiers and Highlands — a short drive to either — placing dining, shopping, and club amenities within easy reach while keeping day-to-day life firmly in a low-density, mountain-quiet environment. In the broader Plateau context, this is exactly the type of land buyers consistently prioritize: acreage, strong privacy, recreational amenities, and proximity to both Highlands and Cashiers without being in the middle of either. Overall, it’s a straightforward opportunity with real flexibility — hold it as a private retreat, or shape it over time into something with more defined views and presence.

Set within the gated community of Chinquapin, this exceptional 6.11-acre homesite offers a rare combination of privacy, natural features, and build flexibility in one of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau’s most sought-after settings. Tucked at the end of the road, the property spans gently rolling terrain with multiple potential homesites and the opportunity to open both short- and long-range mountain views with selective tree trimming. With thoughtful clearing, a striking sheer rockface is revealed — adding dramatic character and a unique focal point — while a creek meanders along the property, providing a serene natural backdrop for a custom mountain retreat. Surrounded on three sides by expansive conservation land, the homesite enjoys exceptional privacy and a protected, unspoiled setting. Chinquapin encompasses approximately 2,000 acres, with 700 acres preserved under conservation easement, reinforcing its commitment to lasting natural beauty. Designed around a nature-forward, amenity-rich lifestyle, the community offers miles of hiking, biking, and UTV trails, along with fishing opportunities, a driving range, and gathering spaces like The Outpost clubhouse—featuring fitness facilities, social events, and seasonal live music. Additional amenities include pickleball courts and a community helipad, offering both recreation and convenience. Just minutes away, Cashiers offers boutique shopping, notable dining, and a vibrant arts scene, while Lake Glenville—the highest elevation lake east of the Mississippi—invites boating, paddleboarding, and days on the water. Nearby Panthertown Valley provides thousands of acres of protected wilderness, waterfalls, and backcountry trails, often called the “Yosemite of the East.” Despite its peaceful, tucked-away feel, the property is within approximately 90 minutes of Asheville Regional Airport and about three hours from Charlotte and Atlanta, offering convenient access for both regional and national travel. Private, versatile, and rich in natural character, this homesite presents a compelling opportunity to create a legacy mountain retreat in one of Western North Carolina’s most distinctive communities.
