Soar with the eagles high atop Little Sheepcliff Mountain in this beautiful estate-style home, which is surrounded by 12 acres of flora and fauna.  Enjoy terraced gardens, hiking trails, and majestic vistas.  Sip coffee on the large stone terrace as the morning sun glimmers high above distant views of Whiteside Mountain.  

Peals of laughter reverberate across the river-soaked heart-of-pine floors of the public areas of this home.  With an open floor plan, this home is cozy and comfortable whether you’re enjoying a quiet evening in front of the Great Room’s fireplace or entertaining a large group of family and friends.  This exquisite home exudes style galore.  Walls of windows throughout the house bring nature’s grandeur into each room.  

A banquet-size dining table anchors the transition space between the Great Room and the Gourmet Kitchen.  Custom cabinetry and a large Butler’s Pantry provide storage for all your cherished family heirlooms.  The Kitchen’s large central island offers the perfect prep area for an army of cooks while housing supplemental refrigerator and freezer drawers.  The wine cooler ensures your favorite beverage in easy reach.

The home’s Sun Room, which is conveniently located adjacent to the kitchen, offers the perfect spot for casual meals or relaxing gatherings.  The room’s heated stone floor is especially welcome when temps drop unexpectedly.  Enjoy your private enclave in the Owner’s Suite.  With an Office, a Sitting Room with fireplace and a private Patio supplementing the large Master Bedroom with private bath, you will relax in style as you feel the stress of a busy work-week drain away.

Upstairs your guests will feel truly pampered with sumptuous quarters too.  Two large Bedrooms each with private bath flank the Family Room, which offers a small Kitchenette.  This Multi-Purpose Room has space aplenty to house a large TV, a game table, and a billiards table.  Furnish it as your family desires.

This home includes unique features not found in many homes today.  The maintenance-free copper roof complements the cedar shingle siding that’s accented with native stone.  Enjoy a whole house generator; surround sound, security/alarm system, workshop/potting shed and two large carports as you build family memories.  

Where else can you find quiet solitude atop the mountain and remain just a short drive to the many amenities in Cashiers or Sapphire?  This gem of a home is listed by Beth Townsend of
