There are mountain houses that aspire to charm, and then there are mountain houses that seem to have arrived there naturally, accumulating character the way old cashmere accumulates softness. The residence at 63 Avon Road in Glenville belongs firmly in the latter category.
Tucked onto seven remarkably private acres just minutes from both Cashiers and Cedar Ridge Estates, the home carries the kind of pedigree that still circulates quietly through Plateau conversations. Historical listings note that the residence was featured in a Christmas issue of Southern Living and appeared in books by celebrated Cashiers decorator Lynn Monday, whose layered interiors helped shape the polished but deeply comfortable Highlands‑Cashiers aesthetic long before “mountain chic” became a marketing term.
And the house itself explains why.
Originally built in 1998 and later expanded with an addition substantial enough to feel like an entirely new residence, the property balances scale with intimacy in a way many newer luxury homes never quite achieve. Despite its generous proportions, nothing feels showy. Rooms flow easily into one another, each carrying its own personality while contributing to an overall sense of warmth and collected elegance.
The newer great room is the undeniable centerpiece. Antique beams stretch overhead above oak floors, custom wrought‑iron lighting, painted shiplap walls, and a substantial fieldstone fireplace. Yet for all the architectural detail, the room never feels overly formal. Instead, it has the inviting ease of a house that expects people to actually live in it — to gather around the fire, linger over cocktails, or settle in during a rainy mountain afternoon.
Elsewhere, cathedral ceilings, layered textiles, richly painted millwork, and beautifully scaled rooms give the interiors a distinctly English‑country sensibility softened by mountain materials and natural light. The remodeled kitchen introduces a cleaner contemporary note with stainless appliances and thoughtful functionality, while additional rooms beyond the three bedrooms and four baths offer space for an office, studio, reading room, or private retreat.
What elevates the property even further is its setting. A waterfall moves through the landscape just outside the home, creating both sound and motion throughout the gardens and outdoor living spaces. Stone paths, mature landscaping, and carefully composed terraces reinforce the sense that the house belongs exactly where it sits. And in a market where homes continue to build closer together, seven acres this near Cashiers feels increasingly uncommon.
Offered at $2 million, the residence is being sold fully furnished, including a remarkable collection of high‑end antiques, custom upholstery, artwork, and decorative pieces that contribute enormously to the home’s distinctive personality. In many properties, furnishings feel incidental. Here, they are part of the story itself.
