The Perfect Mountain Retreat

Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2018/12 - December

Oh,  what an idyllic setting for a mountain retreat!

Located in the prestigious Chattooga Club, just minutes from the  heart of Cashiers, in the stunning Blue Ridge Mountains, this cottage exudes the simple elegance of years gone by.  Southern charm enhanced with touches of European elegance create a home that is comfortable and cozy – the perfect mountain retreat that you will want to call home – seasonally or year-round.   Nestled beneath a canopy of decades-old trees surrounded by rhododendron and mountain laurel this house is  so perfect that you may think that it could only have been  designed by a Hollywood set designer. 

The dappled sunlight of the late fall afternoon casts shadows on the wood-shingled roof and bark siding.  As you enter the Foyer, your eyes are drawn across the expansive Great Room with its peaked  roof, through the wall of windows to the  distant mountain vistas.  Light from the multi-level antler chandelier shimmers across the dark hardwood floors like fireflies darting to and fro. Sip your favorite afternoon libation in front of a gently glowing fire as tantalizing aromas stir your taste buds as the chef prepares the upcoming meal. Meals are a time to share stories of the day’s adventures whether you are gathered around the Great Room’s dining table or you are watching the setting sun from your vista on the home’s expansive deck.

The woodland landscape provides personal privacy while you enjoy the benefit of having neighbors just a “hoot and a holler away.”

Enjoy the home’s thoughtfully designed floor plan.  Each room maximizes its footprint to offer gracious living with perfectly planned spaces.  Meal prep is a breeze with quality appliances and  all of your favorite cooking paraphernalia organized in walls of cabinetry.  Scads of granite counters offer workspace aplenty.  Take casual meals at the breakfast bar or kibitz with friends as meal prep concludes. Central heat and air, a full-house generator and gated access – it’s comfort and style  with ease.        

Enjoy the benefits of two Master Suites on the main level.  Pamper your guests in sumptuous quarters while you relax and rejuvenate in your own private enclave.    Large bedrooms provide space for reading and kicking back before the Sandman ends your day.  Thoughtfully appointed baths provide all the amenities you could possibly need.   Guests who choose the upper level  guest suite  enjoy a bird’s-eye view of the gently-rolling terrain.  A kaleidoscope of color fills the air as Mother Nature exhibits her splendor.

 This gem won’t last long-act today to make it yours. Enjoy the three Bedrooms and three-and-a-half Baths as they are appointed today or add your own unique touches of personalization.  You will revel in  comfort and charm for years to come.   Call Beth Townsend of McKee Properties at (828) 421-6193 or email her at [email protected] to schedule a showing.  Peruse the McKee website at mckeeproperties.com to see pictures of this stunning property.
