This Classic Is Calling You Home

Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2017/09 - September

As Sirius the Dog Star stands out in the night sky, this beautiful manor house, which sits high atop Upper Brushy Face overlooking the Highlands Country Club, outshines the many exquisite homes of the Highlands-Cashiers area.  

Imagine the grand splendor of a Scottish Manor home with stone arches and rich woods.  Add large expanses of glass that frame the distant vistas to complete this one-of-a-kind masterpiece.  Quality materials, superior craftsmanship, attention to detail – what more could you want?

Amble up the stone walkway toward the front door.  Graceful stone arches and rich woods beckon your eye and warm your senses. A large two-story stone fireplace with custom-carved mantle reaches heavenward to intersect with the finely coffered ceiling of the Great Room. Light from the custom-crafted antler chandelier brightens the room with its oversized corner bar.    Its location just steps away from the Gourmet Kitchen with its walk-in pantry and upscale appliances attests to the thoughtful attention to detail used in planning this home. Kibitz with your friends as they gather around the Kitchen’s custom-designed mahogany bar.     

This home is ideal for entertaining, whether indoors or out. A large Dining Room with walls of windows overlooks the gently rolling lawn with its 100-year-old oak trees and sumptuous native plants and flowers. Gently cascading water from the hidden waterfall releases the tensions you brought from the city as you absorb the beauty of the views of Satulah, Whiteside and Shortoff Mountains.

Meander through a wall of stone and glass to enjoy the beauty of the rear porch with its stone flooring and floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Scan the horizon as you soak in the panoramic views of Blue Valley and beyond. Whether you’re entertaining friends or just enjoying a quiet family dinner, the Outdoor Kitchen will prove to be one of your favorite spots.    

Sunrise is mesmerizing from the magnificent main floor Owner’s Suite with its stone fireplace, Private Office, Spa-Style Master Bath and walk-in closets. The second floor includes another Master Suite with the same luxurious amenities found in the Owner’s Suite. Access it via the elevator or stairs.   

The guest wing includes two additional Guest Rooms each with private bath and walk-in closet. The youngsters love their private space in the Bunk Room with TV and game nook nearby. Teens enjoy the privacy of the adjacent third floor Bedroom, too.   

Stay toned and fit in the Home Gym with sauna.  Enjoy your favorite movie in the Home Theatre.  For those who remember the TV show “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” with host Robin Leach, you may think you’ve seen magnificent homes. Few of those homes can compare with the timeless sophistication of this Brushy Face residence.  

Claim this gem so your family will enjoy modern luxury in ultimate privacy as this property also adjoins the national forest.
