Your Private Luxury Estate

Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2017/07 - July

Imagine waterfalls and a gently flowing creek surrounding your private 73-acre luxury estate. You know you’ve achieved success when your family immerses itself in this magnificent home near Cashiers. As close to paradise as you can imagine, neither words nor pictures can adequately describe this home and its surroundings. You must see it to appreciate it. Wide stone pillars anchoring the gates welcome you to the gently sloping drive that meanders across the rolling meadow. Sunlight pierces the forest and dances along the streams that traverse the property. A keen eye may spot deer, turkey and even an occasional elk near one of the spring-fed trout ponds. 

It is a challenge to decide which is more eye-catching. Is it the splendid architecture of this lodge-style home with its wide expanses of glass and refined mountain charm or is it nature’s grandeur visible from every room? The great room with its wide plank floors, native stone fireplace, and vaulted, beamed, and trussed ceiling adjoin the dining area and gourmet kitchen to form the part of the home that spans the creek. The spacious kitchen boasts premium appliances, generous custom cabinetry, and a large island with seating, perfect for accommodating guests throughout the day. Native stone pillars on each side of the creek anchor this section of the house as it reaches out to the bonus room, with its game tables and mini kitchen. 

Gently cascading waterfalls culminate in a swimming hole adjacent to the terrace level. Listen to the water’s serenade as you relax on the wide deck. Hear the laughter as the grandchildren play in the cool waters below. Turn 180 degrees and your eye is drawn to the stream as it meanders past the dog trot into the native rhododendron and mountain laurel. The sumptuous master suite with its sitting area, custom walk-in closets, and spacious bath with dual vanities is the ultimate retreat after a busy day. Your guests will be pampered in their luxurious suites, too, while the youngsters are enchanted by the allure of the bunk room. 

Central heat and air, an elevator, a double garage plus ATV storage and handicap accessibility make this home perfect for multi-generational families. Have a quick workout in the fitness room or hike the plentiful trails. Mount an ATV and head for the ridgeline. Enjoy the ultimate privacy this enclave offers. Whether you prefer a private estate, a family compound or a corporate retreat, this exceptional property with its 6,000-square foot home and unsurpassed views is a must-see. Conveniently located between Highlands and Cashiers, it is just minutes away from shopping and premier restaurants throughout the area.
