1228 Big Sheepcliff Road, Cashiers, NC 28717

This “Hidden Gem” in Big Sheepcliff is truly a “Diamond in the Rough!” Sitting with a commanding view of the entire Cashiers Valley and Cashiers Lake, this unique home will inspire and reward a new owner. Located “behind the gate” in the prestigious, lush Big Sheepcliff community, it is literally a “stone's throw” above the Cashiers crossroads. The “bones” are strong, and an interrupted renovation a few years ago yielded brand-new cabinetry, exotic wood countertops, and high-end Thermador appliances in the kitchen and butler's pantry/bar – all, as yet, unused. This house takes maximum advantage of the long-range mountain vista, with living, dining, and bedrooms all basking in the view. Primary rooms are large open spaces with high ceilings and lots of glass. The master suite has access to the screened porch and features a great view, large walk-in closets, and a marble spa shower/bath with heated floors. The lower level includes a third bedroom, a unique marble bath with a steam room, and a separate fourth suite with a private outside entrance. Multiple decks terrace the back of the home and provide spectacular views and outdoor living venues. A small gazebo sits proudly atop a perch at the end of a walkway. Mature landscaping surrounds the property, with remnants of the former oriental garden evident. Several unusual plant and shrub species are probably hidden among the leaves off carefully crafted paths. A large whole-house generator assures comfort in any season. With a little vision and TLC, this home can easily be restored to its former beauty. Big Sheepcliff residents enjoy a mountain-top pavilion/picnic area/fire pit with incredible views in all directions, as well as stocked trout ponds and a large, mowed meadow.
