2429 Big Sheepcliff Road, Cashiers, NC 28717

Maison de Berger (the shepherd's house) sits at a vantage point high up in the private gated community of Big Sheepcliff. At an elevation of 4,340 feet above the town of Cashiers, the view and weather are spectacular. But the real charm is in the very special home which incorporates many imported historical building products. Tastefully interspersed throughout the home are 17th, 18th, and 19th-century European artifacts: from Belgian floors to Spanish beams, French doors and fireplace mantel to Italian lanterns all masterfully interwoven in this comfortable mountain home (See the “Historical Architectural Notes” attachment). Interior highlights include: bright and airy rooms with big windows to take advantage of the mountain breezes; a spacious living room with views as far as the Blue Ridge Parkway; a cleverly hidden bar; a massive stone fireplace; a proper gourmet kitchen with a cozy breakfast room; a formal dining room; and a fantastic owner's suite. Outside, the bi-level deck provides inviting relaxation and entertainment areas looking over a preserved forested view that extends to even higher mountains. The custom-built stone and imported wood-fired oven is an immediate attraction for both owners and guests. Maison de Berger is unlike anything else on the plateau with views, architectural features, a single-level floor plan, fiber optic connectivity, a two-car garage, and a whole house generator. Additionally, the gated Big Sheepcliff community provides miles of manicured roads; two stocked trout ponds, a large “play meadow”, and a community pavilion and fire pit at the top of the mountain with unparalleled views.
