Offering panoramic mountain views of Big Terrapin, the Blue Ridge Mountains, and long range views into South Carolina, this legacy estate just minutes from the heart of Cashiers is a true gem. At an elevation of 4,000 feet and spanning 14.78 acres across five combined parcels, this idyllic mountain retreat offers privacy, serenity, room to expand — with building sites on three of the vacant lots — and an opportunity to create onsite private hiking trails. The main residence features four bedrooms, two bonus rooms, and six-and-one-half bathrooms, all but one of which were updated in 2024 with modern and bright finishes. Other thoughtful updates made in 2024 include an added half bathroom, conveniently located near the kitchen and laundry area, and freshly painted interiors with recessed lighting to create a bright and inviting ambiance. Expansive decking — updated in 2025 with hog wire and posts — provides a front-row seat to breathtaking long-range mountain views. The main level of the home boasts hardwood flooring, a spacious primary ensuite, and two additional ensuites. The open-concept living area, centered around a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, seamlessly flows into the dining area and kitchen — with granite countertops — a large pantry, a half bathroom, and a laundry room. Upstairs, an additional ensuite with magnificent mountain views is accompanied by a flexible bonus room with a full bathroom. A spiral staircase leads to the lower level, which features another ensuite bonus room, a sauna, a family room/office, a wine storage area that is perfect for collectors, and a second deck of the same size. The estate includes an additional detached two-car garage with a charming guest cottage above, complete with two bedrooms, a bathroom, a cozy living area, and a kitchenette, making it an ideal retreat for visitors or extended family. The property offers captivating curb appeal, with stately stone columns marking the entrance to the wraparound driveway. This traditional mountain estate blends classic country charm with modern comforts and updates, offering a rare opportunity to create a private escape in one of Cashiers' most coveted locations.
