Set on a private, heavily wooded 0.49-acre lot with a gravel motor court and professionally landscaped stone-edged beds, the setting feels like a true escape — yet it's minutes from Cashiers and Sapphire Valley. Inside, wide-plank white oak floors and a reclaimed timber-beam ceiling greet you at the entry. The vaulted living room is bathed in light from dual clerestory windows and anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The chef's kitchen impresses with a waterfall quartz island, farmhouse apron sink, professional gas range with pot filler, a reclaimed-wood vented hood, and a walk-in pantry with custom shelving. A spacious laundry room on the main level adds everyday convenience. The main level offers three bedrooms and three full baths, including a primary suite with its own private office — ideal for remote work — plus a spa-style bath with a curbless glass shower, picture window, and designer tile. Upstairs, a large family room and a full bath provide flexible space for guests, a media room, or a second living area. Outdoor living shines here: a covered rear porch with vaulted wood ceiling and statement chandelier overlooks the wooded backyard, while a stone-edged gravel patio with a suspended fire pit and Adirondack seating creates the perfect gathering spot under the trees. New construction, thoughtfully designed, and privately sited — this is mountain living done right.
