Welcome to The Fox Estate: A Living Masterpiece of Mountain Modernism. Commissioned in 1974 and pristine following a multi-year restoration overseen by architect James Howard Fox, The Fox Estate is an uncompromised landmark of Mountain Modernism. Set across 4.9 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains, it reflects Fox’s vision of architecture, landscape, art, and life in harmony. Its defining feature is a daring engineering gesture virtually impossible to reproduce today: the residence spans the private, spring-fed waters of Asbury Lake. A natural creek flows beneath the structure before feeding the half-acre, trout-stocked lake, making water, shifting light, stone, forest, and sky part of the home itself. Offered turnkey, the estate remains indivisible from its history. Included is a pristine twenty-four-piece furniture collection custom designed by Fox, two monumental sculptural gates reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West, and original hand-drawn 1974 conceptual renderings—together forming an irreplaceable intrinsic art asset. Inside, Fox’s design language unfolds through walls of glass, stacked stone, vaulted ceilings, indoor-outdoor geometry, and a monolithic granite boulder fireplace. The culinary space features quartzite countertops, expansive windows, and an intimate snug anchored by a Scandinavian wood-burning stove. The main residence includes a vaulted great room, three bedroom en-suites, full bar, dining room, office and family room. The primary en-suite is a private sanctuary offering a morning kitchen, more than seventy linear feet of cedar-lined closets, and a private stone patio overlooking the lake. Step from the great room onto seventy feet of deck floating above the water, while a hidden dock beneath the residence provides access for swimming, rowing, and trout fishing. Updated infrastructure throughout the home ensures modern comfort and efficiency. An adjoining parcel includes a fully renovated, two-bedroom guest cottage with Whiteside Mountain views, a sculptural gated entrance and drive, two fireplaces, and a kitchen centered around a handcrafted zinc island—ideal for multigenerational living or guests. More than a luxury residence, The Fox Estate is an immersive work of architecture, a historically significant mountain landmark, and one of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau’s most original estates.

A 1.02-acre homesite in Lake Toxaway Estates, set within one of the Southeast's most storied private lake communities. North Carolina's largest private lake has long drawn those who value discretion, seclusion, and an unhurried pace — and few positions within the community offer the convenience of this lot, situated minutes from the Lake Toxaway Marina, the Greystone Inn, and the Lake Toxaway Country Club. Sellers have completed meaningful groundwork: a driveway has been cut in, a potential building site cleared, a topographical map completed, and a four-bedroom septic application submitted. The preparation work reduces the typical lead time between purchase and construction, allowing a new owner to move directly into the design phase. Few lots in Lake Toxaway Estates combine this level of pre-development work, view potential, and access to the lake and club with comparable convenience. Plus it not only fronts N. Club Blvd. but also the very private Shorebrook Dr. as well.

Perched above one of Western North Carolina's most celebrated natural treasures, this newly constructed masterpiece by the acclaimed Fern Creek Builders delivers a rare confluence of refined craftsmanship, sweeping panoramas, and absolute privacy. Welcome to 2276 Breedlove Road — a home that doesn't simply sit in the mountains, it belongs to them. Approached via a private entrance off Breedlove Road, the journey to this 2024-built retreat unfolds across 8.02 acres of lush, wooded seclusion — culminating in a generous, level grass yard that offers open space almost unheard of at this elevation and two creeks flow through the property. From the moment you arrive, the intent is clear: this is a property designed to be lived in deeply and remembered forever. Step inside and the mountain modern aesthetic is immediately commanding. Soaring open-concept living spaces are anchored by rich reclaimed beams, shiplap, and oak hardwood floors that run continuously throughout. At the heart of the great room, a grand wood-burning stone fireplace commands attention and sets the tone for evenings spent in warmth and conversation. The custom kitchen is a culinary showcase — marble countertops, bespoke cabinetry, and a full Cafe Collection appliance suite strike the perfect balance between professional performance and elevated style. The main-level primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself — generous in scale and deliberate in every detail. A spa-inspired bath features a large walk-in shower with rain shower head, double vanity, and heated tile floors that transform cool mountain mornings into a luxury ritual. Step through to the expansive covered deck and the full drama of the setting is revealed: 180 degree unobstructed views sweeping across Panthertown Valley — a landscape of ancient ridgelines, forested coves, and ever-changing light. A second wood-burning outdoor fireplace makes this outdoor living room a four-season escape, equally inviting at the height of summer or beneath a canopy of autumn stars. The lower level is equally impressive — three well-appointed bedrooms, two full baths, and a large family room that opens directly to another expansive deck, extending the connection to the landscape at every turn. A two-car garage completes the package with practicality to match the prestige. Properties of this caliber — new construction, luxury finishes, true acreage, privacy, and those views — are simply not replaced once gone in the Cashiers/Glenville corridor.
