About This Home
Spectacular Timber-Framed Dramatic View Home Just Minutes from Cashiers Village
Perched in one of Western North Carolina’s best-kept secrets—Chattooga Cliffs, a gated enclave just 2.5 miles from the Crossroads in Cashiers—this fully furnished, barely lived-in timber-frame masterpiece offers an extraordinary chance to own one of the rarest combinations in the mountains: jaw-dropping views, close-to-town convenience, and architectural excellence.
Crafted with actual timber construction and designed to celebrate both nature and comfort, this home features four oversized bedrooms, each with its own private porch and sweeping views of the dramatic ridgelines and valleys that define the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau. The primary suite is a sanctuary unto itself, with heated tile floors, a freestanding soaking tub, and a spa-style shower with multiple heads—bringing luxury to your daily routine.
Every inch of this residence blends rustic elegance with refined functionality. Grand ceiling timbers are gently illuminated with architectural uplighting, while soaring ceilings and walls of windows create a constant connection to the panoramic setting outside. All indoor spaces flow seamlessly onto expansive outdoor living areas, designed for everything from morning coffee to evening cocktails by the fire.
The chef’s kitchen, adorned with custom wormy maple cabinetry and a massive center island, opens to a grilling porch with a built-in gas hookup—ideal for entertaining under open skies. The great room, anchored by one of three stacked-stone fireplaces, is a place to gather, unwind, and take in the grandeur of your surroundings.
Above the two-car garage, a private guest suite with its own balcony and full bath provides the perfect escape for visitors. The walk-out lower level includes another generous living space, two spacious bedrooms, two full baths, a wet bar/coffee station, and a second laundry hookup—ideal for extended stays or multi-generational living.
From the nearly level entry and easy-access circular driveway to the multiple outdoor decks capturing the ever-changing mountain light, every detail of this home was designed to enhance your lifestyle with ease, elegance, and natural beauty.
This is not just a home—it’s a legacy. The kind of property that comes along once in a generation, offering the rarest of combinations: a dramatic, front-row view... true craftsmanship... proximity to town... and turnkey readiness.
