About This Home

499 Bright Mountain Road offers an exceptional mountain setting overlooking Lake Glenville with a sweeping backdrop of the Blue Ridge Mountains beyond. Surrounded by native landscaping, rhododendrons, and mature trees, the property feels private and naturally integrated into its mountain surroundings. Conveniently located just 12 minutes from downtown Cashiers, the home combines easy access with the privacy and elevation buyers seek on the Plateau.
The A-frame design and open floor plan create an inviting space for entertaining family and friends while still feeling comfortable and cozy for everyday living. Filled with charm and character, the home offers a rare combination of mountain atmosphere, accessibility, and a lake-and-mountain view seldom found at this price point.
Situated on a paved road with ample parking, the property offers year-round accessibility for both owners and guests. Located within the Bright Mountain community, short-term rentals are permitted in accordance with county rules and regulations, offering excellent potential as an income-producing property or mountain getaway.
Whether used as a full-time residence or seasonal retreat, the home is just minutes from shopping, dining, hiking trails, and the recreational opportunities of Lake Glenville, including a public boat ramp approximately 8–10 minutes away, while still maintaining the peaceful feel of a private mountain escape.
