About This Home

As of September 2023

Welcome to Holly Berry Estates, where luxury meets nature's embrace. This magnificent modern home seamlessly blends the iconic style of Frank Lloyd Wright w/its own distinctive character. Nestled on over 5 acres of pristine land, the home is sited to enjoy treehouse feeling in the summer, mountain views in winter & privacy of being tucked away from the street. The open living room, dining room, & kitchen boast soaring ceilings & walls of windows, inviting the beauty of the outdoors inside. Step onto the reclaimed cattle car hardwood floors & cozy up by the stone fireplace, creating a perfect ambiance for relaxation. The chef's kitchen is a culinary dream, featuring top-of-the-line appliances, a farmhouse sink, open shelving, custom built-ins, a generous wooden bar, & a spacious dining area with porch access. Luxury & attention to detail define this home, with radiant underfloor heating for all the concrete flooring & the downstairs hardwood floors, elegant copper gutters, & new boiler and humidity control. The main floor primary bedroom suite offers a sanctuary of tranquility with its high ceilings, tall windows, a large walk-in closet, & recently enclosed porch with a modern fireplace. The primary bath boasts two sinks, a luxurious volcanic limestone soaking tub, a glass-enclosed shower, a towel warmer, & open shelving. For those seeking additional space, a spacious loft area above the primary bedroom offers endless possibilities. It is currently used as a large closet & office area. The lower-level bath boasts a commercial sauna, 2 bedrooms, & a large family room with a private deck. In addition to the main house, a separate guest suite above the garage provides a versatile space with a wet room, ideal for accommodating guests or creating a private retreat. A newly added garage offers room for a 25-foot RV and additional garage parking or a large workshop area. Conveniently located between Highlands and Cashiers, the "Zen Den" is a coveted oasis for nature lovers.
