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.

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.

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.
