The entire home seems to pause, allowing the view to make its introduction. From the moment the front door opens, legendary Whiteside Mountain commands the horizon beyond soaring walls of glass, while the Cashiers Valley quietly reveals itself between the surrounding ridges, creating a panorama that changes beautifully with the light throughout the day. Gracefully positioned within Highlands Falls Country Club, this extraordinary mountain residence was designed to embrace the landscape rather than compete with it. Designed by Jeff Weller of Summit Architecture and masterfully built by Brett Murphy of Arrowood Construction in 2025, the home reflects an unwavering commitment to craftsmanship. Every room reveals another thoughtful detail, from curated lighting and exceptional millwork to windows positioned to celebrate the landscape rather than simply capture it. The newly reimagined kitchen features rich walnut cabinetry, an oversized gathering island, professional appliances, a stainless-steel backsplash with pot filler, and flows naturally into a morning room that may become your favorite place in the home. Positioned between the kitchen and the mountain beyond, it offers the perfect setting for lingering over coffee, a good book, and the ever-changing light across Whiteside. Two exceptional primary suites provide remarkable flexibility, each offering spa-inspired baths with heated floors, exquisite stone and tile, beautifully crafted cabinetry, self-drying steam showers, generous dressing rooms, and breathtaking mountain views. The main-level suite includes a private office, while the upper-level suite features a gracious sitting room. Two additional guest suites welcome family and friends with the same level of comfort found throughout the home. Beautifully landscaped herb, vegetable, and flower gardens blend naturally into the mountainside, while premium composite slate roofing, low-maintenance siding, and exceptional craftsmanship reflect the home's enduring quality. Designed with remarkable restraint and built to be treasured for generations, this is more than an exceptional mountain residence. It is one of those rare homes where architecture, craftsmanship, and the landscape exist in perfect harmony.

Imagine a life where each morning begins with a short walk from your front gate across the street to the trail leading directly into the heart of Highlands. Here, daily life balances effortless access to vibrant mountain living with the calm privacy of a wooded sanctuary. Set on four remarkable acres just moments from town, this estate is more than a beautiful home-it is part of Highlands' enduring story. The property traces its origins to the early influence of the Ravenel family of Charleston, whose extensive landholdings helped shape the Plateau. Today, these acres carry forward that legacy, offering a rare sense of continuity and place. What makes this offering especially rare is the land itself. Unlike many in-town properties, these four acres are largely usable-opening the door to a more intentional way of living. Whether envisioned as a gentleman's farm, greenhouse, or thoughtfully designed family compound, the property lends itself naturally to a more sustainable lifestyle-all just minutes from Main Street. Built circa 1922 by the Evins family and thoughtfully restored by builder John Underwood with design by architect Sam Edgens, the home honors its history while living comfortably for today. A gated entrance and laurel-lined drive lead to an elegant three-story mountain colonial of approximately 6,500 square feet. Inside, original oak and antique chestnut floors harvested from the land, stone fireplaces, handcrafted millwork, & more than 60 windows create warmth and scale. In-floor hydronic heating on the first and second levels ensures year-round comfort. The chef's kitchen, with its own fireplace, invites both casual mornings and refined entertaining, while spa-inspired baths and flexible third-floor spaces support everyday living and hosting alike. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with stone patios, a Rumford-style fireplace, heated pool, and spa surrounded by mature plantings. The home sits on the continental divide so rain from the front flows towards the west and rain from the back of the home flows east. An activity barn, trails, and expansive lawns offer space for recreation and reflection, while a guest cottage & additional accommodations above the garage support a multi-generational retreat. Just beyond, the Rhododendron Trail connects to Ravenel Lake, Sunset Rock, & downtown Highlands. This is a legacy property, private, connected, and increasingly rare. Seller will pay for a Caretaker & Concierge for 2 years from closing.

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.

On the shores of Lake Glenville, Deer Run Cottage emerges as poetry written in timber and native stone, a love letter to the landscape that holds it. The main level unfolds with the kitchen, dining room, and living room merging against the backdrop of mountain and lake views. Through floor-to-ceiling windows, the lake becomes a piece of art that changes with every hour and every season. On the main floor, the primary bedroom with its fireplace-feels like sleeping inside a painting. Wake to water, sleep to stars, dream to the gentle percussion of waves finding the shore. Three distinct outdoor spaces grace the main level, each with its own personality. The covered porch whispers of long dinners and longer conversations. The open deck calls to sun worshippers and star gazers. The screened sleeping porch off the primary suite promises afternoon naps. The upper level holds two rooms: one with a queen bed and a bathroom with a clawfoot tub, and a bonus room with its window seat. The lower level bedrooms open like jewelry boxes onto the lakefront porch. Four bedrooms, two flex rooms, and five and half baths allow space for family and friends to gather or scatter as mood and moment demand. Numbers cannot capture the real equation: how a building becomes a feeling, how architecture becomes memory, how a cottage becomes the place dreams are made of. From the private dock, to the sandy beach, or separate stone steps to a wading rock perfect for children or dogs, cool summer afternoons come alive with the thrill of lake adventures. Whether you're paddling across the pristine waters, taking the boat out for a sunset cruise, or simply diving into the crystal-clear depths, Lake Glenville becomes your personal playground at this elevated paradise. Deer Run Cottage understands human nature: we need both connection and solitude, grandeur and intimacy, civilization and wilderness. Here, morning coffee tastes better, because gazing at the view has replaced screen time. Sleep comes easier because the water sings lullabies through open windows. In a world of manufactured experiences, Deer Run Cottage offers something increasingly rare: authenticity. Luxury that whispers rather than shouts, elegance that simply exists rather than poses, beauty that rewards attention rather than demands it. Some places you visit. Some places visit you back. Deer Run Cottage belongs to the latter. Come see for yourself! *Broker is relation to Seller*
