Positioned within the gated community of Big Sheepcliff, this exceptional Cashiers residence is defined by one extraordinary element: the view. Spectacular panoramic mountain vistas unfold across the living room, kitchen, and breakfast area, creating a setting where the landscape is not simply admired, but fully experienced in every moment.
At the center of the main level, a grand double-sided stone fireplace anchors both the living room and kitchen, introducing warmth, scale, and architectural presence while preserving the view as the focal point. Two bedrooms are thoughtfully situated on this level, including a gracious primary suite with dual closets and a well-appointed guest room.
The lower level reveals a surprising depth of space and versatility. Two additional bedrooms provide comfort and privacy for family and guests. A dedicated office is oriented toward the mountains, offering an inspiring setting for work or reflection. A bonus room, half bathroom, and a generously sized workshop create flexibility for hobbies, projects, or additional living space. A striking natural rock wall adds texture and a sense of place that feels rooted in the surrounding landscape.
Located just minutes from downtown Cashiers and Lake Glenville, Big Sheepcliff offers a rare combination of privacy and convenience. Community amenities include a pavilion with sweeping views of Cashiers Valley, along with multiple ponds and open meadows, all within a gated setting.
From morning light to the final glow of evening, the mountains remain a constant and commanding presence. This is a home that captures the essence of life on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau, offering a refined balance of craftsmanship, setting, and perspective.
