This European Manor, nestled in the heart of one of the most exclusive golf communities in the NC mountains, makes an unforgettable first impression - and it only gets better from there. Inspired by Old Edwards Inn and Spa in Highlands, award-winning Travis Miletti from Mountainworks nailed the architectural design with a turreted exterior, stone accents, and "eyebrow" entrance. Sitting on approximately 1.83 flat acres, this is a rare offering within the gates of Mountaintop Golf & Lake Club. The home has a newly painted interior, mature landscaping, and refinished solid oak wood floors. This 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home blends timeless mountain charm with modern comfort just a stone's throw from the clubhouse and world-class amenities. On the main level, a light-filled living room features a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and a wall of windows that bring the outdoors in. The open dining area flows onto a back deck, while the side screened porch with a stone fireplace is your new favorite spot for cool evenings and warm conversations. The kitchen is perfectly appointed with a massive kitchen island that seats 6 people and is topped with a custom wood countertop. Off the kitchen is a generous laundry and mud room with hidden computer station to hide clutter. Genius! The main-level primary suite offers privacy and its own stone fireplace equipped with gas logs for the ultimate relaxation. The closet is large and particularly rare for a second home. The primary bathroom suite is wrapped in Calcutta Gold marble tile with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Upstairs, a sweeping spiral staircase leads to four more bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a central lounge or TV space, creating a second-level retreat that lives like a private hideaway. Function meets form with recent upgrades, including 2 new HVAC systems, an attached 2-car garage, and a whole-house generator (with dedicated propane tank) built to handle any wild weather the mountains might throw your way. Then there's the Mountaintop lifestyle: a private 18-hole Tom Fazio golf course, lake pavilion on Lake Glenville, full-service spa and wellness center, gourmet dining, resort-style pool, kids' activities, and a year-round calendar of events - all just minutes from Cashiers, NC’s charming shops and dining. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence or a refined mountain retreat, 525 High Mountain Drive is move-in ready and thoughtfully designed for living well at 4,000 feet above the ordinary.
