About this home
Wake up above it all. Perched at 4,065 feet on 1.2+/- acres in the gated community of Cedar Hill, this 2023 mountain home opens to 180-degree views and sunsets you’ll never tire of, and is only minutes from downtown Cashiers. A stacked-stone and board-and-batten exterior under a standing-seam metal roof sets the tone, with a flagstone walk leading to the front door. Inside, the great room rises to a cathedral ceiling anchored by a stone fireplace. French doors open to a broad back deck that also connects to the dining room and owner’s suite. The chef’s kitchen pairs quartzite counters and a large island with Thermador Pro-series appliances and a walk-in pantry, then steps out to a covered porch with its own stone fireplace for cool mountain evenings. The main-level owner’s suite is a true retreat, with a double-sided fireplace shared by the bedroom and bath, a soaking tub, an oversized shower that looks out to the mountains, double vanities, and a walk-in closet. A private study, powder room, and laundry complete the main level. Upstairs, three en-suite guest bedrooms give everyone their own space, and the loft’s morning bar and private deck make an easy spot for first coffee. A two-car garage, landscaped grounds, and an outdoor firepit round out a home built for mountain living, whether full-time or by the season.
