No detail was spared in the complete, down-to-studs renovation of this mid-century mountain modern masterpiece, hidden away in the exclusive Bright Mountain community. Tucked along a private paved road just 11 minutes from downtown Cashiers boutiques and dining, this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom sanctuary seamlessly fuses architectural pedigree with top-tier modern infrastructure. The main level introduces an ultra-airy open concept living and dining pavilion anchored by a dramatic, custom fireplace clad in genuine Florida Keys keystone and framed by custom steel staircase railings. At its heart is a chef's kitchen packed with a state-of-the-art Thor appliance package, shimmering hardwood floors, and brand-new custom doors and windows. Retreat to the main-level primary suite, complete with its own private sitting room and spa-like ensuite bath. An expansive screened porch spans the main level, creating separate outdoor dining and living rooms that flow into a dedicated grilling deck. The fully independent lower level serves as a perfect guest wing, boasting a second living room, a second bedroom with an ensuite bath, and its own private entrance opening to one of the home's three private decks. Outside, the 0.8-acre estate is a masterclass in landscape architecture, blanketed in lush native evergreen species and low-maintenance ground cover for year-round emerald scenery. Premium amenities elevate the outdoor experience, including a private dog park, a cozy fire pit area featuring custom Adirondack chairs made specifically for the property, and high-end, custom-designed architectural and landscape lighting that brings the home's striking geometry to life at night. Mechanically peerless, the property operates with an off-grid level of security, featuring a private well with a whole-house water filtration system, a whole-house Kohler generator, and a brand-new, state-of-the-art Carrier HVAC system. This is a flawless, turn-key mountain retreat where timeless mid-century design meets 21st-century luxury.

Hillside Hollow is a quintessential mountain cottage, nestled on a wooded hillside in the beautiful neighborhood of Bright Mountain. It is less than 15 minutes from the Cashiers Cross Roads. This Lake Glenville community is convenient to so many hiking trails, waterfalls and lake access points. The cabin was built in 1964 and was remodeled in 1992 and 2022 but still retains its fabulous special vintage cozy mountain charm! As there is no official HOA, the opportunity to rent short term will allow this property to possibly be income producing if so desired. The main level features a spacious foyer for all your hiking gear, a well aged wood sided powder room and the cozy living area with natural light and easy access to the covered outdoor porch. The kitchen is open, with lots of storage and cabinet space. On one end of the vaulted-ceiling kitchen space is a large dining area. The primary bedrm and bath are also located on the main level. The primary bedrm features a dressing room with built in clothing and linen storage. Rounding out the main level is the covered front porch with dining table, rockers and a swing. It is by far the greatest room in the house during the cool mountain Summers. An open side deck provides a place for many days relaxing in the sunshine. On the lower level, there is a bonus room with bunk beds. This room is perfect to be a game room or for overflow sleeping space. This lower room also has access to a lower level slab-patio. The second bedrm and full bath is located off the bonus room. The property has a cool old fire pit with stone benches and a good size shed that can be used for storage or a potting shed. This . 80 acre lot also has plenty of space for a dog yard or playground The yard is mainly flat and terraced, giving you several great areas to entertain outside. This property offers ample parking and a U shaped drive for easy ingress/egress. Bright Mountain is a charming neighborhood and very walkable. The seller is a NC Licensed agent.
