Just five miles from the Cashiers Crossroads and minutes from Lake Glenville, it's ideally positioned to capture strong nightly rates and year-round demand in one of the Plateau's most sought-after markets. A lot of BANG for the BUCK! Behind a private gated entrance and at the end of a winding gravel road lies a mountain retreat that blends timeless mid-century design with modern comfort. This one-level home offers exceptional privacy, character, and value. Inside, soaring beamed ceilings, expansive walls of glass, rich hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and a stunning stone fireplace create warm, inviting spaces filled with natural light. The generous great room flows into an impressive chef's kitchen featuring custom wood cabinetry, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a butler's pantry designed for entertaining. One of the home's greatest strengths is its scale. The expansive living room, oversized kitchen, and luxurious primary suite deliver proportions rarely found at this price point, allowing this home to comfortably compete with properties priced at twice as much. The spa-inspired primary bath is a true retreat, complete with dual vanities, a freestanding soaking tub, an oversized tiled shower, and a walk-in closet. Entertaining continues outdoors on the covered deck, where a wood-burning fireplace creates the perfect setting for cool mountain evenings. Guests will appreciate a private bedroom that opens directly onto its own covered deck overlooking the forest. The home has also benefited from recent improvements, including a new roof in 2021 and all-new siding and gutters in 2022, allowing the next owner to move in with confidence while adding their own personal touches. The current owners have also connected the upper and lower levels, creating exciting possibilities for future expansion, additional living space, or a customized floor plan to suit your lifestyle. Completing the property are a newly constructed two-car carport, a spacious workshop beneath the home, and ample parking for family and guests. Offering remarkable quality, generous room sizes, and exceptional value in one of the Plateau's most desirable locations, this is a home that lives well beyond its price point and delivers the mountain lifestyle buyers dream of.

Sky High Cottage presents a unique opportunity to enjoy mountain living from a peaceful, elevated setting at approximately 4,100 feet above sea level — higher than Main Street in Highlands. Tucked at the end of the road, this private retreat offers a true sense of escape while remaining just minutes from town. Surrounded by mature, native landscaping — rhododendron, weeping cherry, and blooming hydrangeas — the home blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings, with Scaly Mountain providing a beautiful backdrop. Protected National Forest land borders the property, and a Forest Service road just beyond the driveway leads directly to the Bartram Trail, offering effortless access to hiking and outdoor adventure. And yet, it remains conveniently connected to the local community — only about 15 minutes to Highlands and 30 minutes to Clayton. Outdoor living is a standout feature, with both covered and open decks designed to take full advantage of the cool mountain air and treetop views. A charming stone patio below creates an inviting space for gathering, relaxing, or enjoying quiet evenings in nature. Inside, the home is warm and inviting, centered around a Malm gas fireplace (with the option to convert to wood-burning) in the main living area. The layout flows comfortably between the living, kitchen, and dining spaces, making it ideal for both everyday living and casual entertaining. Two spacious bedrooms share a well-sized bathroom, and the metal roof adds to the cozy mountain ambiance — especially during a passing rain. Practical upgrades such as HardiePlank-style siding, an encapsulated crawl space, and a tankless water heater provide low-maintenance, efficient living. The property also offers flexibility for future expansion or customization, giving the next owner the opportunity to enhance and grow the home over time.
