This beautifully designed five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath mountain home combines elegant craftsmanship with stunning mountain scenery. Situated on 2.3 acres within the gated community of Cedar Hill, in Cashiers, North Carolina, this retreat sits at 4,000 feet of elevation on a peaceful cul-de-sac. The property offers expansive views of the iconic Bald Rock throughout the year, visible from both inside and outside.

The open and airy great room boasts soaring cathedral ceilings, several large windows that flood the space with natural light, and a stone wood-burning fireplace with a raised hearth serving as an inviting focal point. The home exudes rustic elegance and timeless mountain charm, featuring reclaimed floors and beams over 100 years old, an eye-catching antler chandelier, and crisp shiplap walls.

What We Love About This Home

We love how this North Carolina home feels both elevated and deeply connected to its mountain setting, with sweeping views of Bald Rock and a peaceful cul-de-sac location that offers true privacy. The interiors strike a beautiful balance between refined and relaxed, where reclaimed wood, soft shiplap, and an inviting stone fireplace create warmth without sacrificing sophistication. It’s also designed for real living, seamless indoor-outdoor spaces, a dreamy main bedroom suite, and flexible guest bedrooms, making it just as perfect for quiet retreats as it is for hosting.
