Property details
About 525 High Mountain Dr
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.
