luxury houses with terrace for sale Jackson County, United States

Welcome to The Lodge at Mountaintop Golf and Lake Club. This estate is a study in elevated mountain living, where refined design and the grandeur of the natural landscape exist in perfect balance. Framed by breathtaking views of the iconic Whiteside Mountain, the property unfolds across a gently sloping homesite with beautifully conceived stone terraces, lawn spaces and multiple outdoor entertaining spaces. Inside, the home is a masterful expression of mountain design blending richly textured reclaimed wood and stone with a level of craftsmanship that feels both timeless and intentional. Floor-to-ceiling windows draw in an ever-changing wash of natural light while placing the surrounding scenery at the center of nearly every room. Four masonry fireplaces, bespoke doors, finely executed trim work, and a layered palette of natural materials create interiors that are at once sophisticated, warm, and quietly dramatic. The floor plan is designed to live with grace. Six generous bedroom suites provide exceptional comfort and privacy, including a serene primary suite on the main level, four guest suites above, and a bunk room suite on the lower level. Crowning the residence, a striking belvedere featuring an intimate sitting room and bar offer a cinematic vantage point over the mountains, an inspired setting for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or simply watching the light shift across the ridgeline. The main level is both grand and welcoming, anchored by a soaring great room with a commanding stone fireplace, reclaimed beam detailing, and walls of glass that dissolve the boundary between indoors and out. Entertaining unfolds naturally here, flowing from the great room into expansive kitchen and dining space, then outward to covered and open stone patios with a fireplace, each designed to celebrate the beauty of the setting in every season. Below, the terrace level expands the home’s sense of hospitality with a spacious family room, game room, sitting room, artist studio, and a covered patio centered around a built-in firepit. What distinguishes this residence as much as its architecture is the lifestyle it affords. Mountaintop Golf & Lake Club is among the Plateau’s most coveted private enclaves, an invitation-only club offering a distinctly elevated experience of life in the North Carolina mountains. At its heart is the Tom Fazio 18-hole golf course, an exceptional clubhouse with fine dining, full men and women's spas, fitness center, and pool. All complemented by a vibrant Outdoor Pursuits program and the club’s private Lake Club on Lake Glenville, where boating, dining, fishing, and a private beach extend the experience beyond the fairways. Further enhancing the lifestyle experience, Mountaintop is currently undergoing a significant expansion that will introduce new dining venues, additional bar destinations throughout the community, a resort-style pool, and more. This is more than a home; it is a retreat of rare beauty and presence, offering an effortless expression of mountain luxury in one of Cashiers’ most exclusive settings.
