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.

Morning coffee to the sound of the river, adventure waiting just outside the door, this is the rhythm of life on the Tuckasegee. This Webster home sits directly above the Tuckasegee, one of Western North Carolina's storied waterways. The Tuck, as locals know it, flows through the heart of Jackson County, cold and clear, drawing fly fishermen, kayakers and tubers from across the region. Native and stocked trout hold in its riffles year-round. Great blue herons work the shallows. In fall, the corridor of hardwoods along the banks turns the river into something almost unreasonable. You don't have to drive, it is outside your door. An abundance of windows and a sweeping screened upper porch keep the river in view whether you're inside or out. Cathedral ceilings, hardwood floors, an open split floor plan, and stainless appliances give the main level a clean, livable feel. A fully independent lower-level apartment with its entrance and private porch handles guests, family, or income potential without anyone sacrificing privacy. Fruit trees, solar panel and custom built-in closet shelving round out a property that's as intentional as the lifestyle it supports. Webster sits in the quiet center of Jackson County, just minutes from the bookshops, breweries and farmers market energy of downtown Sylva, and a short drive to Cullowhee and Western Carolina University. You're connected to everything that makes this corner of the mountains worth staying in, without being in the middle of it.

Welcome to The Fox Estate: A Living Masterpiece of Mountain Modernism. Commissioned in 1974 and pristine following a multi-year restoration overseen by architect James Howard Fox, The Fox Estate is an uncompromised landmark of Mountain Modernism. Set across 4.9 acres in the Blue Ridge Mountains, it reflects Fox’s vision of architecture, landscape, art, and life in harmony. Its defining feature is a daring engineering gesture virtually impossible to reproduce today: the residence spans the private, spring-fed waters of Asbury Lake. A natural creek flows beneath the structure before feeding the half-acre, trout-stocked lake, making water, shifting light, stone, forest, and sky part of the home itself. Offered turnkey, the estate remains indivisible from its history. Included is a pristine twenty-four-piece furniture collection custom designed by Fox, two monumental sculptural gates reminiscent of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West, and original hand-drawn 1974 conceptual renderings—together forming an irreplaceable intrinsic art asset. Inside, Fox’s design language unfolds through walls of glass, stacked stone, vaulted ceilings, indoor-outdoor geometry, and a monolithic granite boulder fireplace. The culinary space features quartzite countertops, expansive windows, and an intimate snug anchored by a Scandinavian wood-burning stove. The main residence includes a vaulted great room, three bedroom en-suites, full bar, dining room, office and family room. The primary en-suite is a private sanctuary offering a morning kitchen, more than seventy linear feet of cedar-lined closets, and a private stone patio overlooking the lake. Step from the great room onto seventy feet of deck floating above the water, while a hidden dock beneath the residence provides access for swimming, rowing, and trout fishing. Updated infrastructure throughout the home ensures modern comfort and efficiency. An adjoining parcel includes a fully renovated, two-bedroom guest cottage with Whiteside Mountain views, a sculptural gated entrance and drive, two fireplaces, and a kitchen centered around a handcrafted zinc island—ideal for multigenerational living or guests. More than a luxury residence, The Fox Estate is an immersive work of architecture, a historically significant mountain landmark, and one of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau’s most original estates.
