Idyllic Mountaintop Masterpiece in North Carolina Captures the Essence of Countryside Living Asking $11.75M
Set within the prestigious gates of Mountaintop Golf & Lake Club, the estate at 2071 High Mountain Drive is one of the most exquisite offerings currently on the Cashiers Real Estate market. Listed at $11,750,000, this five-bedroom, six-bathroom masterpiece was designed by the award-winning PLATT Architecture and completed in 2010, embodying both sophistication and warmth across 3.17 acres of private, meticulously landscaped land.
Architectural Harmony and Custom Luxury
As you approach the residence, the classic stone exterior, shake roof, and copper gutters immediately convey timeless curb appeal. The interior opens with soaring ceilings, wide oak floors, and a dramatic stone fireplace that anchors the great room. Every detail of this home was designed for elegance and functionality. The chef’s kitchen serves as the heart of the property, connecting both wings and featuring an oversized island, walk-in pantry, Sub-Zero refrigerator and freezer drawers, and even a gas fireplace for added ambiance.
Just beyond, a screened porch with another stone fireplace and integrated TV overlooks manicured gardens and the fairways of Mountaintop’s nationally recognized golf course. “This home was built to embrace its surroundings,” says Kati Miller, listing agent with Caliber Fine Properties. “From every room, you can feel the connection to the mountains, the garden, and the heritage of the land.”
A Private Retreat for Modern Living
The Owner’s Wing is designed as a self-contained sanctuary, complete with its own lounge, wet bar, media area, and his-and-hers spa bathrooms outfitted with heated marble floors, soaking tub, and two spacious walk-in closets. French doors lead out to a stone terrace where a gas log fireplace offers a tranquil space for morning coffee or evening gatherings.
An elevator connects the main floor to the upper level, where three ensuite guest bedrooms and a bonus flex room provide additional comfort for family and friends. Throughout the home, smart wiring integrates lighting, security, and sound systems, while Hunter Douglas electric blinds and radiant heated floors offer effortless luxury.
“This property isn’t just beautifully designed—it’s deeply livable,” says Ali Moody, co-listing agent at Caliber Fine Properties. “Whether it’s the elevator, the full-house generator, or the walk-in mudroom, every feature is meant to enhance daily life.”

History, Market Presence, and Privacy
Built in 2010 and privately held since, the home entered the public market in August 2025 with an asking price of $11.75 million. Over the past decade, its tax-assessed value has surged from just over $2 million in 2017 to more than $4 million in 2024, reflecting the estate’s prestige and the increasing demand for North Carolina Real Estate in luxury mountain communities.
Luxury Houses Magazine reached out to Caliber Fine Properties regarding the ownership history, but the agents respectfully declined to disclose the seller’s identity, noting only that the homeowner is “a private individual who designed the home to be an enduring family retreat.”
Living in Mountaintop Golf & Lake Club
Life at 2071 High Mountain Drive offers more than just a luxurious home—it opens the door to a community unlike any other in the Southeast. Residents enjoy access to an elite Tom Fazio-designed golf course, a lakefront clubhouse on Lake Glenville, gourmet dining, full-service spa, and year-round events. Additional amenities include pickleball, tennis, swimming, and a 24-hour gated security team that ensures both privacy and peace of mind.
The home sits just minutes from the heart of Cashiers, a town known for its vibrant art galleries, fine dining, and scenic hiking trails along the Blue Ridge Mountains. For those seeking an extraordinary lifestyle within a close-knit, amenity-rich setting, this is the pinnacle of Cashiers Real Estate.
As Kati Miller tells Luxury Houses Magazine, “This is more than a home—it’s a legacy property that elevates the very idea of mountain living.”
