Set above 4,500 feet in Falcon Ridge, this distinctive four-bedroom, four-bathroom log cabin with multiple bonus spaces embraces the beauty and character of high-elevation mountain living. Revel in expansive short- and long-range views across the Blue Ridge Mountains and surrounding lakes, and get to know your nearest neighbors — directly across the street is the border of Panthertown Valley’s more than 6,000 acres of U.S. Forest Service land.
Designed for easy one-level living, the spacious open-concept kitchen, dining, and living areas feature a wall of windows and glass doors that visually connect the interior with the surrounding landscape and open directly to a large deck. A wood-burning fireplace anchors the living area, while the primary suite also opens to the screened portion of the deck.
The outdoor living is especially inviting, with a series of connected spaces that bring you deeper into the natural setting. The main deck transitions to a screened area and then continues into a rounded, glass-filled bonus living space tucked among the trees, where the views and surrounding forest create an unmistakable treehouse feel. Complete with its own fireplace, this cozy retreat is equally suited to morning coffee, an afternoon with a good book, or evenings gathered around the fire. Three additional bedrooms and bathrooms provide comfortable accommodations, while additional bonus spaces offer flexibility for gatherings, hobbies, a home office, or a media room.
As a member of the Sapphire Valley Master Association, owners enjoy access to an impressive collection of four-season amenities, including Fairfield Lake for swimming, boating, and fishing, indoor and outdoor pools, fitness facilities, tennis and pickleball, trails, a recreation center, skiing and tubing, and the Vordach zipline. The surrounding Highlands-Cashiers Plateau is part of the Southern Appalachian temperate rainforest, where abundant rainfall nurtures lush forests, waterfalls, rivers, and lakes, while elevations above 4,500 feet bring notably cool summers. With Cashiers and the Plateau's restaurants, shops, trails, and outdoor adventures a short drive away, this is a place to slow down, breathe deeper, and let the landscape become part of everyday life.
