Rumford fireplaceTriple-lake viewsDramatic lodge roomFour ensuite guest quarters
Bearwallow Lodge is a high-altitude sanctuary with rare triple-lake views — less than a three-hour drive from Atlanta, Charlotte, Asheville, and Columbia. VIEWS & SETTING: At 3,500 feet, this home offers genuine relief from lowland summer heat, with cool mornings, comfortable afternoons, and spectacular fall color ahead. This 4BR/5.5BA estate borders 10,000 acres of National Forest with hiking trails to fly fishing and multiple large waterfalls at the property line. Located in Whitewater Ridge — a gated enclave of 16 homes where a neighbor sold for $2.5M in March 2026. With exceptional views and superior ensuite livability, this home is a compelling value. MAIN LEVEL: Dramatic lodge room with Rumford fireplace, chef's kitchen, and main-level primary suite with steam shower. A screened porch with stone fireplace extends the living space, while four ensuite guest quarters ensure privacy and comfort for loved ones and friends. LOWER LEVEL & EFFICIENCY FEATURES: The walk-out lower level adds 1,230 sq ft of finished living space — a gathering room with Jotul Oslo wood stove, a 4th ensuite bedroom, and a dedicated exercise/recreation room. Solar-assisted radiant floor heating on every level, a 3.5KW photovoltaic array, a high-efficiency Trane heat pump, and high-speed fiber internet deliver low utilities and a true work-from-wilderness lifestyle. LIFESTYLE: Easy access to Gorges State Park, Panthertown Valley, and the pristine waters of Lakes Toxaway and Jocassee. Cashiers, Highlands, and Brevard are nearby, as is Burlingame Country Club. Positioned at the eastern gateway to the Plateau — high-altitude living with shorter drives to Asheville and Greenville airports than Highlands or Cashiers. Impeccably maintained as a lightly used second home — turnkey and move-in ready.
