    What's special

    Shimmering hardwood floorsDedicated grilling deckSpa-like ensuite bathPrivate dog parkPrivate paved roadComplete down-to-studs renovationCustom steel staircase railings
    No detail was spared in the complete, down-to-studs renovation of this mid-century mountain modern masterpiece, hidden away in the exclusive Bright Mountain community. Tucked along a private paved road just 11 minutes from downtown Cashiers boutiques and dining, this 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom sanctuary seamlessly fuses architectural pedigree with top-tier modern infrastructure. The main level introduces an ultra-airy open concept living and dining pavilion anchored by a dramatic, custom fireplace clad in genuine Florida Keys keystone and framed by custom steel staircase railings. At its heart is a chef's kitchen packed with a state-of-the-art Thor appliance package, shimmering hardwood floors, and brand-new custom doors and windows. Retreat to the main-level primary suite, complete with its own private sitting room and spa-like ensuite bath. An expansive screened porch spans the main level, creating separate outdoor dining and living rooms that flow into a dedicated grilling deck. The fully independent lower level serves as a perfect guest wing, boasting a second living room, a second bedroom with an ensuite bath, and its own private entrance opening to one of the home's three private decks. Outside, the 0.8-acre estate is a masterclass in landscape architecture, blanketed in lush native evergreen species and low-maintenance ground cover for year-round emerald scenery. Premium amenities elevate the outdoor experience, including a private dog park, a cozy fire pit area featuring custom Adirondack chairs made specifically for the property, and high-end, custom-designed architectural and landscape lighting that brings the home's striking geometry to life at night. Mechanically peerless, the property operates with an off-grid level of security, featuring a private well with a whole-house water filtration system, a whole-house Kohler generator, and a brand-new, state-of-the-art Carrier HVAC system. This is a flawless, turn-key mountain retreat where timeless mid-century design meets 21st-century luxury.
