Property Description

Set within the gated community of Silver Slip Falls just minutes from the heart of Cashiers, this mountain craftsman retreat was designed by noted architect Tim Greene. Privately gated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, the home sits on 2.81 wooded acres bordering U.S. Forest Service land, offering exceptional privacy and protection from future neighboring development. Beautifully landscaped garden areas and close-range views of Whiteside Mountain round out a rare combination so close to town. A covered entry opens to a stunning great room with soaring vaulted cathedral ceilings, exposed timber trusses, a floor-to-ceiling wood-burning stone fireplace, and a custom antler chandelier, creating a warm yet dramatic gathering space. Double French doors lead to an expansive covered rear deck, positioned to capture spectacular mountain views for entertaining or quiet relaxation. The main level offers comfortable one-level living, anchored by a primary suite with elegant faceted cathedral ceilings, dual closets, and a luxurious bathroom with heated floors, double vanity, and walk-in shower. A second guest suite completes the main floor. The bright chef's kitchen features beamed ceilings, an oversized center island, a Viking range, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a Thermador microwave, and a secondary prep sink with a pass-through breakfast bar open to the great room; the adjoining breakfast area enjoys picturesque views of Whiteside Mountain. A laundry room, a powder room, and an attached double carport with a workshop round out the main level. Upstairs, two additional guest suites with vaulted ceilings join a nicely sized loft suited to a home office, reading nook, or gathering space. Outdoors, the covered deck showcases the property's signature Whiteside Mountain views, while a lower stone patio with a fire pit provides a cozy place to unwind on cool mountain evenings. A garden shed with electricity adds storage, gardening or hobby space, and ample guest parking enhances the property's convenience. Residents of Silver Slip Falls enjoy a serene setting along the headwaters of the Chattooga River, with a stocked fishing pond ideal for canoeing and casting a line, plus private hiking trails showcasing the area's natural beauty. Constructed with a wood-and-shake exterior and a cedar-shake roof, this home blends timeless mountain architecture with exceptional craftsmanship, outstanding privacy, and one of Cashiers' most coveted close-range views of Whiteside Mountain.
