Elevate Your Lifestyle In A Mountain Retreat

Set within the gated community of Pilots Knob, this thoughtfully designed four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom mountain home captures expansive, layered, long-range views of the surrounding Blue Ridge landscape from multiple rooms, while offering the comfort and functionality ideal for both everyday living and hosting guests. The main level centers around an open-concept living space where the kitchen, dining area, and great room flow together effortlessly. The kitchen features a breakfast bar and pantry, with an adjoining dining area for relaxed meals or entertaining. A wood-burning fireplace with a gas starter anchors the living room, creating a warm focal point on cool mountain evenings. Expansive glass pocket doors open the great room fully to the covered deck, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience and framing the sweeping mountain vistas beyond. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main floor and includes a spacious bath with a double vanity, a private water closet, and a spa-style wet room with a soaking tub. Additional bedrooms, two on the upper level and one on the lower, provide comfortable accommodations for guests, while the large basement den and bonus room offer flexible space for recreation, media, or a game room. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with the covered deck and lower patio positioned to take full advantage of the ever-changing mountain views. A grilling area creates the perfect setting for gathering under endless stars after a day exploring the Plateau. Residents enjoy paved roads, community green space, a pond, a shared fire pit, and elevations above 4,000 feet, which provide refreshingly cool summer temperatures and a peaceful mountain setting. Rentals are permitted in the community, creating excellent potential for those seeking a vacation home with income-producing opportunities. The Big Ridge area is just minutes away from the pristine waters of Lake Glenville for boating, fishing, and swimming. It is a short drive from the vibrant dining, boutique shopping, and year-round events of Cashiers and Highlands. Easy drives to local airports—45 minutes to Jackson County Airport or 90 minutes to Asheville Regional Airport—make travel to your mountain getaway simple. Whether enjoyed as a full-time residence, mountain retreat, or investment property, this home delivers the best of elevated living in one of Western North Carolina’s most scenic settings.
