This preconstruction custom-designed luxury retreat blends relaxed mountain elegance with high-end modern features, all while capturing some of the most iconic views in the Blue Ridge Mountains; including Whiteside Mountain, and Devil’s Courthouse. Thoughtfully positioned on a prime lot within the boutique 20-home Saratay Falls community, this three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home offers a harmonious connection to nature and refined living just six minutes from the restaurants and shops of downtown Cashiers. Crafted by award-winning Loudermilk Custom Homes, a Southern Living Custom Builder and leader in smart home innovation, this residence is a showcase of bespoke craftsmanship and elevated design. The open-concept floor plan is anchored by a vaulted great room with a striking stone fireplace, warm timber accents, and expansive glass pocket doors that completely retract to bring the outdoors in. Opening to generous covered porches ideal for year-round entertaining or quiet mornings overlooking the peaks. Interior highlights include rustic wood beams, shiplap and timber wall treatments, designer-selected light fixtures in a modern industrial style, and wide-plank wood flooring throughout. The gourmet kitchen is outfitted with premium appliances, custom cabinetry, and a large island for gathering with friends and family. A main-level primary suite offers a private sanctuary with large windows, spa-like bath, and views to the surrounding ridgelines. Two additional bedrooms, each with ensuite baths, provide ample space for guests or multi-generational living, along with a private guest suite above the garage. Every Loudermilk home includes next-generation smart home technology, with advanced automation, security, climate control, and lighting systems pre-integrated for modern convenience. Energy efficiency, top-tier materials, and a builder reputation for total transparency and concierge-level client care ensure that this home will exceed expectations from start to finish. Saratay Falls is a private, gated community centered around the natural beauty of Fowler Creek and its namesake 40-foot waterfall. Residents enjoy creekside walking trails, firepit and game areas, landscaping services, and high-speed internet, all nestled within a tranquil wooded setting that still offers quick access to Cashiers, Lake Glenville, and Highlands.
