Description

Perched at the very end of Wandering Ridge, this extraordinary property isn't just a mountain home—it's three distinct spaces in one, functioning as a true family/friend compound that grows with your guest list and bends to however you choose to live. The main residence is a stunning 2-bed, 2-bath sanctuary where brilliant white walls, gleaming lacquered floors, and multiple sets of French doors create a luminous backdrop against dramatic mountain vistas and rock faces. The primary suite is breathtaking—a walk-in closet, chic dressing table, and an all-glass shower that dissolves the boundary between home and wilderness. Upstairs, a full bedroom suite with a sitting area serves equally well as a private office or personal retreat. The screened porch sets the stage for unforgettable al fresco evenings—and is your gateway to even more space below. Head downstairs, around the corner, and into the lower-level guest quarters, where a charming foyer greets you with a built-in twin bunk nook—perfect for overflow guests. Beyond it, an additional bedroom and generous bonus room offer ideal space for a second living area or extra sleeping quarters. A discreet side entrance gives visiting families their own sense of arrival, privacy, and independence—making this the perfect setup for families with children who want their own separate world. Together, the main house and lower-level guest quarters accommodate a crowd in comfort, without anyone feeling on top of one another. Walk across the street and discover an enchanting cottage with its own full bath and a versatile loft—currently used for sleeping but easily reimagined as a studio, craft room, or creative escape. Close enough for connection, far enough for everyone to truly decompress. Outside, a stone fire pit anchors the upper grounds for starlit evenings, while the lower hillside beckons with possibilities—a cedar sauna or a peaceful yoga platform. Tucked at the end of Wandering Ridge, down your personal private driveway, and hugging the Horsepasture River, the river's voice rises through the trees after a good rain, a constant and soothing presence. This turnkey retreat arrives fully furnished with curated designer pieces and newly installed Balsam West fiber, keeping you seamlessly connected. Genuinely one of Cashiers' most distinctive properties—a fearless aesthetic, a floor plan that honors both connection and solitude, and a soul entirely its own.
