Living Above It All: The Allure of Mountain Luxury in Cashiers & Highlands

Welcome to the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau—where crisp mountain air, world-class golf, and untouched natural beauty come together in perfect harmony. Nestled at elevations above 3,500 feet, the communities of Cashiers and Highlands, North Carolina, offer a rare blend of refined living and rugged wilderness, creating one of the most coveted luxury real estate destinations in the Southeast.

Whether you're drawn to the privacy of an estate tucked within the national forest, the prestige of a gated golf community, or the charm of a craftsman-style retreat with sweeping mountain views, you'll find it here. This is where second-home buyers, retirees, and outdoor enthusiasts escape the ordinary and embrace the extraordinary—all just a few hours from Atlanta, Charlotte, or Greenville.

Surrounded by protected lands like Nantahala National Forest and Panthertown Valley, residents enjoy easy access to hiking, trout streams, scenic waterfalls, and panoramic overlooks—all while returning home to fine dining, boutique shopping, and five-star club amenities.

If you’re searching for that perfect balance between luxury and nature, between serenity and sophistication, welcome home. The Highlands-Cashiers Plateau isn’t just a place to live—it’s a lifestyle, a legacy, and a breath of fresh mountain air.
