94 Josh's Trail, Cashiers, NC, 28717
About This Home
Positioned just on the Glenville edge of Cashiers at 3,700 feet of elevation and only a few minutes' drive to the heart of town, this lovingly maintained mountain retreat in Josh’s Trail offers the rare combination of privacy, usable land, and convenience. Custom-designed, owned, and loved by the same family since its creation, the five-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom home is set on three gently rolling acres where a winding stream, native landscaping, and thoughtfully cleared outdoor spaces create an inviting setting for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying the natural beauty of the Plateau. The nearly level backyard — uncommon in a mountain setting — is designed for enjoying life outdoors, with mature native flora, expansive lawn space for recreation, a stone patio, and a fire pit tucked alongside the stream where evenings are best spent under cool mountain skies. Upper and lower rear decks, together with a screened porch connecting the two-car garage to the kitchen and main living area, create seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces built for every season. Inside, the open-concept main level centers around a grand stone, wood-burning fireplace that anchors the living and dining spaces with classic mountain character. Vaulted gathering spaces and generous windows invite the outdoors in, while the primary suite offers direct access to the screened porch and convenient main-level living alongside two additional bedrooms. Designed with hosting in mind, the lower level expands the living space with a spacious recreation room centered around a second fireplace, plus a kitchenette with bar seating for game days, holidays, and weekend guests. Two separate bunk rooms, a bonus room, laundry area, and two full bathrooms create exceptional flexibility for large gatherings, multi-generational living, or overflow accommodations. Located minutes from the shopping, dining, and community events of Cashiers, this property also provides convenient access to the boating, paddling, and recreation opportunities of Lake Glenville, extensive hiking trails, and the boutiques, restaurants, and cultural offerings of nearby Highlands. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, mountain getaway, or legacy property to be enjoyed for years to come, this home delivers the setting, space, and mountain lifestyle buyers seek, with rental opportunities providing added flexibility for owners.
