Cashiers, NC 28717 ME3 Old Chimney Road

Elegance, sophistication, and mountain mastery converge in this rare opportunity to build a custom estate with Loudermilk Homes in Silver Run Reserve, a premier gated enclave on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau. Through Loudermilk’s acclaimed 9-Step Process to Perfection, every finish and detail is yours to choose, allowing you to shape a home that perfectly reflects your vision, style, and lifestyle. This five-bedroom, five-bathroom, plus two half-bathroom residence is designed for grand entertaining and serene mountain living, with covered and open-air terraces, including a private balcony off the owner’s suite that extends seamlessly into the mountains. Floor-to-ceiling glass, soaring up to 13 feet, frames year-round vistas while flooding the open plan with natural light. Two stone fireplaces — in the living room and on the covered deck — add warmth and ambiance, complemented by a two-car garage and thoughtfully designed landscaping that accentuates local flora. The expansive lower level provides two bedrooms, a bunk room, and a den, creating a full second living area ideal for private retreats, leisure, or media. Perched at 3,800 feet on 2.3 secluded acres bordered by permanent conservancy land, the homesite offers long-range mountain views and unparalleled privacy. Silver Run Reserve, a nearly 300-acre sanctuary, blends the Nantahala National Forest and protected Nature Conservancy lands with curated amenities. Over 120 acres of shared streams, meadows, and lakes preserve beauty and exclusivity. The Water Plant features a fitness center, golf simulator, recreation spaces, and elegant lounges, while the forthcoming Meadow House — expected in 2026 — will include indoor and outdoor entertaining areas, a bar, commercial kitchen, and refined dining. Additional offerings include a pool and pool house with panoramic views, hiking and riding trails, stocked fishing waters, a boathouse, tennis and pickleball courts, a golf playground, and year-round events. Minutes from Cashiers’ fine dining, boutique shopping, and outdoor recreation — and a short drive to Highlands’ cultural and culinary experiences — Silver Run Reserve blends effortless luxury with the serenity of the mountains. Privacy, elegance, and the timeless beauty of the Blue Ridge converge in this extraordinary chance to build a bespoke mountain estate in one of Western North Carolina’s most coveted communities.
