There are rare homesites, and then there are places that feel as though they were set aside for something extraordinary. Perched within Silver Run Reserve at an exceptional elevation of almost 4000 feet , this 9+ acre estate homesite offers the uncommon opportunity to own what feels like a private mountaintop, complete with sweeping 180-degree, year-round long-range mountain views and unforgettable sunsets that unfold across the western sky. What makes this property truly remarkable is not only its view, but its usability. Many high-elevation parcels within the Cashiers area offer drama, but few offer this kind of gentle, workable topography at the top of the mountain. Here, multiple potential build sites create a rare canvas for a legacy estate, family compound, guest cottage, expansive lawns, gardens, and outdoor living spaces designed to fully embrace the landscape. A roughed-in driveway leads to a generous building area, allowing the scale and privacy of the property to be immediately understood. From the moment you arrive, the experience is undeniable: the land opens, the mountains stretch in every direction, and the homesite feels both commanding and deeply peaceful. Along the eastern boundary, protected Nature Conservancy land adds an enduring sense of seclusion and natural beauty. The Summit at Silver Run captures the epic reality of mountain ownership at its highest level: elevation, acreage, privacy, sunset views, and the freedom to create something truly lasting. All of this is set within a fully amenitized community just minutes from the heart of Cashiers, offering the rare combination of being perched above it all while remaining connected to one of the Plateau's most desirable mountain communities.
