Loudermilk Custom Mountain Home on 2.29 Acres — Saratay Falls
This Loudermilk Custom Home opportunity is one of the most refined new offerings in Cashiers: a thoughtfully composed mountain residence sited on approximately 2.29 private acres within the gated Saratay Falls community. The design delivers a main-level owner’s suite, expansive vaulted ceilings framing the grand room, and a kitchen/breakfast axis that flows directly to covered outdoor living areas — engineered for entertaining and relaxed mountain living. The lower level opens into a roomy recreation area and three additional bedrooms, creating a private guest wing appropriate for multi-generational use or long-term visitors.
Architectural language here favors natural materials and layered rooflines—stone, timber, and warm millwork anchor the exterior while thoughtful elevations and a welcoming covered entry set the tone. The detached two-car garage is linked by a breezeway to preserve the home’s mountain profile and maintain usable site lines. Loudermilk’s design and build process allows buyers to collaborate on interior selections with the builder's design team, so the home can be tailored to a buyer’s lifestyle and level of finish.
Saratay Falls is an intimate, high-end enclave — gated for privacy and centered around a striking boardwalk and viewing platforms with direct overlook of Saratay Falls on Fowler Creek. Shared open space and a community firepit create a low-maintenance outdoor amenity for homeowners, while downtown Cashiers' dining, boutiques, and regional trailheads are minutes away. The lot’s size and orientation provide private wooded buffers and the opportunity for curated mountain landscaping and outdoor living zones.
This offering is geared toward buyers seeking a turnkey custom home in a premier mountain setting or those wanting to build and personalize their finishes with a respected luxury builder. Contact the listing agent to review the full plan set, builder specifications, and available finish selections. Loudermilk's reputation for mountain-appropriate craft and attention to detail makes this a rare near-term opportunity in Cashiers' luxury market.

A factual market snapshot around TBD Saratay Falls Drive Rd.
Cashiers is a specialty second-home and lifestyle market where estate-sized parcels and new custom homes command a premium. Inventory for large, buildable lots remains limited; well-sited new construction by a recognized builder like Loudermilk is absorbed more quickly than average stock. Median sales in the broader area are well below this offering because this listing sits in the upper echelon of the market — expect a longer price tail but strong buyer interest from affluent buyers in Asheville, Charlotte, and Atlanta regions. Current conditions (spring 2026) show balanced inventory with healthy demand for quality turnkey or near-turnkey product. Buyers focused on privacy, mountain architecture, and proximity to Cashiers' village amenities will find this product compelling; investors should weigh seasonality and local rental rules when modeling returns.
Low-density residential / single-family mountain estate zoning (typical for gated subdivisions in Cashiers). Verify with county zoning.
