Showcasing The Highlands-Cashiers Plateau’s Most Distinctive Properties
Welcome to the Summer 2025 edition of the Highlands-Cashiers Portfolio of Fine Properties, where we showcase the beauty, momentum, and sophistication of luxury real estate across the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau.
As the season warms, our region continues to show remarkable resilience amid a complex economic backdrop. Elevated interest rates and lingering inflation concerns remain part of the national conversation, yet the rebound in equity markets has fueled renewed buyer confidence—particularly in the luxury and ultra-luxury sectors. Many high-end transactions continue to close without financing, a testament to the strength and intention of well-capitalized buyers who view real estate as both a sound investment and a lifestyle commitment.
Over the past 90 days, the ultra-luxury segment has been especially active, with 17 closed transactions across Highlands, Cashiers, and Lake Toxaway. Christie’s Highlands-Cashiers office proudly represented two of the region’s top three sales, including the landmark sale of 1451 Flat Mountain Road for $9,000,000, representing both buyer and seller, and 97 Old Edwards Circle, representing the buyer in a $4,200,000 closing.
In addition, we’ve introduced eight new listings over $2,000,000, reflecting deep market insight, robust networks, and strategic collaboration. Among them is an exceptional manor estate “Foxhill” newly listed at 1877 Bowery Road, offered at $9,9750,000.
Our continued growth is no accident. Through our partnership with Christie’s International Real Estate, we’ve expanded our reach across key feeder markets such as Atlanta, Greenville, Charlotte, and Asheville. The Highlands-Cashiers office in particular has benefited from this alliance, providing sellers with unmatched exposure and buyers with curated access to some of the finest properties in the Southeast.
Whether it’s a storied legacy estate in Highlands, a serene lakefront retreat in Lake Toxaway, or a private golf course haven in Cashiers, Western North Carolina offers a rare blend of elegance, seclusion, and opportunity. As summer unfolds, we remain grounded in market fundamentals, energized by continued demand, and honored to guide our clients through some of life’s most meaningful transitions.
