Property Description
Windy Hill Lodge is an extraordinary mountain retreat set on 6.3 private acres at approximately 3,850 feet elevation within a gated community bordered by National Forest on three sides. The property offers sweeping long-range views across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, including iconic vistas of Whiteside, Yellow, Shortoff, and Big Terrapin Mountains, Rabun Bald, and the waters of Lakes Jocassee, Keowee, and Hartwell. Residents also enjoy access to a private 22-acre park with trails and the pristine Whitewater River, creating a rare combination of privacy, natural beauty, and outdoor recreation. This exceptional home—designed for hosting and extended stays, with exceptional flexibility beyond traditional bedroom count—features six well-appointed bedrooms and thoughtfully designed living areas that “sleep like a much larger home.” The upper level includes a custom bunk lounge with built-in sleeping niches and a whimsical treehouse-inspired hideaway, while the lower level offers a spacious flex studio with exterior access, full bath, and daybeds—ideal for guests, wellness, or private quarters. The expansive great room showcases a soaring 26-foot cathedral ceiling with exposed beams, rich oak floors, and a Tennessee fieldstone fireplace. Windows frame breathtaking mountain views and fill the home with natural light, while doors open to a covered porch with stone fireplace and outdoor dining—perfect for cool evenings and sunsets. The chef’s kitchen suits entertaining and everyday living with granite countertops, large island, butler’s pantry, and premium Dacor, GE Monogram, and KitchenAid appliances. A stand-alone bar with ice maker and refrigerator adds to the gathering appeal. The main-level primary suite is a private sanctuary with mountain and lake views, see-through gas fireplace, jetted tub, oversized steam shower, dual water closets, and cedar dressing room. Also on the main level are a guest bedroom with bath and a paneled library with fireplace. Upstairs includes a private guest suite with bath, sitting area, and wet bar. The lower level also provides two guest bedrooms with private baths, exercise and craft rooms, safe room, and a third garage with workshop. Additional features include a whole-house generator, central vacuum, four-zone HVAC, emergency water storage, mature landscaping, and extensive stonework—a rare opportunity to enjoy flexible, luxurious mountain living in the Blue Ridge.
