A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a private family retreat on one of the most unique islands in the Southeast, on the highest elevation lake east of the Mississippi, this exclusive sanctuary offers an unparalleled blend of luxury, seclusion, and convenience. Buck Knob Island features an on-site island curator dedicated to assisting with every resident’s need — from shuttling guests and receiving deliveries to launching your boat and ensuring seamless enjoyment of your property. Your journey begins at the mainland community common area, where you’ll find your choice of three covered parking spaces. From there, take a short boat ride across to your private dock and ascend to your personal island estate. The main residence is a custom-designed home featuring four spacious bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms. A charming two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bathroom guest cottage provides additional accommodations for extended family. Inside the main home, exquisite craftsmanship is immediately evident. Vaulted ceilings, rich wood flooring, and extensive custom woodwork set a warm, inviting tone. The light-filled great room boasts floor-to-ceiling windows, a stunning stacked-stone wood-burning fireplace, and a stylish wet bar. The chef’s kitchen offers generous space for preparing memorable meals and opens into a comfortable dining area and an additional sitting area with a second fireplace. A private office and a large laundry room are located just beyond. Also on the main level is a luxurious, resort-style primary suite featuring a spa-like bath and dual walk-in closets. Upstairs, a spacious loft separates two guest bedrooms, each with its own full bathroom. The expansive lower level is designed for entertaining, with a secondary kitchen/wet bar, a pool table area, a media room with a fireplace, and a game space with a dart board and a card table. An additional bedroom with a full bathroom is also located on this level. Both levels of the home open to generous deck space, with the main-level deck featuring yet another wood-burning fireplace. The estate includes an adjacent lot to the left, offering additional privacy or space for future development. A contiguous lakefront lot is also included, providing the opportunity to build a lakefront home. Buck Knob Island is just minutes from downtown Cashiers and the renowned Happ’s Place restaurant.
