About 486 Kerry Hill Road
This stunning six-year-old custom home is situated at the end of Kerry Hill Road in the high-elevation Big Sheepcliff neighborhood, offering expansive views over Cashiers, Glenville, and beyond. Stone pillars mark the entrance to a long private drive, leading to a 12-acre homesite that captures the tremendous surrounding vistas. Iron and glass front doors open into a stone foyer leading to an airy great room with elevated coffered ceilings and shiplap detailing. The well-designed floor plan places the primary suite on the main level, complete with a cozy "night den" featuring a wood-burning stone fireplace and built-in bookshelves. On the opposite side of the home, the gourmet kitchen—equipped with a Lacanche range and Sub-Zero appliances—back kitchen, and dining area combine high-end detailing with efficiency. Adjacent to the kitchen and dining areas, sliding glass pocket doors open to a large Carolina Room with a fireplace, ideal for enjoying the mountain scenery. The upper level includes three spacious bedrooms, each with an en suite bath. A central sitting area provides a quiet space for reading, while an additional flex space with a full bath serves perfectly as a home office or overflow guest suite. The lower level offers a versatile game and media room along with a covered deck leading to the yard. Upscale finishes are found throughout, including a stone sink and architectural corbel detailing in the powder room, antique fireplace mantels, remote-operated blinds for the window walls, and a Dutch door in the back kitchen. Practical features include a two-car garage connected via a light-filled gallery, a fenced yard, crawlspace encapsulation, and a whole-home generator. This magnificent, timeless, and sophisticated home was created by the team of Mountainworks Design, contractor Roger Ward, and landscape architect Mary Palmer Dargan.
