34 Milkweed Trail

At more than 4,000 feet in elevation, this beautifully curated, fully furnished three-bedroom, three-bathroom mountain home captures the essence of relaxed Highlands-Cashiers living, with long-range, year-round mountain views, refreshing breezes, and inviting outdoor spaces designed to take full advantage of the scenery. Set on a neatly landscaped lot of just under one acre within gated Pilots Knob, the home offers a peaceful mountain ambiance, with paved roads and convenient proximity to Lake Glenville. A short drive brings you to Signal Ridge Marina for boating and lake access, Happ’s Place for casual dining and drinks, and The Local for food, beverages, and a laid-back gathering spot. The light-filled, open-concept living area features high ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace, while the sleek kitchen with an expansive island and breakfast bar flows seamlessly into the dining area, all opening to a spacious covered deck where entertaining, dining, or simply taking in the mountain backdrop comes naturally. A flagstone front porch provides another inviting spot to enjoy morning coffee or evening libations. Two ensuite bedrooms are located on the main level, while the upper level offers a private primary suite and a versatile loft with space for hobbies, wellness, a media nook, or quiet relaxation. Significant improvements over the last 2 years include a new standing-seam metal roof and gutters, a whole-house generator, and a fully encapsulated crawl space with storage, while expanded parking adds convenience for guests. Beyond Glenville, Cashiers and Highlands are both within easy reach, opening the door to the full range of Plateau recreation, dining, and shopping — from boating or skiing on Lake Glenville to hiking trails, waterfalls, golf, scenic drives, galleries, boutiques, and locally owned restaurants. The area’s U.S. Forest Service lands, like Panthertown Valley, add thousands of acres of protected mountain wilderness to explore, making it easy to spend the day outdoors and return home to the comfort of your own mountain setting. Come experience effortless mountain living in this turn-key Pilots Knob home with rental potential, where exceptional views, significant recent upgrades, and inviting outdoor spaces set the stage for a life well lived in the mountains.
