Private Luxury Mountain Retreat

Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the climate in Cashiers is more mild and cool all year round — often 10-15 degrees cooler in the summer than lower elevation areas — which is part of what makes it attractive to families that have been vacationing in the area for generations.

There’s a reason why The Wall Street Journal recently called Cashiers an “enclave where America’s wealthiest go to fly under the radar” and Travel + Leisure magazine pronounced it “America’s Best Small Mountain Town” with some of the best resorts in the South.

Cashiers offers privacy, a strong sense of community, and luxurious active living with golf, hiking, fishing, camping, and more. There are also charming shopping boutiques and art galleries.

Cashiers also has a variety of terrific restaurants, from casual eats to sit down spaces where you can linger with friends and family. We’re big fans of Slab Town Pizza, Whiteside Brewing Company, Happ’s Place, and The Orchard.

Most mornings, you can find us at Buck’s Coffee Cafe getting a caffeine fix and breakfast sandwich to fuel up for the day. We’re also regulars at Duck Hawk Provisions, which is right next to our office on US-64.

On Saturdays and Sundays, check out the Cashiers Farmers Market for locally grown vegetables, fruits, honey, and other food and crafts.

Nationally Recognized Community

Saratay Falls has already drawn national acclaim and accolades from respected news publications such as Southern Living, and Builder and Developer magazine.

A custom home at Saratay Falls Lot 5 was recently chosen for the 2025 Cashiers Designer Showhouse event organized by the Cashiers Historical Society to celebrate the culture and history of the region. More than a dozen professional interior designers brought their unique sense of style and storytelling to decorate one room or area of the home, with rich textiles, bold patterns, and fresh ideas.

Another home at Saratay Falls Lot 14 was selected as the Southern Living Showcase Home in 2024 as part of the magazine’s Southern Living Custom Builder Program, which highlights craftsmanship and commitment to quality. This three bedroom home with three and a half bathrooms has floor-to-ceiling windows with stunning views of the Terrapin Mountains and Little Terrapin Mountains across the valley. From the covered balconies and outdoor living spaces, you can hear the gentle burble of the waterfall.

Design Your Dream Home Today

To make it easier and more enjoyable than ever before to design and build your custom home, Loudermilk Homes offers in-house architectural design services so you get the exact floor plan and style of home that meets your unique preferences and elevates your family’s lifestyle. We begin every engagement by asking about how the family spends their time, their favorite activities to do together as well as separately, and how they live their lives. For example, if you entertain often, you may want a second prep kitchen or an extra large dining room or a built-in bar and poker room in your finished basement. If you have children who play sports, you may want extra storage space for sports equipment.

Loudermilk Homes also offers professional selection design services through our sister company, Loudermilk Designs, which also offers clients bespoke interior design services to choose the perfect art work, furniture, rugs, window treatments, accent pieces, bedding and pillows, throw blankets, vases and other elements that make your home truly yours.

Check out our Design Gallery to see hundreds of inspiration photos of kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, great rooms, and more, or take our Design Questionnaire to reveal more about your personal design preferences.

The Loudermilk Difference

We created the Loudermilk Homes 9-Step “Process to Perfection” to guide clients through the custom home design and construction process, help them understand timelines and all the major decisions they will make along the way, and help them make the most informed choices as their dream home takes shape.

We care deeply about health and wellness so everyone in your family can feel their best.

As we begin each project, we begin by situating the home on the lot to optimize natural sun light, views, and sun and shade patterns. We start designing the architectural style of the home, and begin planning the layout of the kitchen because it’s the heart of the home. We then work on the rest of the floor plan, and make changes and iterations until it’s exactly perfect.

As construction begins, we use top-of-the-line materials such as advanced air filtration and energy recovery ventilation systems to bring fresh air into the home, high performance building envelope technology to protect against moisture intrusion, and superior construction techniques such as gluing and nailing subfloor boards to prevent squeaks and high-end HVAC materials to prevent rattling.

We also create indoor-outdoor living spaces such as patios, covered balconies, sun rooms, and other living spaces that help connect you with nature, as well as home gyms and yoga/pilates studios for personal fitness.
