Lonesome Ridge offers a special opportunity to own a large estate adjoining one of the areas most outstanding private club communities.  It is a large plateau at the top of Cow Rock Mountain and is part of Lonesome Valley located just minutes from the crossroads of Cashiers, North Carolina.  This secluded refuge is naturally set apart, nestled within the largest box canyon east of the Rockies. Sheer granite walls rise from Lonesome Valley’s floor at 3,200 feet to more than 4,300 feet along the Lonesome Ridge plateau.

Lonesome Ridge’s three estate-sized camps range in size from 20 acres to 38 acres and enjoy a rare combination of nearly level topography and outstanding views of the Cashiers-area and yonder Blue Ridge Mountains.  They offer a naturally beautiful setting of large hardwood trees, rock outcroppings, moss covered overlooks, and a most private setting bordering National Forest.  Well-groomed hiking trails lead from the plateau into Lonesome Valley, and into Panthertown National Forest which offers over 6000 acres filled with beautiful views, creeks, waterfalls, meadows, rock outcroppings and many other natural exhibits.

At Lonesome Ridge, one can experience the privacy, beauty, and lifestyle that are truly a rare find.
