Bearwallow Lodge is a high-altitude sanctuary with rare triple-lake views — less than a three-hour drive from Atlanta, Charlotte, Asheville, and Columbia.

This 4BR/5.5BA estate borders 10,000 acres of National Forest with hiking trails to fly fishing and multiple large waterfalls at the property line.

MAIN LEVEL: Dramatic lodge room with Rumford fireplace, chef's kitchen, and main-level primary suite with steam shower. A screened porch with stone fireplace extends the living space, while four ensuite guest quarters ensure privacy and comfort for loved ones and friends.

LIFESTYLE: Easy access to Gorges State Park, Panthertown Valley, and the pristine waters of Lakes Toxaway and Jocassee. Cashiers, Highlands, and Brevard are nearby, as is Burlingame Country Club. Positioned at the eastern gateway to the Plateau — high-altitude living with shorter drives to Asheville and Greenville airports than Highlands or Cashiers.
