Pilots Knob is a gated mountain neighborhood in Glenville, just minutes from Lake Glenville and a short drive from the Cashiers crossroads. Homes sit at elevations around 4,000 feet on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau, where many take in long-range views across the Blue Ridge and the summers stay cool.
It is a smaller, quieter community than the big club neighborhoods nearby, with paved roads, low homeowners association dues, and no required club membership, which makes it a good fit for buyers who want privacy, views, and easy access to the lake without the cost of a private club.
Pilots Knob keeps its amenities simple and centered on the setting. Residents share a community pond, open green space, and a fire pit for gathering with neighbors, and the gate and paved roads are maintained by the homeowners association. The real amenities are just outside the neighborhood: Lake Glenville's boating, fishing, and swimming, and the trails and waterfalls of the Nantahala National Forest.
There is no golf course in Pilots Knob. Trillium Links & Lake Club on Lake Glenville and Mountaintop Golf & Lake Club are close by, and the private clubs of Cashiers, including Wade Hampton Golf Club and High Hampton, are a short drive south. Each club has its own membership process.
Lake Glenville is only minutes away for days on the water, and Panthertown Valley, Whiteside Mountain, and the area's waterfalls are all within easy reach. The Cashiers crossroads, with its restaurants, shops, and The Village Green, is about 15 minutes away, Highlands is a short drive beyond, and Asheville Regional Airport is about 90 minutes from the neighborhood.
Homes at Pilots Knob are custom mountain homes, many built in recent years, typically with three or four bedrooms on lots of about a half acre to two and a half acres. Many feature open floor plans, covered decks and outdoor fireplaces, main-level primary suites, and lower levels for guests, all designed to take in the views. New construction continues in the neighborhood, including homes by local builder Loudermilk Homes.
