Ralph Lauren-inspired interiors feel sophisticated yet warm, perfectly suited to life in Highlands. Understated from the road, the home unfolds into generous living spaces designed for family and friends. The great room features vaulted ceilings, a dramatic stone fireplace, custom wainscoting and walls of glass framing lake and long-range mountain views. A hidden equipment room keeps technology discreetly out of sight. The chef's kitchen offers a 60-inch Wolf range, Bosch dishwasher, custom cabinetry and abundant gathering space. A dedicated bar reminiscent of "Cheers" flows into the open dining room and expansive covered terrace. With a masonry fireplace, outdoor television, infrared heaters and views over lush perennial gardens, this is true four-season outdoor living. Wrapped in glass, the main-level primary suite features spectacular views, separate his-and-her closets and a spa-inspired bath with a soaking tub overlooking the gardens and mountains. A second main-level en-suite evokes the timeless comfort of a classic mountain retreat. The lower level includes a media room with built-in Murphy beds, wine room and a private fitness room. Beyond the interiors, an extraordinary adventure awaits. Pass Mo, the enormous bronze moose, and descend into a private enchanted forest that must be experienced to appreciate its magic. Moss-covered paths with cable railings lead down locust-and-stone steps, past a massive boulder where spring water trickles through unusual moss formations, then by a hidden cave. Follow the sound of moving water to a mountain waterfall meandering through the stones—a setting reminiscent of a national park, yet entirely your own. Hike from home and explore a trail network extended by neighboring properties. An oversized two-bay golf-cart garage provides room for multiple carts, clubs and gear, with the clubhouse just a short ride away. Wildcat Cliffs offers championship golf, croquet, pickleball, fitness center with indoor pool, fishing ponds and walking trails. This is more than a renovated home; it is a thoughtfully curated Highlands retreat unlike any other. Wildcat Cliffs CC membership is appurtenant to the property; membership is mandatory and subject to Club approval

Steeped in history and thoughtfully reimagined for modern mountain living, this exceptional log home blends authentic craftsmanship, rare reclaimed materials, and contemporary comfort in a setting that feels both timeless and inviting. Constructed from historic logs dating to the 1880s, the home showcases the distinctive wide face of each log, a feature highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of early American log construction. While local lore suggests Daniel Boone once spent a night in one of the original cabins, what is certain is the remarkable care taken to preserve and celebrate the heritage of these historic structures. The home was carefully redesigned by an architect and reconstructed by renowned Highlands craftsman Tommy Chambers, widely regarded as one of the region’s foremost authorities on historic log construction. Unlike many historic cabins, this residence was engineered for comfort and efficiency. Spray foam insulation between each log, concealed within traditional concrete chinking, creates an energy efficient structure while preserving the authentic character of the original materials. Energy efficient windows and an encapsulated crawl space further enhance year round comfort, while heated floors in both bathrooms add a luxurious touch during cooler mountain seasons. Extraordinary reclaimed materials bring warmth and authenticity throughout the interior. The kitchen, dining areas, and select walls feature rare river reclaimed wide board cypress sourced from the owner’s private collection, a species no longer commercially available. In the primary suite, heart pine flooring anchors the room, while reclaimed wormy chestnut accents in the gable ends and antique tobacco poles used as exposed rafters create a rich architectural statement that reflects the home’s Appalachian heritage. The separate guest cottage, connected by a covered breezeway, features a bedroom and continues the theme of carefully curated materials, with reclaimed mixed hardwood flooring. It is privately positioned and served by its own mini-split system and offers comfortable accommodations for visiting family and friends. Blending historic authenticity with thoughtful modern improvements, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to experience the enduring character of a nineteenth century Appalachian log home enhanced with the comfort and craftsmanship expected in a refined mountain retreat.
