Welcome to 230 Rock Face Trail, where thoughtful design, inviting spaces, and long-range mountain views come together. Designed by architect Jeffrey Dungan, this single-level Low Country XL sits within The Preserve at Whiteside Cliffs, perfectly positioned between Highlands and Cashiers. The sweeping mountain views are the heart of this home. From Black Rock across the valley to Whiteside Mountain, the landscape stretches as far as you can see. Expansive windows bring the scenery indoors, while a wide deck — newly refinished in summer 2026 — runs across the main level and connects by catwalk to the primary bedroom. Step outside from either end of the cottage and enjoy a front-row seat to unforgettable sunrises, sunsets, and views that change with every season. Below, stone steps lead from the main porch to a covered outdoor living area that the owners added. This comfortable retreat is certain to become a favorite gathering place for morning coffee, evening cocktails, and quiet afternoons surrounded by nature. Inside, every square foot has been considered. Cathedral ceilings, engineered oak floors, quartz counters, aluminum-clad Ply Gem windows, and Mitsubishi mini-splits. The result is elegant and relaxed at once, refined while completely at home in the mountains. The lower level has been leveled and poured with a concrete floor, and currently serves as a mudroom and laundry. It is a perfect place to clean and store equipment for hiking, fishing, and other outdoor pursuits. Not finished space, though the groundwork is in place, should a future owner want to make it into something more. The drive is built on a TruGrid system with a stone border and a flagstone apron where it meets the pavement. Fresh landscaping throughout, with paved roads, underground utilities, and fiber.

A Jeffrey Dungan-designed two-level Low Country XL at The Preserve at Whiteside Cliffs, a thoughtfully curated designer cottage community between Highlands and Cashiers. This home lets you embrace outdoor living in any season. Two full levels of deck wrap the house, with Whiteside rising across the valley. Above, a wide main deck with room to dine and a fire pit to gather around. Below, a covered deck off the lower level and a hot tub deck beyond it. The current owners have improved on the original design with care. A covered, screened porch extends from the primary bedroom, framed to follow the existing roofline as though it were always intended. It is a private space off the bedroom, open to the mountain air and out of the weather. A bump-out off the main level adds a mudroom and laundry — which the original plan never had — with a built-in bench, hooks, and shelving, plus an interior stairwell leading down to the covered lower deck. Downstairs is where this one separates itself. The lower-level living room is the largest room in the house, with French doors onto its own covered deck. Alongside it are a bedroom, a full bathroom, a private entry, and a kitchen with a Wolf induction cooktop, a vented hood, a stainless farmhouse sink, a dishwasher, walnut counters, and a full-size refrigerator. Open the house up and use every bit of it, or let guests or a rental arrangement have their own space entirely. The separation between levels gives the next owner real options. Cathedral ceilings with exposed beams over seven-inch engineered oak floors, and windows on three sides of the main living space. Quartz counters, aluminum-clad Ply Gem windows, Mitsubishi mini-splits, and a whole-home generator. Parking is generous by the standards of the community, with a dedicated space directly serving the lower level. The drive is built on a TruGrid system finished in brown river stone, with a stone apron where it meets the pavement and a stone border around the perimeter. Paved roads, underground utilities, and fiber throughout.
