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.

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 two car garage is spacious and is wired for 220 voltage, enough power for an artist's studio or workshop.

The exterior was painted along with the installation of oversized gutters and guards to protect the home through all seasons in 2018.

Rare opportunity to own a fully prepared, build-ready mountain lot in the coveted city of Highlands, NC — with long-range westward views, US National Forest as your permanent backyard, and absolutely no deed restrictions to limit your vision. Perched at over 4,000 feet of elevation, this 5.56-acre parcel on Buck Creek Road is unlike anything else available on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau. The heavy lifting is already done: a four-bedroom septic system, private well, underground electric, professional site work, and selective tree trimming have all been completed. A gravel driveway ascends approximately 200 feet from the road to a commanding build site, positioning your future home to capture sweeping long-range views to the west — the kind that turn golden at sunset and make mountain living feel like the reward it should be. With US National Forest land bordering the rear of the property, privacy and views are protected in perpetuity. No neighbors can build behind the property — ever. A wet weather waterfall adds the quiet soundtrack of a true mountain retreat, and at 4,200+ feet of elevation, cool summer temperatures make this a natural escape from the heat of the lowlands — just 2.5 hours from Atlanta. Best of all, no deed restrictions means you bring your own builder, your own plans, and your own timeline. Whether you envision a custom mountain home, a private family retreat, or a legacy investment in one of Western North Carolina's most sought-after communities, this lot delivers the canvas. All of this, just 10 minutes and 5.5 miles from the shops, restaurants, and culture of downtown Highlands via paved roads the entire way. Build-ready lots with views, National Forest borders, no deed restrictions, and this elevation are exceptionally rare in Highlands. This is the one you've been waiting for.
