Overlooking Whiteside Mountain,the rolling hills of Cashiers Valley & the mesmerizing mountains beyond,stands a timeless treasure, steeped in history & familial love. Nestled on 4.18 acres behind old-growth rhododendron & tall trees,a majestic 1938 3BR/2.5BA farmhouse echoes with generations past.Tom &Theresa Cook of Palm Beach, FL,were drawn to Highlands' mild summers & tranquil settings,thus becoming the stewards of this cherished summer residence in 1939, creating warm family memories & traditions. The spectacular flat grounds, flower gardens & majestic mountain views like no other created the idyllic setting where 5 generations wove a tapestry of cherished memories. In the early days,before progress reached Whiteside Mtn Rd,the ridge stood as a testament to nature's untouched beauty. Only 5 houses stood, connected by winding pathways,where residents roamed & mingled freely. The rare flattish landscape was a playground of discovery, where garnets laid scattered waiting to be unearthed & carried by jarfuls to Mr. Gellen at the Gem Shop & the jeep-led tram ferrying hikers to Whiteside Mtn drove by. Over time, the main house evolved w/ the additions of the dining room, kitchen,& carport & two 2BR/1BA guest houses. The wormy chestnut paneling & detailing in the dining room were transported from Moultrie, GA,after a family friend found the wood for the Cooks. It wonderfully coordinated with the existing chestnut walls,paneling & detailing throughout the interior of the home. "Ridgecrest" was a local showpiece, featured in House & Garden magazine w/postcards of it & its view sold locally at Doc Mitchell's drug store & Potts Grocery. Notable guests included a couple, tied to the Manhattan Project,who were seeking solace during World War II. The dining room sideboard,that remains in the home today,was a thank you gift for the engineer's worrisome visit. Today,this homestead remains a sanctuary of love & timeless connection-a testament to the human spirit.

Truly the sweet spot on the Highlands Plateau. Original Joe Webb Log Farmhouse at the top of Billy Cabin Road. First time on the market for this historic, generational home. Built with wormy chestnut ceilings, walls, beams and built-ins, it's the original homestead of the late Jack and Teddy (Virginia) Wilcox who founded The Highlands Playhouse. Later, the cabin became the permanent home for their daughter, actress Collin Wilcox (To Kill A Mockingbird, The Instant Theatre Company etc) and is now owned by the 4th generational heirs. It's a diamond in the rough and ready for your upgrades. Farmhouse (#126) is named by the Highlands Historical Society as one of a handful of Joe Webb log cabins worthy of preservation. http://highlandshistory.com/documents/historic_houses_list.pdf
