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.

This enchanting 3-bedroom, 1 bath hidden artist's haven was known as the "caretakers lot" of the original Cold Springs development and is just 4 miles from the charm of Main Street, Highlands. Step inside to find refinished, narrow-planked hardwood floors that glow with warmth, setting the tone for a home that invites creativity, reflection, and escape. You will find a beautifully renovated kitchen with granite counter tops, modern tile back splash and new cabinets. In 2020, all the kitchen appliances were replaced with stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and electric stove and there's a washer and dryer in a separate laundry/storage room. In 2002, lifetime vinyl windows were installed, inviting the mountain light to pour in while keeping the elements at bay. And a full bathroom remodel was done in 2020 with a granite countertop sink, vanity, shower/bath with frameless glass sliding doors, and tile flooring. The two car garage is spacious and is wired for 220 voltage, enough power for an artist's studio or workshop. Enhancing the feel of quiet enchantment are the tall rhododendrons that offer seclusion and privacy, and a pollinating garden landscaped along the fence that frames the yard. Whether you're sipping coffee as the morning mist rises or watching horses run in the fenced pasture across the way, this sanctuary is ideal for painters, writers, and dreamers alike. Recently installed fiber optic internet, and a Generac generator ready for any season, this mountain retreat offers both serenity and reliability. The home is in a desired area of Highlands and is ideal as a vacation rental, investment opportunity, or first home. It is nestled behind a lush wall of Rhododendron making for private, peaceful sanctuary and the level, circular driveway makes for easy access, year-round. Over the years, this home has been well-maintained. The well pump was replaced in 2005 on the shared well, as well as the LP gas furnace in 2009, ensuring warmth through crisp mountain winters. The home's solid metal roof was installed, and the interior was painted in 2014. The exterior was painted along with the installation of oversized gutters and guards to protect the home through all seasons in 2018. There are no restrictions on short-term rentals so this cozy country cottage would be a great deal for an investor.

You will find a beautifully renovated kitchen with granite counter tops, modern tile back splash and new cabinets. In 2020, all the kitchen appliances were replaced with stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and electric stove and there's a washer and dryer in a separate laundry/storage room. In 2002, lifetime vinyl windows were installed, inviting the mountain light to pour in while keeping the elements at bay. And a full bathroom remodel was done in 2020 with a granite countertop sink, vanity, shower/bath with frameless glass sliding doors, and tile flooring. The two car garage is spacious and is wired for 220 voltage, enough power for an artist's studio or workshop. Enhancing the feel of quiet enchantment are the tall rhododendrons that offer seclusion and privacy, and a pollinating garden landscaped along the fence that frames the yard. Whether you're sipping coffee as the morning mist rises or watching horses run in the fenced pasture across the way, this sanctuary is ideal for painters, writers, and dreamers alike. Recently installed fiber optic internet, and a Generac generator ready for any season, this mountain retreat offers both serenity and reliability. The home is in a desired area of Highlands and is ideal as a vacation rental, investment opportunity, or first home. It is nestled behind a lush wall of Rhododendron making for private, peaceful sanctuary and the level, circular driveway makes for easy access, year-round. Over the years, this home has been well-maintained. The well pump was replaced in 2005 on the shared well, as well as the LP gas furnace in 2009, ensuring warmth through crisp mountain winters. The home's solid metal roof was installed, and the interior was painted in 2014. The exterior was painted along with the installation of oversized gutters and guards to protect the home through all seasons in 2018. There are no restrictions on short-term rentals so this cozy country cottage would be a great deal for an investor.
