25 Acres Bordering National Forest & Game Lands | Clear Creek Area Welcome to Cheyenne Summit at Clear Creek, approximately 25 acres of unspoiled mountain land offering privacy, natural beauty, and remarkable potential in the peaceful Clear Creek area of Western North Carolina—all while being less than 15 minutes from Highlands Proper. Tucked away on Cheyenne Drive and bordering National Forest and game lands, this heavily wooded property feels wonderfully removed from the everyday while remaining within easy reach of Highlands.

For those thinking beyond a single residence, the acreage presents a variety of possibilities to explore. Multiple potential homesites could lend themselves to a private family compound or legacy property, while the property's wooded setting, existing logging roads, public-land adjacency, and mountaintop setting create an intriguing backdrop for a recreational or experiential mountain retreat. Imagine hiking trails winding through the property, secluded cabins or glamping pods tucked among the trees, outdoor gathering spaces, and a mountaintop destination designed around sunsets, stargazing, and the quiet of the surrounding mountains. Any subdivision, commercial, hospitality, or alternative use would be subject to buyer verification and applicable approvals. Whether your vision is a private mountain estate, family compound, recreational retreat, investment opportunity, or something entirely your own, Cheyenne Summit at Clear Creek offers the acreage and setting to dream big—with the rare combination of true mountain privacy and Highlands Proper less than 15 minutes away.

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.
