Experience unparalleled mountain living in this exceptional Koenig-built timber frame home, perfectly positioned behind the gates of the prestigious Old Edwards Club at Highlands Cove. This residence offers an exquisite lifestyle of comfort and natural beauty, ideally located with convenient proximity to both the GlenCove and Old Edwards Club houses.
Nestled amidst towering trees, the property provides exceptional privacy while boasting breathtaking long-range mountain views. The heart of the home is designed for seamless entertaining, featuring an expansive, open-concept living area with a stunning stacked stone fireplace and an oversized dining room. The main level showcases classic mountain elegance with intricate tongue-and-groove natural wood finishes throughout. The kitchen is a chef’s delight, equipped with high-end appliances, a generous island, and ample storage.
Perhaps the most cherished feature of this residence is its integration with the outdoors. The spacious porch serves as an idyllic sanctuary for enjoying the sunrise, hosting an al fresco dinner, or unwinding in the evening beside the outdoor fireplace. With its prime location directly overlooking the number 12 and 17 greens, this home captures the serene essence of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau.
The thoughtful layout offers room for everyone, including a lower-level living area that provides a perfect space for overnight guests. The quality of this home begins when you enter through the custom Alder wood door, and your view is drawn to the craftsmanship of the Douglas fir timber frame family room. Exterior is stone with clad casement Windows. Whether you are enjoying the quiet privacy of the trees or entertaining friends and family, this mountain retreat is a true legacy property.
Membership to the Old Edwards Club at Highlands Cove—featuring an 18-hole Tom Jackson-designed course, heated mineral pool, fitness center, and clay tennis courts—is available through a separate application process.
