Poised at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the prestigious, gated community of Highlands Cove, this exceptional new construction home blends modern mountain luxury with timeless design. Perfectly located between Cashiers and Highlands, the property offers sweeping, panoramic mountain views and convenient access to the best of both towns. Thoughtfully designed across three spacious levels, the home will feature 6 bedrooms, 6 full baths, and 1 half bath—providing generous space for hosting family and guests in comfort and style. A beautiful porte cochere and motor court creates a gracious arrival, setting the stage for the refined interiors within which feature wide plank hardwood flooring, shiplap detailing throughout and wood beam accents that add warmth and character to the mountain aesthetic. The chef’s kitchen showcases custom cabinetry and elegant quartzite countertops, while the great room, anchored by a stone fireplace and wall of windows, offers a welcoming place to gather and take in the views. The vaulted ceiling in the primary suite adds a sense of retreat, and each space is thoughtfully positioned to maximize natural light and mountain vistas. Outdoor living is a highlight, with an expansive deck and a large Carolina Porch complete with its own fireplace—perfect for enjoying cool mountain evenings and the surrounding beauty year-round. Only weeks from being completed by July 2026, this is a rare opportunity to own a new construction home in one of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau’s most desirable gated communities. Highlands Cove residents enjoy 24-hour gated security, underground utilities, community water and sewer, and high-speed fiberoptic internet. Optional club membership grants access to the Old Edwards Club’s world-class amenities, including a Tom Jackson-designed 18-hole golf course, fine dining at the clubhouse, a heated mineral pool, hot tub, tennis courts, and a well-appointed fitness center. At GlenCove by Old Edwards, members enjoy an organic garden and farm, a recreational lake for paddle sports and fishing, a 12-hole par-three course, pickleball, a state-of-the-art wellness center, and an entertainment barn complete with restaurant, bar, bowling alley, arcade, and golf simulator. Crafted for elevated mountain living, this home offers a rare blend of new construction, panoramic views, and access to a vibrant club lifestyle—inside one of the Plateau’s most coveted gated communities.
