This pristine 3 bedroom 3 1/2 bath home is perched near the top of the mountain in the tranquil Preserve at Rock Creek. The vaulted ceilings on the main level and expansive windows and glass doors throughout the home invite the outside in, providing a wealth of natural light, and an awe inspiring long range vantage which is all consuming on the large back deck areas featured on both levels. The overall design is highlighted by subtle rustic elements and all the modern amenities you could need. The open floor plan on the main level is perfect for gatherings and the lower recreation room is all set up for a quiet movie night. All the necessities can be found on the main level allowing easy living for the occupants. The community provides ample hiking trails, water falls, and local wildlife to observe. 20 minutes to downtown Cashiers. 34 minutes to downtown Brevard. The property has been a successful vacation rental and the management company can share details on request.
