Set within the coveted community of Wildcat Cliffs, this newly constructed residence represents the rare convergence of thoughtful design, timeless craftsmanship, and a pristine natural setting. Designed by the Pradera Group’s Mike Wadsworth and elegantly appointed by designer Kristin Wadsworth, the home offers a refined and effortless lifestyle in one of the Plateau’s most sought-after private clubs. Privately positioned on a lush 0.82-acre homesite framed by native rhododendron and mountain laurel, the home is a study in balance-equally suited for a quiet retreat or gracious entertaining. The main level features a vaulted great room with a dramatic stone fireplace, a sunlit dining area, and a chef’s kitchen designed for both beauty and function. Anchored by a bold stone island, the kitchen features professional-grade appliances and custom cabinetry, while a shiplap-wrapped range hood and natural wood accents lend warmth and character. A nearby wet bar with wine refrigeration adds ease to hosting and everyday living. The primary suite, located on the main level, is a private sanctuary-complete with a spa-like bath and access to a screened sleeping porch. On the lower level, two guest suites, a secondary living space, a dedicated office, and a fitness room provide privacy and versatility for extended family and guests. Seamless transitions to the outdoors include a covered terrace with a second fireplace, inviting year-round enjoyment in a mountain climate known for its cool summer breezes. From yoga on the porch to a soak in the freestanding tub, every detail of this home is designed to support rest, wellness, and connection. Wildcat Cliffs Country Club, where membership is an appurtenance to the property, offers a suite of world-class amenities, including championship golf, dining, fitness, and an active social calendar. More than new construction, this is a carefully crafted experience—delivering elevated living in one of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau’s most revered communities.
