A MOUNTAIN RETREAT BETWEEN HIGHLANDS & CASHIERS — NOW OFFERED AT $700,000
Discover a rare opportunity to enjoy the Highlands-Cashiers lifestyle in a newer, low-maintenance mountain home with beautiful views and exceptional flexibility.
Built in 2022 and located at one of the highest points within the Preserve at Whiteside Cliffs, 61 Moonstone Loop offers a peaceful setting, mountain views, and convenient access to both Highlands and Cashiers.
The home has been thoughtfully expanded to include two bedrooms and features a screened porch, quartz countertops, pine shiplap walls, beamed ceilings, enhanced cabinetry, a generous pantry, full-size washer and dryer, automated window shades, and valuable additional storage in the encapsulated crawl space.
The home's location at the back and top of the community affords it peacefulness and privacy not enjoyed by other homes located lower in the community.
Use it as your private mountain getaway, a lock-and-leave second home, or explore its potential as a short-term rental. Short-term rentals are permitted, and many furnishings are included, creating the possibility of an easy transition to mountain living.
Spend your days exploring nearby hiking trails, waterfalls, Lake Glenville and the natural beauty of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau, then return home to your own peaceful mountain retreat.
61 Moonstone Loop isn't simply a place to stay in the mountains — it's a place from which to enjoy everything the Plateau has to offer. SELLER FINANCING AVAILABLE!
