Single Family Residence In Highlands

Designed by acclaimed architect Jeffrey Dungan, this distinctive saltbox-style mountain residence at The Preserve at Whiteside Cliffs captures year-round views of Whiteside Mountain and Black Rock in a private, gated setting just minutes from Cashiers and Highlands.
The home blends timeless architectural character with clean, modern finishes and an intentional, light-filled floor plan. The main level features open-concept living, dining, and kitchen spaces framed by expansive windows that draw in natural light and long-range mountain views.
A defining architectural feature is the interior staircase connecting the main and lower levels, enhanced by tall windows that flood the space with natural light while framing the surrounding landscape. This seamless interior access, not found in all two-story residences within the community, adds both functionality and architectural presence.
Outdoor living is thoughtfully integrated, with open and covered decks ideal for entertaining or relaxed mountain evenings. A screened porch off the primary bedroom offers a private retreat overlooking the surrounding mountain landscape.
The lower level offers additional living space and a secondary kitchenette, creating flexibility for guests or extended stays, along with dedicated storage for outdoor equipment and seasonal items. The property also offers an established rental history for those seeking optional flexibility in ownership. Furnishings are negotiable outside of the purchase price.
The Preserve at Whiteside Cliffs is a gated cottage community centrally located between Highlands and Cashiers, offering layered mountain views from Black Rock across the valley to Whiteside Mountain. Paved access, underground utilities, high-speed fiber optic connectivity, and a shared community fire pit support turnkey, low-maintenance living in a private mountain setting.
