Description

Welcome to Eagle Crest at Highlands Cove. Poised at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac inside the gates of Highlands Cove, this new construction home blends modern mountain luxury with classic design. Perfectly located between Cashiers and Highlands, the home offers sweeping, year-round mountain views and convenient access to the best of both towns. Thoughtfully designed across three spacious levels, the home features 6 bedrooms, 6 full baths, and 1 half bath, providing generous space for hosting family and guests in comfort and style. A beautiful porte-cochère creates a gracious arrival, setting the stage for the refined interiors within which feature hardwood flooring, shiplap detailing on the main level and wood beam accents that add warmth and character to the mountain aesthetic. The chef’s kitchen showcases custom cabinetry and elegant quartzite countertops. The great room anchored by a cozy fireplace and lined with a 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 and expansive open air deck and a Carolina living room porch complete with its own fireplace - perfect for enjoying cool mountain evenings and the surrounding beauty year-round. Estimated for June 2026 completion, 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.

    "It’s beautiful and appears to be a great place to raise a family. I used to come here as a child back in the 70’s with my parents and it’s still as I remember it. Quaint and beautiful. "

    "Great small town. Elevation 4000 feet plus. Friendly residents. Lots to do for a small town. A little pricy, but worth it. Great hiking and waterfalls galore. Dog friendly neighborhood and town."

  • Rick C.
    "There's no Wal-Mart or fast food joints. Life in the mountains has an easier pace. You are removed from the city, but that's why we live here, to get away from it all. There is a world class spa, fine dining on smaller scale, exquisite shops. Think Breckinridge, without the skiing.Beautiful mountains, hiking, mountain biking, floral life, live music, plays, wineries, what more do you want?"
