Description

Welcome to 61 Moonstone Loop, a beautifully furnished mountain cottage in the sought-after Preserve at Whiteside Cliffs. Built in 2022, this thoughtfully updated property, with expansive views of Whiteside Mountain, offers the perfect combination of mountain lifestyle, low-maintenance ownership, and investment potential.
Whether you're looking for a private vacation retreat, a full-time residence, or a short-term rental opportunity, this home offers exceptional flexibility. Short-term rentals are permitted, making it an attractive option for owners seeking personal enjoyment and income-producing potential.
Ideally located almost equidistant between Highlands and Cashiers, you’ll enjoy convenient access to the dining, shopping, galleries, festivals, and community events that make both mountain towns premier destinations. Situated along one of the most scenic drives on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau, the home is surrounded by some of Western North Carolina's most beloved outdoor attractions.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Whiteside Mountain Trail, Glen Falls, Dry Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Secret Falls, Panthertown Valley, Yellow Mountain Trail, Silver Run Falls, the Chattooga River, and Lake Glenville, where boating, fishing, paddling, and swimming opportunities abound.
After a day of exploring, return to a beautiful retreat featuring mountain views, inviting outdoor living spaces, and the comfort of modern construction, with all furnishings being negotiable. 61 Moonstone Loop is a rare opportunity to own a mountain getaway that combines lifestyle, location, and investment potential in one exceptional package.
The home has been expanded to include a second bedroom (primary) on the main floor, which includes a walk-in closet and direct access to the side deck. The additional bedroom features a built-in Murphy bed and desk.
Quality finishes throughout, including quartz countertops, pine shiplap walls, beamed ceilings, enhanced cabinetry, including a large pantry, a stackable, full-size washer and dryer, and automated window shades.
This is one of the few Low Country homes in the community to feature a screened-in back porch, while the crawl space has been encapsulated and expanded for additional clearance, allowing plenty of room for kayaks, bikes, etc. With all furnishings being negotiable, this is a great opportunity for a lock-and-leave vacation property, potential investment property, or both.

We estimate this home will sell faster than 96% nearby.

"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?"
