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!

    "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. "
  • Karie.mcclure
    "not sure only a renter at this point but love how safe And low key it is .. great weather as well nice people "
  • Pam
    "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."
  • Christine B.
    "It's a very friendly community. When the tourists come to town for the season it gets overcrowded but some non locals are really friendly. "
  • Bill B.
    "I live here and love the weather, hiking trails, water falls, and the National Forest. 4,118 feet elevation provides cool weather in the summer."
  • Susan C.
    "What a beautiful place to live ... there is nothing as peaceful or beautiful as the mountains and this lovely, quaint 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?"
  • carolrosen
    "Great area, lovely home, easy comfortable living"
  • John D.
    "A great place to spend the summer, and within walking distance to town."
  • Nadine P.
    "A wonderful community with a year round caretaker, pool, tennis courts and swimming pool plus it is gated. Certainly not a necessity in Highlands! I would recommend King Mtn to anyone looking for lush foliage, fantastic views and wonderful amenities."
  • Nadine P.
    "I have lived in Highlands, NC for 7 years and still upon returning from out of town get a peacefulness when I hit Main St or the Gorge Rd from Franklin. Prettiest place anywhere...you must visit!"
  • Dorothy S.
    "You will find that people are extremely friendly. We have four mild seasons. Winter is wonderful. Nothing is better than curling up with a book in front of a crackling fire."
