A Home for all Seasons, Blair Realty

Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2018/03 - March

The bright sun reflected strongly off the newly fallen snow.  Every room in the house was bathed in the sun’s warm glow.  The gentle fire warmed the hearth of the native stone fireplace that reaches skyward through the cathedral ceiling.  Timber frame beams, hardwood floors and windows galore create a casual mountain ambience at its finest. 

With coffee in hand, it’s time to grab a book and snuggle into an easy chair in the Reading Nook just off the Dining Room for a relaxing morning.  It won’t be long before spring will arrive and the schedule once again will be packed with golf and tennis, hiking and visits from family and friends.  Oh, the many cherished memories that are a part of our time here.   

Located at Wildcat Cliffs Country Club, equidistant between Highlands and Cashiers, we are surrounded by the beauty of nature.  Whether enjoying all the amenities of the club or venturing out to nearby venues across the Plateau, fine dining, exciting shopping, the arts, there’s so much just minutes away. 

Architect Tim Greene is well known for carefully-planned homes that maximize every square foot.  His carefully-considered floor plan is warm and welcoming for groups of all sizes.  Nestled on a two-plus acre lot among native flora and fauna with views of the lake, mountain peaks and golf greens, this home blends well with its surroundings.  Blossoms of varied hues dot the landscape throughout the growing season.   

The spacious Owner’s Suite forms the perfect cocoon when there’s a need to relax and revive.  French doors to the veranda swing open to allow song birds to supplant the buzz of the alarm clock.  A sumptuous Master Bath, large walk-in closet and a “Tree House” Office-Reading Nook complete this private enclave.  No need to feel guilty in this personal spa.  Your guests have equally luxurious digs in the two Guest Suites at the other end of the house.  Each large light-filled bedroom includes a reading alcove, a nice closet and private bath.   

Fret not when friends and family gravitate to your kitchen.  This home’s large granite-capped central island provides work area for multiple sous chefs plus the perfect spot for everyone to grab a casual meal.  Organize all your treasured china and kitchen gadgets in the scads of cabinets and large pantry.  The full line of premier appliances is supplemented by an under-counter wine cooler.        

The gently-rolling yard and large parking pad provide youngsters with play area extraordinaire.  Enjoy the large double car garage and additional golf cart storage.  Owners of this home enjoy membership in the 80-member Lake Club – the perfect summer retreat.  To claim this home for your family, call Margaret or Blair Heinlein at Blair Realty at (828) 526-9155.  For more details about this home or any of the other beautiful homes at Wildcat Cliffs Country Club, visit blair-realty.com.
