Carefree Living at Whiteside

Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2017/10 - October

The translucent beauty of the mountains surrounds this immaculate home, conveniently located equidistant between Highlands and Cashiers at the prestigious Wildcat Cliffs Country Club.   Enjoy carefree living at the base of Whiteside mountain whether you’re golfing, playing tennis or croquet, or just strolling the many walking trails that traverse this classic mountain golf community. At 4250-foot elevation, the gentle mountain breezes stir the trees, chasing away the heat of the summer sun.

Constructed less than a decade ago by one of the area’s premier builders, this home embodies quality craftsmanship and a sense of style found in few homes today.  Open and airy, filled with light, resting atop a knoll overlooking the 16th hole and the #18 fairway, this home is like a statue commanding your eye in a European city.  Savor the beauty of the meticulously manicured lawn where vibrant blossoms of seasonal flowers draw your eye as blooms from Monet’s garden. 

 Move freely through this house as the day progresses.  Enjoy coffee or a casual meal around the breakfast table overlooking the back garden.  Settle into a comfortable wicker chair on the screened porch with your favorite book.  Catch a few z’s there before embarking on the more strenuous activities of the day.  With fall here, you may light a low fire in the fireplace to chase away Autumn’s chill.  As night time approaches stroll out to the deck to follow the sun as it slides behind the distant mountains.  Enjoy your favorite cocktail before dinner, or coffee and dessert as the stars fill the sky.      

Entertaining family and friends in the expansive Great Room with stone fireplace and cypress ceiling is always a treat.  Intimate gatherings for two or family get-togethers including multiple generations, never fear – this home is right for families of all sizes.  The open floor plan means that you are always a part of the action.  Family memories abound as you share meals together around the large banquet table.  The youngsters love to beat the grands at the game table.  Share the day’s adventures snuggled in your favorite chair. The warm glow of hardwood floors adds to the casual sophistication of this mountain retreat.

Chefs of all skill levels will feel right at home in this strategically-designed Kitchen with large central island and cabinetry aplenty.  A dual fuel range, ice maker and wine cooler complete the complement of premier appliances.

Completing the main floor are two magnificent suites – one for you the homeowner; the other for your guests.  Heated tile floors and instant hot water pamper you in style.  The two suites located on the upper level are just as comforting.  Let the youngsters enjoy the media room there while you slip into your home office to peruse those pesky emails or that text from the office.
