About This Home

As of January 2026

Situated on a quiet cul-de-sac near the front of Wildcat Cliffs Country Club, this striking Jim Fox–designed home blends architectural character with the beauty of its mountain setting. From the moment you enter through the grand double doors, your gaze is drawn through the wood-lined foyer to breathtaking mountain views that set the tone for the entire home. The main living area is designed for both comfort and connection. Vaulted wood ceilings, rich terracotta floors, and a dramatic stone fireplace create a warm gathering place, while expansive sliding glass doors open onto a multi-tiered deck that feels like an extension of the living space. Whether you’re savoring the cool mountain air on a summer afternoon or hosting friends under a canopy of stars, this outdoor retreat is a highlight. The two-sided fireplace provides a seamless transition to the dining area, perfect for enjoying fireside dinners with the mountains as your backdrop. The spacious kitchen is ideal for entertaining, with a breakfast nook and a cheerful sunroom that invite natural light throughout the day. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat, complete with dual bathrooms and dual closets for convenience and privacy. A cozy den with hardwood floors and ceilings, plus its own fireplace offers another inviting spot to relax with a good book or a glass of wine by the fire. Downstairs, three guest bedrooms and a large game room offer plenty of space for family and friends to gather. The oversized guest suite, complete with fireplace and sitting area, ensures visitors feel as pampered as the hosts. A terrace-level deck brings the mountain setting even closer, perfect for morning coffee or evening conversations. Living in Wildcat Cliffs Country Club offers much more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. With membership (required with ownership and subject to club approval), you’ll enjoy championship golf, a state-of-the-art fitness center, tennis, dining, and a vibrant social community. Best of all, the club’s enviable location places you just minutes from the charming boutiques, restaurants, and cultural life of Highlands, as well as the relaxed atmosphere of Cashiers. Here, you’re truly in the heart of the plateau.
