About This Home

As of February 2025

Enjoy quick, convenient trips to both Highlands and Cashiers from Cold Springs Saddle and Tennis Club, tucked between both idyllic mountain towns. This beautifully renovated, “mountain chic” home features exterior cedar shake and board and batten siding for that classic cottage look. The roomy chef's kitchen provides a focal point for the home, with custom cabinetry, an expansive island, and a Bertazzoni gas range with six burners, a griddle, and a side-by-side double oven. In the living room, beautiful wood beams contribute to the cozy atmosphere. New owners will appreciate the privacy of a primary bedroom on the main level, with two bedrooms upstairs and additional space downstairs. Designer wallpaper in the home's bathrooms contributes to its charm. Outside, relax on the covered porch or explore the large, near-level backyard. Storage abounds in this home, from the two-car garage to the downstairs workshop, and the low-maintenance landscaping creates a worry-free lifestyle. This home was extensively updated from 2022 to 2023, with renovations including the following: a new roof, windows, HVAC system, exterior doors, interior floors, kitchen cabinets, tankless water heater, window treatments, exterior lights, landscaping, all appliances, and interior and exterior paint. The plumbing and electrical systems were overhauled, and the owners added a fireplace, a new front porch, and a covered deck. The bathrooms were also renovated at this time, the circular driveway was freshly paved, and a large 37 ft x 10 ft addition was created to expand the kitchen and dining area. Cold Springs amenities include tennis courts and a stocked private lake. The equestrian in your family will love the pastures and stables for horses, plus community access to miles of USFS trails adjoining the property!
