About This Home

As of September 2023

Only two homes perch inside the gates of Bear Shadow Ridge with an unobstructed view of Whiteside Mountain, the valley below and the image of the Bear Shadow in the spring and in the fall. This home is an exquisite embodiment of quality features throughout with antique hardwood floors, a gourmet kitchen, the primary bedroom on the main level with an enormous walk-in closet with a washer and dryer, and a luxurious bath. The main home has three generous guest suites up with a bonus apartment with full bath over the three-car garage. A sunroom and an outdoor deck provide immediate enjoyment of the Whiteside Mountain and Bear Shadow view. The "overlook" sits below this property where most visitors risk their lives to see this amazing view and unprecedented "Bear Shadow" viewing twice each year. This legendary event is so popular it is the subject of commercials on YouTube. But if you own this home, you can safely sit on your deck or look at your window and see this miracle of nature. The immaculate grounds provide a level backyard to walk your furry child. Quiet sophistication and high-end taste describe this family home conveniently located halfway between Highlands and Cashiers where in ten minutes you can enjoy the amenities of both communities. Close to country clubs, you can join the one of your choosing subject to club approval.
