About This Home

As of March 2025

A gardener's delight with mountain and golf views, this beautiful cottage located in Old Edwards Club at Highlands Cove offers everything you could wish for in a mountain dream home. Sip your morning coffee on the screened porch while you light a fire to take the chill from the air. On rainy days, the wet weather stream alongside the home supplies a peaceful burbling soundtrack while you relax into your day. This three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home features an open floor plan with extra space for an office or a variety of other uses. As you enter, notice the vaulted ceiling accented with beams, the stone fireplace, and the open, airy ambiance that calls you in. The current owner purchased the home in 2017 and has meticulously and lovingly upgraded it, adding numerous luxurious touches throughout the property. With luscious wool carpet underfoot, Hunter Douglas shades, and custom window treatments in the primary suite and office, you will feel enveloped in luxury. The kitchen is a chef's delight with all the modern necessities for everyday cooking and entertaining. Tucked away near the kitchen, the laundry room provides easy access to the pantry. Guests will enjoy maximum privacy with ensuite bathrooms in all bedrooms, plus access to the lower covered porch. From the porch, proceed along the stone path that leads around the beautifully landscaped sides and back of the cottage. The enclosed garage features a large storage room and attic storage to keep all those seasonal items safely tucked away. In 2020, the exterior of the home was improved with re-stained decks, shingles, and exterior wood. The owner, an avid gardener, added stone steps and incredible landscaping that make this property truly one-of-a-kind in The Cottages at Highlands Cove. This home represents a true showcase of love and devotion to upscale mountain living in one of the finest communities on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau.
