MOTIVATED SELLERS; BRING ALL OFFERS! Whether you're looking for a private vacation retreat, a full-time residence, or a short-term rental opportunity, this home offers exceptional flexibility. Short-term rentals are permitted, making it an attractive option for owners seeking personal enjoyment and income-producing potential.
The home is located at the highest point in the community, affording fantastic views and a sense of peacefulness, privacy, and space that is not enjoyed by other homes situated lower in the neighborhood.
Almost equidistant between Highlands and Cashiers, this ideal location provides convenient access to the dining, shopping, galleries, festivals, and community events that make both mountain towns premier destinations. Situated along one of the most scenic drives on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau, the home is surrounded by some of Western North Carolina's most beloved outdoor attractions.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to Whiteside Mountain Trail, Glen Falls, Dry Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, Secret Falls, Panthertown Valley, Yellow Mountain Trail, Silver Run Falls, the Chattooga River, and Lake Glenville, where boating, fishing, paddling, and swimming opportunities abound.
After a day of exploring, return to a beautiful retreat featuring mountain views, inviting outdoor living spaces, and the comfort of modern construction. 61 Moonstone Loop is a rare opportunity to own a mountain getaway that combines lifestyle, location, and investment potential in one exceptional package.
The home has been expanded to include a second bedroom (primary) on the main floor, which includes a walk-in closet and direct access to the side deck. The additional bedroom features a built-in Murphy bed and desk.
Quality finishes throughout, including quartz countertops, pine shiplap walls, beamed ceilings, enhanced cabinetry, including a large pantry, a stackable, full-size washer and dryer, and automated window shades.
This is one of the few Low Country homes in the community to feature a screened-in back porch, while the crawl space has been encapsulated and expanded for additional clearance, allowing plenty of room for kayaks, bikes, etc. This is a great opportunity for a lock-and-leave vacation property, potential investment property, or both.
