A LOW-MAINTENANCE MOUNTAIN RETREAT BETWEEN HIGHLANDS & CASHIERS
Spend less time maintaining a mountain home and more time enjoying it. Built in 2022, 61 Moonstone Loop offers the ease of newer construction, a lock-and-leave lifestyle and a peaceful mountain setting convenient to both Highlands and Cashiers.
Located near the top and back of Preserve at Whiteside Cliffs, the home enjoys mountain views and a quieter, more private setting than homes located lower within the community. Thoughtfully expanded to include two bedrooms, it offers valuable flexibility for family, guests or potential short-term rental use.
Inside, quartz countertops, pine shiplap walls, beamed ceilings, enhanced cabinetry and a generous pantry create a warm, polished mountain aesthetic. Additional features include a screened porch, full-size washer and dryer, automated window shades and valuable storage within the encapsulated crawl space.
Whether you're looking for a private mountain getaway, an easy-to-maintain second home or a property with rental flexibility, 61 Moonstone Loop offers an appealing alternative to the upkeep of a traditional mountain home. Short-term rentals are permitted, and many furnishings are included, making the transition to mountain living even easier.
From here, enjoy hiking, waterfalls, Lake Glenville and everything the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau has to offer—then come home to your own peaceful mountain retreat.
