Mountain Luxury Meets Club Lifestyle in Cullasaja
Experience the very best of mountain living in this beautifully crafted four-bedroom residence within the prestigious Cullasaja Club, where timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and an unparalleled lifestyle come together.
Designed for both everyday comfort and gracious entertaining, the home welcomes you with soaring vaulted and beamed ceilings anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling native stone fireplace. Expansive windows frame peaceful mountain views while filling the great room with natural light, creating a warm and inviting gathering space.
The thoughtfully designed floor plan offers four private ensuite bedrooms, including an exceptional primary suite featuring its own adjoining office and sunroom—a quiet retreat for reading, working remotely, or simply enjoying the changing seasons. The spacious kitchen is complemented by a convenient butler's pantry, providing abundant storage and effortless entertaining.
Outdoor living is equally impressive. A private screened porch with its own stone fireplace invites year-round enjoyment, while the expansive rear deck overlooks beautifully landscaped grounds and the surrounding mountain scenery. Whether hosting family and friends or enjoying a peaceful morning coffee, every outdoor space has been designed to embrace the natural beauty of Highlands.
Life in Cullasaja Club extends well beyond the home. Members enjoy one of the Highlands Plateau's premier private club experiences, centered around an Arnold Palmer-designed golf course, exceptional dining, tennis, croquet, wellness facilities, swimming, and an active calendar of social events—all set within one of the region's most picturesque mountain communities. The club is known for its welcoming atmosphere, personalized service, and generations of families returning each season to enjoy cool mountain summers and an exceptional quality of life.
Just minutes from charming downtown Highlands, you'll enjoy award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, art galleries, live theater, waterfalls, hiking trails, and countless outdoor adventures. Here, every day offers the opportunity to embrace the relaxed elegance that has made Highlands one of the Southeast's most sought-after mountain destinations.
This is more than a beautiful home—it's an invitation to experience a mountain lifestyle where luxury, nature, and lifelong memories come together.
