95 Sanctuary View Trail lot: 11

Welcome to The Sanctuary at Whiteside Cove - where one of Western North Carolina's most iconic natural landmarks becomes the backdrop of your everyday life. Perched within an exclusive enclave halfway between Highlands and Cashiers, this contemporary mountain residence offers breathtaking, unobstructed views of Whiteside Mountain's magnificent granite face, one of the tallest sheer cliffs in the Eastern United States. From the moment you pass through the stone-pillared entrance of The Sanctuary, the drama of the surrounding landscape sets the tone for what awaits. This architectural gem masterfully blends rustic warmth with sophisticated design - reclaimed wood siding, bold black metal roofing, and soaring gabled forms that feel right at home against the mountain skyline. Inside, the open-concept main level is designed to bring the outdoors in, with soaring ceilings and expansive walls of glass that frame those extraordinary Whiteside Mountain views like living art. Natural light floods the great room, where the seamless flow between the kitchen, dining area, and living space makes entertaining effortless. Step outside to the covered outdoor living area, anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and let the views of those ancient granite cliffs take center stage through every season. The main-level primary suite is nothing short of spectacular - wake each morning to the sight of Whiteside Mountain bathed in golden light, then retreat to an ensuite bath appointed with premium fixtures and finishes. Upstairs, a generous guest suite with a private bath ensures your visitors enjoy those same glorious mountain views. Additional thoughtful details include a powder room, welcoming entry foyer, and an efficient layout that maximizes both comfort and functionality. This is one of just eleven modern mountain residences within The Sanctuary at Whiteside Cove, a community that integrates seamlessly with its pristine natural surroundings and offers direct access to scenic hiking trails - including those that lead to Whiteside Mountain itself. Here, contemporary elegance meets mountain majesty in an intimate enclave where every element has been curated to deepen your connection to the timeless beauty of Whiteside Cove.
