70 Cottonwood Drive lot: 50

NO DRIVE-BYS, PLEASE REACH OUT FOR AN APPOINTMENT. HOME IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Introducing 70 Cottonwood Drive, a new-construction home along the Highlands-Cashiers corridor. Estimated for completion in Fall 2026, this residence offers 3 beds, 3.5 baths, main-level living, seasonal views toward Shortoff Mountain, and 1.47 unrestricted acres with future-use potential. Set in a private wooded setting, the home's bark siding, board-and-batten exterior, heavy timber accents, and covered entry give it the character of an established Highlands cottage with the comfort and efficiency of new construction. Inside, the open living area connects the kitchen, dining space, and great room. The kitchen features a Wolf dual-fuel range with handcrafted hood, Viking refrigerator, KitchenAid dishwasher and microwave, and custom cabinetry. Beyond the kitchen is a scullery and laundry room with cabinetry, countertops, sink, washer and dryer, and exterior entrance. The main level also includes a wet bar with wine cooler and sink, powder room, and great room featuring a stone-surround gas fireplace, wood beams, shiplap detailing, hardwood floors, and expansive windows overlooking the wooded mountain setting. The main-level primary suite includes a walk-in closet, private bath with walk-in shower and well-appointed vanity, and direct access to the covered porch. Accessible from the great room, the porch provides inviting outdoor living for enjoying the cool mountain air. Upstairs, a handcrafted wood staircase with distinctive custom railings leads to a versatile loft between two private guest suites, each with its own full bath. The loft offers space for a media or recreation area, reading nook, home office, or gathering space. Planned native landscaping, terraced boulder accents, a backyard stream, and circular gravel driveway complement the natural setting. A second gravel driveway provides access to the encapsulated walk-in crawlspace, additional parking, and storage. The unrestricted property offers potential for short-term rental use, subject to applicable regulations and permitting. A completed survey for potential subdivision, if pursued by the buyer and approved by the appropriate authorities, could create an additional homesite. This home combines distinctive architectural character, quality new construction, covered outdoor living, private guest accommodations, and future-use potential between the Highlands and Cashiers corridor.
