Welcome to 230 Rock Face Trail, where thoughtful design, inviting spaces, and long-range mountain views come together. Designed by architect Jeffrey Dungan, this single-level Low Country XL sits within The Preserve at Whiteside Cliffs, perfectly positioned between Highlands and Cashiers. The sweeping mountain views are the heart of this home. From Black Rock across the valley to Whiteside Mountain, the landscape stretches as far as you can see. Expansive windows bring the scenery indoors, while a wide deck — newly refinished in summer 2026 — runs across the main level and connects by catwalk to the primary bedroom. Step outside from either end of the cottage and enjoy a front-row seat to unforgettable sunrises, sunsets, and views that change with every season. Below, stone steps lead from the main porch to a covered outdoor living area that the owners added. This comfortable retreat is certain to become a favorite gathering place for morning coffee, evening cocktails, and quiet afternoons surrounded by nature. Inside, every square foot has been considered. Cathedral ceilings, engineered oak floors, quartz counters, aluminum-clad Ply Gem windows, and Mitsubishi mini-splits. The result is elegant and relaxed at once, refined while completely at home in the mountains. The lower level has been leveled and poured with a concrete floor, and currently serves as a mudroom and laundry. It is a perfect place to clean and store equipment for hiking, fishing, and other outdoor pursuits. Not finished space, though the groundwork is in place, should a future owner want to make it into something more. The drive is built on a TruGrid system with a stone border and a flagstone apron where it meets the pavement. Fresh landscaping throughout, with paved roads, underground utilities, and fiber.
