This 5.69-acre property in Holly Berry Estates offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and long-term potential in one of the Plateau’s most quietly desirable settings between Cashiers and Highlands. Set within this private 430-acre community at the base of Whiteside Mountain, the land reflects everything buyers come to expect at this elevation — around 3,300 feet — mature hardwood forest, natural rock features, and a peaceful mountain backdrop with strong upside for selective clearing. Views are possible with thoughtful trimming, allowing the landscape to open up without sacrificing the wooded seclusion that makes the setting feel so private. Ownership in Holly Berry Estates includes deeded access to two private lakes, reserved exclusively for residents and ideal for fishing, swimming, canoeing, and other non-motorized boating. Combined with the community’s trail system and nearby National Forest access, the recreation footprint here is significant without ever feeling crowded or commercial. Convenience is another quiet advantage. The community sits roughly midway between Cashiers and Highlands — a short drive to either — placing dining, shopping, and club amenities within easy reach while keeping day-to-day life firmly in a low-density, mountain-quiet environment. In the broader Plateau context, this is exactly the type of land buyers consistently prioritize: acreage, strong privacy, recreational amenities, and proximity to both Highlands and Cashiers without being in the middle of either. Overall, it’s a straightforward opportunity with real flexibility — hold it as a private retreat, or shape it over time into something with more defined views and presence.
