It's called Forest Trail for a reason. Surrounding the prestigious Cold Springs Saddle & Tennis Club — and this residence — are national forest, hiking trails, a well-stocked trout stream and lake, plus the pristine horse pastures. Beyond the trees stands the crown jewel of the community — a home reimagined through a comprehensive, designer-led renovation. Light pours through fresh, open rooms dressed in curated, high-end finishes: wide-plank white oak floors, honed soapstone, crisp white shiplap, and beamed ceilings, all in a palette that feels warm, current, and quietly luxurious. Outside, an equally tasteful landscape plan — quintessentially "Highlands Style" — blends into the sloping terrain, which gives way to a rare, large flat backyard set just off the home's two expansive covered balconies. With generous living space that flows effortlessly from hearth to covered deck, this home lives as beautifully as it looks — across two full levels, inside and out. The main level is a true retreat: a stone fireplace, a chef's galley kitchen with custom banquette, dining for twelve if needed, an open family room, a double garage, a full covered deck, guest quarters, and a serene primary suite. The bright, airy lower level opens with a grand club room — big enough for a full media lounge and a pool table — that spills onto a large lower-level balcony and out to the backyard for a game of croquet, plus another large bedroom and a bonus flex room or easily transformed into an optional 4th bedroom. Furniture does not convey, however; it is negotiable. Walk to the canoe and kayak dock, fly fish from the island, keep your horses on-site in a private stable, and experience quietude like never before — all just ten minutes and under three miles from downtown Highlands.

The kitchen is a chef’s delight, equipped with high-end appliances, a generous island, and ample storage. Perhaps the most cherished feature of this residence is its integration with the outdoors. The spacious porch serves as an idyllic sanctuary for enjoying the sunrise, hosting an al fresco dinner, or unwinding in the evening beside the outdoor fireplace. With its prime location directly overlooking the number 12 and 17 greens, this home captures the serene essence of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau. The thoughtful layout offers room for everyone, including a lower-level living area that provides a perfect space for overnight guests. The quality of this home begins when you enter through the custom Alder wood door, and your view is drawn to the craftsmanship of the Douglas fir timber frame family room. Exterior is stone with clad casement Windows. Whether you are enjoying the quiet privacy of the trees or entertaining friends and family, this mountain retreat is a true legacy property. Membership to the Old Edwards Club at Highlands Cove—featuring an 18-hole Tom Jackson-designed course, heated mineral pool, fitness center, and clay tennis courts—is available through a separate application process.
