Renovated Wildcat Cliffs Mountain Home with Detached Guest Suite
This custom Whiteside Mountain residence delivers designer finishes, wide mountain views and turnkey country-club living in Wildcat Cliffs. Meticulously expanded and renovated in 2013 by a noted Atlanta interior designer, the home opens into a dramatic two-story great room framed by a wall of glass — an ideal setting for gatherings and quiet evenings alike. Hardwood floors flow through the main living areas where a fireplace anchors comfortable seating and an adjacent family/TV room provides flexible living space.
The custom kitchen is appointed with top-tier appliances including a gas cooktop, double oven and ice maker, plus a large pantry that easily supports full-service entertaining. The main level primary suite is private and generous, featuring a grand bath and abundant closet storage. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms, two full baths and a versatile office/nursery — perfect for family use or remote work. Laundry on the main level and thoughtful built-ins add daily convenience.
A standout feature is the detached two-car garage outfitted with a full guest suite — complete kitchen, living/bedroom and bath — ideal for long-term guests, live-in help or short-term rental income (confirm club and local restrictions). Outside, the grounds are fully landscaped with irrigation, landscape lighting and a generator for peace of mind. Utilities include public water plus a private well, sewer availability, electricity and propane.
Offered unfurnished and in move-in condition at $2,750,000, 592 Whiteside Mountain Road is a rare combination of designer interiors, practical guest accommodations and membership access to Wildcat Cliffs Country Club.

A factual market snapshot around 592 Whiteside Mountain Rd.
Highlands is a seasonal, high-amenity mountain market where inventory under $1M moves quickly while the luxury segment (>$1.5M) is smaller and buyer-driven. Demand is concentrated among second-home buyers and country-club members from Atlanta, Charlotte and Greenville; this leads to strong interest in turnkey, well-appointed properties offering privacy and amenities. Median sale price across the town skews lower than this listing, but this property sits in the premium Wildcat Cliffs enclave where lot quality, views and a detached guest suite materially affect value. Because luxury listings can experience extended marketing times and are sensitive to pricing, a clear, targeted campaign to regional broker networks and club members will optimize exposure. Recent local appreciation has been modest; buyer pools are active but selective, so emphasize the designer renovation, guest suite flexibility and move-in readiness in all marketing.
Likely residential single-family (county zoning) — conservative assumption based on surrounding parcels and country club neighborhood.
