About 53 Rocky Top Dr

Set among the ridgelines where nature's story unfolds daily, the secluded Grove Cottage invites you to embrace mountain living at its finest. This is a special opportunity to own a "Southern Living" home plan, a distinctive residence on Rocky Top Drive, which sits on 2.83+/- acres of thoughtfully landscaped grounds, offering northwestern vistas of Sheepcliff Mountain, in the Cedar Hill Community just minutes from Cashiers downtown, Ingles and the crossroads. The property's narrative is enhanced by beautiful landscaping that frames the cottage with seasonal color and texture, while a gentle creek meanders through the grounds—its melodic whispers providing nature's own soundtrack to your mountain retreat. Here, seclusion isn't merely a feature but a cherished gift, offering refuge from life's constant demands. Arrive via a winding approach to discover ample level parking—a prized amenity in our mountain terrain. The screened front porch welcomes with its ceremonial swing, where morning coffee and a book becomes a ritual. The evening conversations flow as freely as the nearby creek waters. Inside, warm hardwood floors create a foundation for living spaces that speak to craftsmanship and intention. The kitchen showcases honey-colored cabinetry that brings warmth to gatherings, while built-in shelving throughout offers both practical storage and thoughtful display for treasured collections. French doors lead to a generous deck designed for al fresco dining against the backdrop of your private mountain domain. Here, surrounded by acres of natural beauty, you'll find yourself hosting gatherings that transform into cherished memories against nature's ever-changing canvas. The buyer has a great opportunity to buy a separate lot that is adjoining to either increase their privacy or build an additional residence. Grove Cottage represents an opportunity to become not just a property owner, but a steward of mountain heritage—where family traditions take root among ancient hardwoods, landscaped gardens bloom with the seasons, and the gentle creek marks time's passage through your own piece of Blue Ridge paradise. https://youtu.be/ZKAScEV2X5s
