Amenities
Tucked behind the gates of Wildcat Cliffs Country Club, this extraordinary 4-bedroom, 4.5-bath Craftsman retreat has been completely renovated and professionally redesigned, blending timeless craftsmanship with refined mountain luxury. Offered fully furnished, this turnkey residence captures Ralph Lauren style paired with sophisticated modern mountain living.
The result is a home worthy of Architectural Digest, yet warm and perfectly suited to life in Highlands. From the road, the home is understated, but once inside it unfolds beautifully, revealing spacious living areas designed for family and friends. The great room impresses with vaulted ceilings, a dramatic new stone fireplace, custom wainscoting, and walls of glass framing lake and long-range mountain views.
A hidden equipment room behind a discreet panel beside the fireplace keeps technology out of sight. Designed for entertaining, the chef's kitchen features a 60-inch Wolf range, Bosch dishwasher, custom cabinetry, and generous gathering space. Just off the kitchen is a dedicated bar room reminiscent of the iconic "Cheers," flowing into the open dining room and expansive covered terrace.
Outside, enjoy a second masonry fireplace, outdoor television, infrared heaters, and stylish furnishings, all overlooking lush perennial gardens to create a true four-season outdoor living space. The main-level primary suite is wrapped in glass with spectacular views, separate his-and-her closets, and a spa-inspired bath where the soaking tub overlooks the gardens and mountains beyond.
A second main-level en-suite evokes the timeless comfort and style of a Ralph Lauren mountain retreat. The lower level offers a media room with built-in Murphy beds, a temperature-controlled wine room, private fitness room (equipment excluded), and a hand-built trail leading to a hidden cave, a feature rarely found in Highlands.
Designed for the country club lifestyle, the oversized two-bay golf cart garage features dual garage doors with abundant space for multiple golf carts, clubs, and all your golfing gear. The clubhouse is just a short cart ride away. Wildcat Cliffs Country Club offers championship golf, croquet, pickleball, a renovated fitness center with indoor pool
, stocked fishing ponds, scenic walking trails, fire pits, and an exceptionally welcoming membership community. (Club membership is by invitation and subject to approval.) This is more than a beautifully renovated home. It is a thoughtfully curated mountain retreat
