Preserve at Rock Creek Map
Preserve at Rock Creek is a mountaintop property that rests on the southern face of Toxaway Mountain, also called Hogback Mountain. Toxaway Mountain is one of the highest peaks in the Highlands/Cashiers/Sapphire/Lake Toxaway area, with an elevation reaching almost 4,800 feet. Therefore, Preserve at Rock Creek is the highest privately-owned mountain in the area. According to Mark Meadows, a leading broker in the area, our views are "better than 99% of any views in this area."
Lodge at Toxaway Mountain
The history of Toxaway Mountain is quite interesting, very rich, and deep. In the early 1900's, The Lodge was part of the Toxaway Systems of Hotels and served multiple functions. It was a "Nature Kindergarten" for children in the area to learn about the environment and the animals that live there. In addition, it also provided lodging for hunting and recreation for prominent industrialists from the north, including the Rockefellers, Vanderbilts, Edisons, Fords, and others.
Preserve at Rock Creek's entrance begins on Hwy 64 and goes all the way to the top of the mountain. West Whitetail Drive bisects the property into two sides, with a southerly exposure of both southeast and southwest. The long-range mountain views are incredible, some with panoramic views up to 180 degrees.
Southeast View From the Preserve
The view is southeasterly for the lots to the right of West Whitetail Drive (facing the property from Hwy 64). These properties showcase beautiful morning sunrises, often referred to by us as the "coffee view". These views have Sapphire Lake, Burlingame Country Club, and Gorges State Park in the foreground with layers of mountain reaching into the foothills of South Carolina in the background. Included in the view are Lake Jocassee, Lake Keowee, and Lake Hartwell, as well as the communities of Pickens, Walhala, Clemson University, and sometimes even the Greenville/Spartanburg area. On a clear day you can see up to 70 miles.
Southwestern Sunset from the Preserve
The view is southwesterly for the lots to the left of West Whitetail Drive. These properties experience breathtaking sunsets. We call these views "cocktail views". They are long and varied and extend into North Georgia. Included in these views are Baldrock Mountain, Rock Mountain, and the more prominent mountains, Chimneytop and Whiteside Mountain. Chimneytop rises above the High Hampton Inn and Wade Hampton Country Club in Cashiers. Whiteside Mountain is located towards Highlands and is purported to be one on the oldest mountains in the country.
It all starts with the land. Toxaway Mountain cannot be replicated and there is only one. It is because of the scarcity factor and the uniqueness of this mountain that the Preserve at Rock Creek is unmatched and above anything else in the Highlands/Cashiers/Sapphire/Toxaway area.
