The community was thoughtfully created around its natural surroundings, offering miles of opportunities to explore the mountains through hiking, fishing, canoeing, UTV, and equestrian trails. Residents also enjoy an impressive collection of amenities, including pickleball, a fitness room, a driving range, a clubhouse, and numerous gathering and recreation areas throughout the community. Despite its peaceful setting, Chinquapin is just minutes from Cashiers and its acclaimed dining, shopping, art, music, and seasonal events. Whether enjoyed as a private mountain getaway, an income-producing retreat, or a combination of both, this Nature’s Walk cottage offers a rare opportunity to experience the adventure, beauty, and relaxed sophistication of life in the mountains.
