Wildwood Mountain is a residential neighborhood off US Highway 64 between Highlands and Cashiers, about three miles from downtown Highlands. It has two entrances off the highway, wide paved roads, and an elevation above 4,000 feet that keeps summers cool. Homes sit on wooded lots, many of them level or gently sloping, with views of the woods, the water, and the mountains.
At the center of the neighborhood is Wildwood Lake, stocked for fishing and quiet enough for a canoe, plus a second pond. Residents also share a community tennis court, and the paved roads make for easy walks. There is no club and no required membership; amenities are maintained through the Wildwood Mountain Homeowners Association.
Wildwood Forest is a neighboring section with its own pond. It does not share Wildwood Mountain's tennis court or larger lake, and its cabins and cottages have the same wooded setting and easy drive into town.
Whiteside Mountain is less than three miles away, and Wildcat Cliffs and Cullasaja Club are close by. Highlands-Cashiers Hospital is about three miles away, and the Nantahala National Forest borders the area. Shopping and dining in both Highlands and Cashiers are an easy drive.
Most homes were built in the 1990s, with one-level cottages, cabins, and Tudor-style houses on lots of about one to one and a half acres. Homes and homesites here are generally priced well below the plateau's golf club communities, which makes Wildwood a popular choice for buyers who want a mountain home between the two towns without club dues.
