Finally, a property designed with a creative touch, live-ability, and nature all rolled into one! Nestled on just over half an acre within the gated community of Highlands Falls Country Club, this beautifully updated four-bedroom, three-bath mountain retreat offers the perfect balance of timeless character and contemporary comfort. Surrounded by mature hardwoods, the home welcomes you through a charming stone courtyard framed by antique French doors, creating an unforgettable first impression. Thoughtful recent upgrades—including a new standing seam metal roof, new gutters, and updated windows—enhance both the home's appeal and long-term value.
Designed for both entertaining and everyday living, the main level features an airy, open floor plan centered around a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Expansive windows flood the home with natural light while remote-controlled shades provide effortless privacy. Multiple seating areas create inviting spaces to gather, and the dining area flows seamlessly onto the upper deck for indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen is thoughtfully positioned to remain connected to the main living spaces while maintaining its own sense of function and privacy.
The main-level primary suite provides a peaceful retreat with a spacious ensuite bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking jetted tub, and a separate walk-in shower. Upstairs, two guest bedrooms share a full bath, while two additional loft areas offer exceptional flexibility for a home office, reading nook, media room, exercise space, or studio.
The lower level is ideal for hosting family and friends, offering a second living area anchored by another stone fireplace, a kitchenette, an additional guest suite with a full bath, and direct access to the lower deck, where a queen-sized swing bed invites you to relax among the trees.
Memberships to Highlands Falls Country Club are not required, but applications are available. BONUS: Established Rental Revenue History 2020-present all within HFCC rental policy. As you can see, this property offers exceptional versatility as a full-time residence, seasonal mountain escape, or investment opportunity.
Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Highlands, you'll enjoy easy access to the area's celebrated dining, shopping, hiking trails, and outdoor recreation.
