I am excited to share a, convenient to town, new listing, located in the sought-after Mirror Lake area of Highlands, NC. This turnkey, two-bedroom, both with private ensuite, mountain treehouse perfectly blends modern comforts an classic charm.
The exterior features cedar shake siding, a large partially covered rear deck, and fire pit area. There are steps leading from parking areas both above and below creating ample space for vehicles for owners and their guests. The soothing sounds of the Mirror Lake waterfall dam, and the tree top canopy the cabin is situated in truly creates a restful getaway.
Upon entering, you will notice high-end stainless steel appliances, vaulted exposed wood ceilings, as well as a smart use of space planning. The bathrooms have been newly renovated too!
This property has a proven rental history and is ideally suited as a second home or weekend retreat. Located close to the heart of town, enjoy ease of access to culinary experiences, shopping, The Spa at Old Edwards Inn, 9 miles of pristine Highlands’ Greenway trails, Biological Station, and the Highlands’ Recreation Center including Pickleball & Tennis Courts, Pool, Park, and Dog Park.
