354 Flat Mountain Estates Road, Highlands, NC 28741

The best mountain memories are often made in the unplanned moments: coffee on the porch, dinner prepared together and stories shared around the fire as evening settles over the mountains. Set on just over one private acre with lovely long-range views, this four-bedroom, four-bath home offers a comfortable setting for those moments to unfold. The fully screened porch is designed to be enjoyed throughout the day. Its outdoor kitchen includes a gas grill and Big Green Egg, while the gas fire pit invites everyone to linger after dinner. It is easy to imagine children and grandchildren gathering here, laughing, telling stories and enjoying the kind of simple fun that never goes out of style. Inside, vaulted ceilings and natural light give the home an open, welcoming feel. New flooring throughout the main level adds a fresh, updated look. The well-appointed kitchen features quality appliances and a wine refrigerator, with an easy connection to the living and dining areas for everyday meals and relaxed entertaining. The main-level primary suite provides a peaceful place to begin and end the day. Its bath includes a claw-foot tub and zero-entry shower. Custom metal railings lead to a lower level designed for fun and relaxation. Challenge friends to a game of pool, pour a favorite bottle at the wet bar or settle into the movie room, complete with a large-screen television and surround sound. Two additional bedrooms and baths ensure that family and friends always have a comfortable place to stay. This is a home where doors open easily to the outdoors and gathering spaces invite people to stay awhile. Whether enjoyed as a quiet mountain retreat or a place filled with family and friends, it offers the opportunity to slow down, reconnect and create traditions that can be carried forward for generations.
