Whether you're seeking a seasonal escape or a year-round retreat, this thoughtfully designed home delivers comfort, beauty, and low-maintenance living in one of the Plateau's most desirable locations.

Additional features include a separate laundry area and generous lower-level storage, adding practicality to the home's charm. Set on 1.5 gently sloping acres, the property offers exceptional privacy, easy maintenance, and ample parking.
Perfectly positioned between Cashiers and Highlands, you'll enjoy convenient access to renowned dining, boutique shopping, hiking, waterfalls, and a vibrant arts scene.
