86 High Gate Drive, Highlands, NC 28741

The second offering at 1875 is underway on Lot 5, a beautifully crafted multi-textured stone flanked modern 4,197 square foot residence that artfully blends rustic character with refined mountain elegance. Masterful craftmanship, care and meticulous detailing abound throughout, incorporating the architectural landscape and natural surroundings. Hand-hewn, rough-sawn reclaimed beams frame the entry to the grand living room, where a trussed ceiling and a dramatic wall of custom floor-to-ceiling windows draw the surrounding natural beauty indoors. A striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchors the space, creating a warm and inviting focal point. The thoughtfully designed floor plan centers around an entertaining chef’s kitchen and dining area, creating an ideal gathering space for family and friends. A 60” Wolf Dual Fuel Oven/Range with massive hood above will anchor the kitchen with a built-in Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer and built-in Cove dishwasher that will seamlessly flow with the kitchen cabinetry. A dedicated scullery and grilling porch will enhance both everyday living and entertaining and the covered stone terrace with its own fireplace will provide year-round outdoor enjoyment. Designed for both comfort and effortless privacy, the home features a main-level primary suite, tucked away for a calm space, complete with a rough-sawn beamed ceiling and a lavishly tiled bath will feature heated floors, free-standing soaking tub and an expansive walk-in closet. Upstairs, spacious guest accommodations include three additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, a loft retreat for relaxation or office, and a versatile bonus room for reading, media, or recreation. Additional highlights include a two-car garage for convenience during inclement weather and beautifully landscaped grounds with native plantings and sculptural boulder accents. Privately gated and tucked into a serene setting, the property is just minutes from vibrant downtown Highlands and is close to Highlands Country Club, offering an exceptional balance of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. Architectural plans and finishes are subject to changes at the builder's discretion prior to completion. Estimated Completion Date September 2026.
