What's special

Metal roofAll-gas appliancesHeart-pine floors

Own a one-of-a-kind piece of Highlands history! The original part of this cabin — built in 1940 — was the first to ever have power on Buck Creek. Built on a chestnut-log foundation for lasting durability, the home features a metal roof, heart-pine floors, and all-gas appliances. It has been added to over the years and now has three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a loft in the primary suite. Positioned between Little Buck Creek and the historic wagon road to Highlands, the property offers trout fishing for native brook trout just off the back deck, along with a hot tub set to the sound of the creek. Landscaping spans the entire property, anchored by two ponds connected by a waterfall. Two outbuildings provide options for storage or a children's playhouse, while raised garden beds suit any gardener. An available building site offers room for a larger home with potential long-range mountain views, all within more than 11 acres.
