A Charming Highlands Retreat with Room to Make It Your Own
Tucked away on a quaint gravel road with just four other homes, this charming Highlands retreat offers the privacy, peace, and relaxed mountain lifestyle you’ve been looking for—while being just five minutes from downtown Highlands and conveniently located near Highlands Country Club.
Set on a flat(ish), usable lot, the yard is a wonderful space for children to play, dogs to roam, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Inside, the home offers three bedrooms and two full baths in a desirable split-bedroom floor plan, giving everyone their own space and privacy.
The inviting living room centers around a beautiful stone fireplace, creating the perfect gathering spot on a cool mountain evening. Step outside onto the large, welcoming front porch for morning coffee, or settle onto the cozy covered back porch with a good book and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
And for those looking for flexibility, this property offers even more possibilities. There is no HOA, and the home can be rented for 30 days at a time, making it an appealing addition to an investment portfolio or a Highlands getaway that can generate rental income when you’re away. The property also offers the convenience of city water and sewer.
Highlands is more than a vacation destination—it’s a true mountain community filled with Southern hospitality, friendly faces, beautiful scenery, and a pace of life that makes you want to stay awhile. Whether you’re looking for a weekend escape, a full-time home, or an investment opportunity, this property offers a wonderful chance to become part of the Highlands lifestyle.
Come read a book on the back porch, gather around the stone fireplace, and discover why Highlands is a place you may quickly find yourself wanting to call home. Or just enjoy time sitting by the creek and feeling the warmth of your firepit on chilly autumn nights.
The furniture and art work are available for purchase outside of closing.
