Description

Welcome to 120 Split Rail Row, where luxury meets livability in one of Highlands' most coveted in-town locations. Lovingly and thoughtfully reimagined, this distinctive residence blends elevated design with the functionality of today's lifestyle demands.

The expansive main level lives beautifully for a couple, while private guest suites occupy two separate upper-level wings - offering exceptional privacy for family and friends. Even though shown as a three bedroom, it has an additional living/sleeping suite for family and golf foursomes.

A custom steel-and-glass entry door opens into a light-filled, open floor plan anchored by a dramatic stacked-stone fireplace in the Great Room. The dining area flows seamlessly into the newly remodeled chef's kitchen, appointed with top-of-the-line appliances including a La Cornue range, Sub-Zero 48" refrigerator, Wolf steam oven, speed oven, and two dishwashers. Custom cabinetry crafted in Oklahoma surrounds a statement island featuring a walnut countertop with quartzite inlay - a true centerpiece for gathering.

A newly completed primary retreat offers an extraordinary his and her suite concept, featuring separate bedrooms and individual luxury baths. The suite features a desk niche, stacked-stone wall features, custom plaster walls, reclaimed beams, ceilings that include plaster, tongue-and-groove, and vaulted. A serene sunroom, with floor to ceiling windows, connects you to the two spaces and overlooks the terrace and lush gardens beyond.

The large porch completes the main living area with IPE hardwood flooring, another stacked-stone fireplace, pine tongue-and-groove ceiling, and SAVNAC canvas window coverings for year-round enjoyment.

Upstairs, one guest suite features a private staircase and bath, while the suite above the garage offers its own staircase, bedroom, den, and private bath - ideal for extended guests or multigenerational living.

Outdoors, Tennessee fieldstone pathways and patios wind through beautifully designed gardens enhanced with over 160 native plants and trees. Built-in wood and stone benches provide peaceful spaces for meditation or bird watching, while extensive rock walls add timeless mountain character.

Approximate square footage is 4,000 per owner. Extra flex room that can be used for sleeping.

    "It’s beautiful and appears to be a great place to raise a family. I used to come here as a child back in the 70’s with my parents and it’s still as I remember it. Quaint and beautiful. "
  • Karie.mcclure
    "not sure only a renter at this point but love how safe And low key it is .. great weather as well nice people "
  • Pam
    "Great small town. Elevation 4000 feet plus. Friendly residents. Lots to do for a small town. A little pricy, but worth it. Great hiking and waterfalls galore. Dog friendly neighborhood and town."
  • Christine B.
    "It's a very friendly community. When the tourists come to town for the season it gets overcrowded but some non locals are really friendly. "
  • Bill B.
    "I live here and love the weather, hiking trails, water falls, and the National Forest. 4,118 feet elevation provides cool weather in the summer."
  • Susan C.
    "What a beautiful place to live ... there is nothing as peaceful or beautiful as the mountains and this lovely, quaint town."
  • Rick C.
    "There's no Wal-Mart or fast food joints. Life in the mountains has an easier pace. You are removed from the city, but that's why we live here, to get away from it all. There is a world class spa, fine dining on smaller scale, exquisite shops. Think Breckinridge, without the skiing.Beautiful mountains, hiking, mountain biking, floral life, live music, plays, wineries, what more do you want?"
  • carolrosen
    "Great area, lovely home, easy comfortable living"
  • John D.
    "A great place to spend the summer, and within walking distance to town."
  • Nadine P.
    "A wonderful community with a year round caretaker, pool, tennis courts and swimming pool plus it is gated. Certainly not a necessity in Highlands! I would recommend King Mtn to anyone looking for lush foliage, fantastic views and wonderful amenities."
  • Nadine P.
    "I have lived in Highlands, NC for 7 years and still upon returning from out of town get a peacefulness when I hit Main St or the Gorge Rd from Franklin. Prettiest place anywhere...you must visit!"
  • Dorothy S.
    "You will find that people are extremely friendly. We have four mild seasons. Winter is wonderful. Nothing is better than curling up with a book in front of a crackling fire."
