Description
This quintessential Highlands cottage on coveted Cobb Road offers timeless charm, rich history, and an exceptional golf course setting. Perfectly positioned on a beautifully terraced 0.40-acre lot, the property enjoys golf course views, mature landscaping, and the peaceful character of one of Highlands’ most sought-after neighborhoods. The screened porch offers a front-row view of the 7th fairway, creating a seamless connection to the course and the relaxed rhythm of club living.
Originally built in 1955 as a two-story residence, the home carries a unique and beloved legacy. The current owners first purchased the property in the early 1960s and, after selling, reacquired it in 1995, expanding it to include a third level and transforming it into the spacious mountain retreat it is today.
This three-story white clapboard home features 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 2 half baths, offering ample space for family and guests. The main level showcases warm knotty Southern pine walls, creating an inviting mountain ambiance. The den features a beautiful stone fireplace, while the living room offers built-in bookshelves and a vaulted, beamed ceiling. A pristine 1994 American Trader “Princess” canoe stored in the rafters adds a unique nod to craftsmanship and mountain living. The dining area flows seamlessly into the kitchen, where ample counter space makes entertaining effortless. Additional highlights include a versatile craft room, ideal for hobbies or a home office, and a bedroom with golf course views and soft natural light.
Upstairs, two spacious bedrooms each feature en-suite bathrooms and walk-in closets. Abundant windows and two skylights fill the level with natural light. The hallway between the two rooms has built-in bookcases and accent lighting, creating an ideal reading nook or study space.
The lower level features a spacious living area and game room with a fireplace, along with an additional bedroom and full bath complete with a soaking tub and walk-in shower. An elevator provides convenient access to all levels. This level also includes a single-car garage and walk-out access to the lower yard, where stone terraced steps lead to the golf course.
Located just minutes from downtown Highlands and within the prestigious Highlands Country Club community (membership optional), this property offers a rare combination of privacy, history, and proximity to town. A true Highlands classic, ready for the next generation of memories.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLots of disrespectful teachers, principal and everyone is more worried about your phone dropping out of your pocket and what the girls are wearing then if you get a quality education. I honestly cannot say anything good about this school except for about 5 teachers out of a lot. Librarian tells kids to shut up and yelled at us every time we went to get books. Kids sells lots of vapes and some weird stuff went down in the bathrooms that I can’t put online. WAYYY too concerned about girls clothes…it’s one thing if you’re wearing booty shorts but you would wear shorts that cover everything, and you have to change. PE favorites are always who is the best at the sports they play for them, not who actually tries. Only the curvy girls get dress codes btw, if you’re flat apparently they don’t care. A lockdown while I was there, lots of fights, kids making threats and posting about guns, etc. Crappy school.Other Review1y ago - Macon Early College High School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIn my experience having 3 kids now that have passed on through this school - It was the worst school my kids attended. My kids dreaded going. It was a chore to keep them positive and wanting to go and learn. Teachers let them do whatever they want. Never any homework My child was bullied non stop with no help of the principal to put an end to it. It was constant! Her grades were the worst at this school and she is a straight A student prior to attending here and most importantly she loved school before going to MVI. Personally most staff and faculty here make it seem they hate being a part of the team as well. Students are made to clean classrooms weekly for a full day. Dusting and wiping down cabinets. Receptionist is extremely rude and dull. Once my kids left MVI they began to thrive once again and be themselves. I was told they have no structure. If you don't have money you are nothing to the teachers and you are ahund and treated badly. The stats here that I have reviewed for where kids should be are absurdly low. Makes you wonder what's going on. If I had to go back I would definitely homeschool children during these 2 yrs to keep them from all the damage that happens here at this school. Would not ever recommend. And I know I'm not the only parent in this town that feels this way. Such a shame!!Parent Review1mo ago
