Description

Welcome to "Stone Cottage".
Located in Holt Knob (close to downtown Highlands).
Featured in one of Atlanta’s premier design magazines, this Highlands home is a true SHOWSTOPPER. Perfectly designed for the person who loves to entertain 50 guests with ease—or for the one who treasures quiet moments in a private mountain sanctuary.

Located just 2 minutes from Main Street in Highlands and not in an HOA, this exceptional property offers both convenience and independence. Lovingly cared for by the same family for 10 years. Originally built in 1976 and completely renovated in 2013 -the pride of ownership is evident in every thoughtful detail.

Everything You Imagine — And More:

From the vaulted, beamed ceilings in the living room to the dramatic floor-to-ceiling rock fireplaces, the main living space is both grand and inviting. The kitchen and baths are sleek and modern with Carrara marble, all beautifully appointed with Waterworks plumbing fixtures, faucets, and accessories, delivering timeless luxury and elevated design. Some bathrooms have heated floors.

The primary suite is privately situated in its own wing on the main level, offering direct access to the back porch with premium double-paned windows, HVAC and a stunning stone-clad wood-burning fireplace. Your personal retreat for cool mountain evenings.

Designed for Living & Entertaining:

Formal dining room with it's own fireplace, for elegant dinner parties, or quiet dinners at home.

Cozy library/den with its own fireplace—perfect for football Saturdays or quiet afternoons

Upper-level private apartment with full bath and kitchenette—ideal for extended guest stays

Sleeping Loft + Built-in bunk room (third bedroom) with its own bath—is a magical space for kids to play, laugh, and (hopefully) sleep. Off the bunk room is a loft that can double as an office or an additional sleeping area.

The oversized two-car garage easily accommodates vehicles, outdoor gear, and storage needs. Outside, the beautifully landscaped yard is maintained to perfection, creating a setting as stunning as the home itself.

This house is everything you think it is: beautiful, impeccably maintained, and ready for its next chapter.

Welcome home.

    "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."
