Description

Nestled in a quaint in-town neighborhood, just moments from the prestigious Highlands Country Club, this enchanting cottage exudes warmth and character. With stone accents and a beautifully landscaped circular driveway framed by moss-covered boulders, the home is as inviting as it is timeless. Inside, rich hardwood floors, a vaulted tongue-and-groove ceiling, and a striking stone fireplace create a cozy yet elegant ambiance. The open-concept floorplan effortlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, offering a perfect setting for both relaxed living and entertaining. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main level, complemented by an adjacent office/library that could easily serve as a fourth bedroom. Upstairs, a spacious ensuite bedroom offers privacy and comfort, while the lower level features a versatile living area, an additional generous ensuite with full bath, bonus room, and powder room, ideal for guests. Recent updates include a new roof (November 2024), a new HVAC system (2023), and a newly upgraded refrigerator, oven, microwave and dishwasher. Outside, a large deck provides an ideal space for grilling and soaking in stunning sunsets. A serene water feature adds to the home’s charm, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere. For tennis enthusiasts, an easy stroll leads to the esteemed Mountain Laurel Tennis Club and for those seeking nature, a short drive leads to Glen Falls, for a day of hiking through native flora and fauna. With bustling downtown Highlands only a few minutes’ drive away, this is a perfect location for those desiring both privacy and convenience. Originally built as the personal home of one of Highlands’ most esteemed builders, this property is a rare find that blends exceptional craftsmanship with modern comfort—an opportunity you won’t want to miss!

    "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."
