About this House

In the heart of Webbmont, just minutes from downtown Highlands, North Carolina, this extraordinary property stands as a timeless expression of classic Highlands craftsmanship — beautifully preserved, thoughtfully expanded, and elevated for modern luxury living.
The home began as a stone building in the 1890s. In the late 1930s, renowned Highlands builder Joe Webb built a log cabin atop the original structure. Joe Webb cabins are among the most sought-after architectural treasures on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau, and a treatise on the Webbmont neighborhood calls this example “the Joe Webb piece de resistance”
The home was thoughtfully expanded, with the cabin and its bold stone fireplace as its heart, adding a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom on the main level and a primary suite on the upper level, in addition to a bedroom and bathroom in the original stone structure.
On the main level is a kitchen designed for entertaining featuring a large Sub-Zero fridge, a Thermador gas cooktop, dual Dacor wall ovens, two Bosch dishwashers, and a bar sink with a standalone ice maker. Residents and guests can gather around the wood-burning fireplace in the living room or on the expansive screened porch.
The property also features a one-bedroom guest cottage with a kitchenette and fireplace. Stone paths wind through the 2.18-acre property, leading to the original spring house signed by Joe Webb, a fire pit, and a charming waterfall.
Offered fully furnished, this legacy estate also benefits from a strong rental history and, notably, is not subject to the Town of Highlands’ short-term rental restrictions, offering rare flexibility for both personal use and income potential. For those who value architectural pedigree, history, and place, this is a rare opportunity to own an authentic Joe Webb cabin — reimagined for today while honoring its remarkable past.
159 Webb Branch Road, Highlands, NC 28741 is a 4 bedroom, 4 bathroom single-family home built in 1890. It last sold for $1,625,000 on Jul 7, 2026 (14% below the $1,895,000 asking price). It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $1,625,100, with a rent estimate of $2,450/month.

    "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."
