About this House
Welcome to 72 Moonlight Lane, a rare mountain sanctuary where architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony. Set amid a breathtaking landscape thoughtfully cultivated over the past two decades by renowned local landscape architect Jimmy Tate, this remarkable property offers an experience as enchanting as it is unforgettable.
From the moment you arrive, the property unfolds as a living work of art. Meandering paths wind through mature native trees, vibrant gardens, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces. With 300+- feet of creek frontage, the grounds feature tranquil water features and a picturesque pond that mirrors the surrounding mountain landscape. Every detail has been crafted to create a sense of peace, privacy, and connection to nature, making the grounds as remarkable as the residence itself.
The main residence blends timeless mountain character with inviting living spaces designed for gathering and relaxation. Generous living areas create an atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming. The undeniable centerpiece is the spectacular porch room—a grand indoor-outdoor living space that delivers the property's true "wow factor." Surrounded by natural beauty and filled with light, this stunning room is the heart of the home, offering the perfect place to entertain, dine, or simply enjoy the sights and sounds of the creek, pond, and gardens beyond.
Perhaps the most magical feature of the estate is its professionally constructed luxury tree house. Elevated among the trees, this extraordinary retreat offers sweeping views while providing every modern comfort. Complete with a fireplace, wet bar, bathroom, dining area, and lounge space, it is the ultimate setting for entertaining guests, enjoying sunset cocktails, or escaping into the serenity of the mountains.
The property consists of two separate lots totaling 2.23 acres (1.01 acres and 1.22 acres). The 1.01-acre parcel offers access to available water and sewer connections, creating an opportunity to build an additional residence, expand the gardens, or sell the lot separately!
72 Moonlight Lane is more than a home—it is a private mountain retreat, garden estate, and legacy property. Combining exceptional craftsmanship, unforgettable outdoor living, and one of the most captivating landscapes in Highlands, this is a place where memories are made and nature is celebrated every day.

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 Review2mo ago
