About this House

Just a short drive from Main Street Highlands sits a charming, modernized cabin—which you may soon find as your Mountain Getaway, or perhaps even your new home. This log cabin offers privacy and perspective. With a bit of trimming, you can likely open a ridge-line view, or you may choose do what the current owners have done: relish the cabin in the woods. Enjoy cool summer evenings on the screened porch or shift indoors during cooler weather to soak in the warmth from the wood burning masonry fireplace. Professionally decorated (including customized window treatments and hardware) and showcased in publications, the home features significant upgrades which include the stylish kitchen with built-in appliances, opening to the living room and fireplace for comfortable entertaining. On the main floor, you’ll also find the primary bedroom and an updated master bath, a significant improvement from many similar mountain cabins. Downstairs you’ll find comfortable guest space with a separate den or TV room and a floor-length porch. Williams Papadopoulis Design Firm from Atlanta did the work. If interested, a buyer can obtain all the specifications and information regarding the work that has been done.
Furnished with a few exceptions, this home shows quality and comfort throughout. It looks good, as a cabin should, but the metal roof and encapsulation add the benefit of easy-maintenance mountain living. For some potential buyers, the fact that there are no rental restrictions in this area may be of major interest. You can enjoy it yourself as often as you’d like but have the advantage of earning income too. The rental market in the Town of Highlands is limited: a nearby, charming cabin in the woods is a desired commodity. Not too far up the road lies one of the favorite hiking trails in the area, Jones Knob, part of the Bertram Trail. And less than 15 minutes away is one of the most charming towns in the Southeast. With outdoor activities, fine restaurants, unique shopping, and a vital arts community featuring professional-level theater, superb chamber music, and music in the park (with a picnic) on summer Saturday nights, Highlands has something for everyone. High-Speed Starlink has been the current source of internet; per the Seller, Fiber Optics will be coming to Ancient Way starting the 1st Quarter of 2026!
99 Ancient Way, Highlands, NC 28741 is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom single-family home built in 2004. It last sold for the $889,999 asking price on Jul 31, 2025. This property is not currently displayed as for sale or rent on Trulia. The Trulia Estimate is $893,600, with a rent estimate of $2,621/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. "

  • 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?"
