Multi-Family Homes & Duplexes for Sale in Scaly Mountain, Highlands

In the hillsides of western North Carolina near the Georgia border, Scaly Mountain was once a popular skiing destination that acted as an escape from Atlanta. Today, the sleepy mountain community is known for its hiking and relaxed outdoor vibe. Several cabins were repurposed into lodges or bed and breakfasts. “Scaly has the most beautiful views, and there are a lot of recreational activities. The area is really developing,” says Josephine Lovell, a county resident and Realtor with Highlands Sotheby's International Real Estate. Elevated cottages and cabins are common in this community, but there are also undeveloped, wooded lots with views of the highlands. Most homes are on about an acre of land and rely on septic tanks and well water. These range from around $400,000 to $800,000. Larger properties on 4 acres or more tend to range from $850,000 to $2.25 million. Some popular areas of the community include the Rocky Knob subdivision, which has a gated entry, a private 17-acre lake and a homeowner's association, and Wildflower Creek, a luxury motorhome resort community on nearly 12 acres with a gated entry, clubhouse, pavilion and walking trails.Homes with private wells may be at
