A master-planned community close to nature
Homebuyers may not find towering mountains at The Highlands, but one thing is for sure – residents do live the high life. A master-planned community, The Highlands offers an accessible 18-hole golf course, various amenities like lakes and tennis courts and proximity to Virginia’s largest state park. Newly built homes contrast beautifully with established forests in The Highlands, houses sitting on tidy, tree-shaded lots that span an acre or more. Most houses sell for between $450,000 and $750,000, but there are also empty lots and a 55+ community to choose from. In short, when it comes to living close to nature in a modern, high-quality home, The Highlands has residents covered.

Homes in The Highlands
Many homes in The Highlands were built after the ‘70s, following Colonial Revival and American Craftsman designs and selling for roughly $450,000 to $650,000. A lot of homes have been built since 2020 and follow New Traditional designs. These recent three- to five-bedroom builds typically sell for between $550,000 to $750,000, with prices topping out at more than $1 million. Regardless of the house one chooses, spacious, private, forested lots are a staple of life in The Highlands. “Most lots are around an acre, and here and there, you’ll find two or three-acre lots,” says Matt Cullather a Realtor with EXP who has been selling homes for nearly 20 years. “So, homes aren’t sitting on top of each other.” One-and-a-half acre lots can also still be found in the south waiting for development. They go for between $80,000 and $100,000. There’s also a 55+ section in the south by Lake Margaret. Houses there usually sell for between $600,000 and $800,000.
Colonial-style homes are common here.

A golf course, lakes and Virginia’s largest state park
“We’ve got a beautiful 18-hole championship golf course that was recently updated and made even better,” Cullather says. The Golf Club at The Highlands is centrally located and offers several practice facilities, a fitness center and a restaurant and bar. And beyond the golf course, The Highlands is filled to the brim with amenities like hiking trails, pools, lakes and tennis courts. Living at The Highlands is comparable to living at a resort. And there’s even more nature right next door. Spanning nearly 8,000 acres, Pocahontas State Park is the largest state park in Virginia and less than a 15-minute drive away for most residents. Whether residents are looking to mountain bike, archery hunt, swim in the Aquatic Recreation Center or fish or boat on Swift Creek Lake, activities can be enjoyed year-round at Pocahontas State Park.
