About This Home
As of May 2025Privately situated on two lots totaling 1.90 acres with Rock Creek Falls traversing through this unique property. This beautiful 3 bd/3ba home features open living spaces that flow seamlessly to the large, screened porch overlooking the falls and wading pools. The sounds from the waterfall can be mesmerizing and certainly relaxing. The gourmet kitchen is open to the living and dining areas and to a side den with a gas-log fireplace. The fireplace has two sides and is open to the living room. The bridge over the waterfall leads to a path that goes to a playhouse. There are creative opportunities for the use of the playhouse overlooking the waterfall. The furniture is included, with some exceptions noted in an itemized to be provided by the seller.
The home is located in the gated community of Highlands Falls Country Club. The recreational amenities provided by the HFCC come through membership in the Club. HFCC offers golf, croquet, tennis, pickleball, swimming, and fine dining and has a very active ACBL-sanctioned bridge game twice a week. Application for membership to Highlands Falls CC is subject to approval by the HFCC Board of Directors. Membership in HFCC is not required of the homeowners in the HFCC subdivision. Highlands Falls Country Club has recently completed a significant and very successful renovation of the golf course and the clubhouse. In 2024, HFCC built a new state-of-the-art pickleball facility and a new swimming pool facility near the clubhouse.
