About This Home
As of April 2022Beautifully adorned turn-key property, "Galerie House", is being sold furnished with just a few small exclusions. Updated 2 bedroom, 2 bath and is the perfect place for family, friends or visitors to come stay and relax. Location says it all, less than 2 miles to the middle of Main Street Highlands where you can shop local boutiques and dine on elevated cuisine offerings from around the world, not to mention it is right across the street from On the Verandah, one of Highlands premier dining destinations. Lake Sequoyah is across the street and located very close to the public access point, this is a dream for kayakers and fishing enthusiasts alike. Bridal Veil and Dry Falls are both less than 5 minutes from the home, as well as many other hiking and exploring areas across the plateau. Low maintenance landscaping is a bonus for a true "lock it and leave it" destination home. Encapsulation done 2021.
