About This Home
Live Among the Treetops: Find serenity in this classic Highlands 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage,
perfectly tucked away in the nature yet just minutes from town. Located just 2 minutes from the historic Highlands Country Club and 7 minutes from downtown, this charming retreat offers both seclusion and convenience. Surrounded by mature rhododendron and mountain laurel under a mature forest canopy, this home requires no lawn maintenance—just the beauty of the mountains in any season. Inside, an open living room and dining room space flows into the kitchen, with both areas opening onto a spacious back deck nestled among mature pines and poplars. Large, energy-efficient windows allow an abundance of natural light and nature’s beauty into the home. The rear of the property borders Glen Falls Road-a popular, well-marked, pet friendly hiking trail that leads to one of the area’s most beautiful waterfalls, Glen Falls. Perfect for exploring nature with friends and family. The primary bedroom and bath are located on the main floor, while the second bedroom and bath upstairs offer privacy for guests. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful Highlands retreat or a smart investment, this property is a rare find. While it boasts a Highlands address, it’s outside the town’s rental restrictions, allowing you to rent it by the day, week, or month—a major advantage for short-term rental income. And, no HOA!
