About This Home

Perched high on Holt Knob less than a mile from downtown Highlands, this rare mountain retreat offers long-range views typically found miles outside of town. The main level features 2 bedrooms and 2 baths, warm hardwood floors, and a classic brick fireplace. A light-filled sunroom with vaulted ceilings invites you to relax while taking in the ever-changing mountain skies. Step onto the expansive deck and feel as though you're soaring above the treetops.

Complete with a garage and set on a naturally landscaped, low-maintenance one-acre lot, this property blends convenience, privacy, and breathtaking scenery in one exceptional offering.
