About This Home

This sophisticated new residence actively underway in Shelby Place marries refined design with today’s most desired modern amenities. Thoughtfully crafted and featuring southern exposure, the home offers an elevated lifestyle just moments from the heart of downtown Highlands. The open-concept great room will be a striking focal point, with vaulted and beamed ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and a wall of expansive steel windows that blur the line between indoors and nature beyond. The kitchen, appointed with a 36” professional cooktop and KitchenAid appliances, will flow seamlessly into dining and living areas—perfect for both intimate gatherings and entertaining. For year-round enjoyment, the covered porch with fireplace will provide an exquisite setting to dine al fresco while overlooking a greenspace of native plants and trees while listening to the sounds of the creek in the near distance. The primary suite will be a true sanctuary, featuring a spa-inspired bath and a substantial walk-in closet with direct access to the laundry room for convenience. Two additional bedrooms and baths will provide comfort and versatility. Outdoors, the flat lawn will offer space for gardens or an area for furry friends to frolic. A two-car garage and 22kw home generator will provide peace of mind. Come explore Shelby Place, a highly desirable in-town neighborhood, offering picturesque green spaces, gentle walking areas, and pickleball courts—all within minutes of Highlands’ fine dining, boutique shopping, and cultural experiences. Experience the best of mountain living in this newly constructed home, where every detail will be designed to elevate your lifestyle. Architectural renderings are subject to builder modification. Estimated time of completion is October 2026. Property tax amount will increase after certificate of occupancy is granted.
