About This Home

As of October 2024

Conveniently located between Highlands and Cashiers, this well maintained 3 bedroom/3 bath cottage makes you feel like you are living in a luxury treehouse with its large screen porch, open deck and private woodland setting. The home offers two master suites on separate floors, a third bedroom on Main and a loft area overlooking the large open living area with stone fireplace. Though only minutes from the shops and restaurants of Highlands, the wooded setting makes this home feel like a private retreat.

The property is offered fully furnished for turnkey enjoyment.
