About This Home

As of October 2023

Stunning sunsets and expansive long range mountain views await you at “Alpenglow,” a charming A-frame mountain cabin in a much sought after neighborhood. Nestled on a hillside only 1.5 miles from Main Street, this rustic mountain home is the perfect place to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of an award winning mountain town. Sit on the newly renovated Trex deck and gaze at some of the oldest mountains on earth! Whiteside, Shortoff, and Yellow are a few of the mountain views that will mesmerize you as cool mountain breezes gently blow the clouds through the valleys below. This listing includes two extra lots below to protect these amazing views. Highlands was just named “America's Best Small Mountain Town” by Travel and Leisure Magazine (08/2023), and from this chalet style property, you're close to everything it has to offer. In addition, the community Kelsey Trail provides a short hike to the Highlands Nature Center and surrounding neighborhoods as well as downtown. The property provides a generous fenced area, is low maintenance and filled with towering Oak and Maple trees, rhododendron, mountain laurel, hostas and ferns. The main level has a cozy great room with soaring ceilings, a gas log fireplace, well-appointed kitchen, and private bedroom and bath. An open stairway leads to the upper-level loft with a second private bedroom and bath. The lower level provides the largest bedroom and full bath, along with utility room, washer and dryer. The home comes furnished and is decorated in rustic mountain elegance. Only a few minutes away is the new Highlands Performing Arts Center which provides live and streamed performances, and The Bascom offers year-round art classes and exhibitions. The shopping and dining in Highlands is phenomenal and has been on many “Top 10” lists from best small-town shopping to signature special events to several restaurants on the coveted Wine Spectator award list.
