About This Home

As of September 2020

Just a short drive from Highlands' Main Street, this magnificent log lodge was crafted from ancient pine logs grown above the Arctic Circle which were personally sourced by this home's first owner. The vast great room with cathedral ceilings and a massive stone fireplace surveys the east, overlooking long-range views of Whiteside and Satulah Mountains. The great room is open to the spacious kitchen with an island and breakfast bar, while the dining area is adjacent to the kitchen and opens to a large open deck, conveying the perfect flow for both living and entertaining. Every bedroom has a private bath, and many have private decks where guests can enjoy the spectacular views and beautiful gardens. The master suite includes a large sitting area with a stone fireplace and overlooks the mountain view, while a guest bedroom downstairs also has a private fireplace. Large decks, both covered and open, stone patios, a beautifully designed goldfish pond, and the many gazebos and benches throughout the professionally landscaped grounds make for quiet enjoyment and peaceful walks through your outdoor spaces. Massive native stone columns and exterior stonework add to the grandeur of the home and grounds. The Lake Sequoyah community is gated and consists of only a few estates. In addition, there is a community shelter and boat dock on Lake Sequoyah where you can enjoy canoeing or paddling. The grounds have been professionally landscaped with perennial flowers, shrubs, fruit trees, wildflowers, and wandering paths. The home is equipped with remotely viewable security cameras and high-speed internet. This is an opportunity to own one of the great estates located in the well-known community of Highlands, North Carolina. Each of the four seasons is spectacular; catch the sunrise over Whiteside Mountain on a cool summer morning or watch the snowflakes fall on mountainridges.
