About This Home
Nestled on 9.52 acres, this 2-bedroom home with 2 bonus rooms and a lower-level efficiency apartment offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience! Just 6 minutes from downtown Highlands, NC, AND adjoining USFS land, the property features a bold, babbling creek visible and audible from the house for serene privacy just a short drive from luxury amenities. The main and upper levels have lots of natural light, and the kitchen has had some updates like marble countertops, stainless fridge, and an exhaust fan. The lower level includes a separate guest suite with a full kitchen, bathroom, living area, and bedroom—ideal for long-term rental or extra guests. Two attached single-car garages offer ample storage: one in the basement with a workshop area and storage, the other at the side of the home. A higher-elevation build site presents the potential for long-range views. This home is ready for a full renovation and holds exceptional potential to become a luxurious private estate, just minutes from the resort town of Highlands.
