About This Home

As of September 2025

Nestled at the edge of the National Forest, this captivating 3-bedroom, 3-bath home offers the perfect balance of comfort and nature, with an office that could be an additional sleeping area. Inside, the spacious living areas—along with a gym and a cozy movie/game room—ensure there’s room for everyone to unwind and enjoy life. Step outside and be transported into a world of tranquility. This property borders the National Forest and offers immediate access to hiking trails that wind through the lush woods, or lead to the top of Rocky Knob, where you can enjoy panoramic views stretching all the way to Georgia and South Carolina. Enjoy the sights and sounds of nature from every corner of the property—whether it's the gentle hum of birds in the morning, the soothing chorus of frogs at night, or the soft rush of a waterfall that comes to life after every rainstorm. At night, the absence of street lights allows for spectacular, unobstructed views of the starry sky. Bring out a blanket, and take in the vast beauty above. It’s the perfect spot for stargazing or simply reconnecting with nature. This home is more than just four walls and a roof; it’s a place where memories are made. It’s where we taught our children to swim in the refreshing waters of Lake Osage, where they learned to ride bikes and fish, and where they explored the nearby streams. We’ve created countless memories here, from afternoons spent by the firepit and sharing stories, to quiet moments resting in a hidden hammock. The back deck is a true sanctuary, with an up-close view of the Rocky Knob rock face that the community is named for. The covered portion of the deck features a one-of-a-kind porch swing that’s the perfect spot to relax while reading. With direct access to the trails that weave through Rocky Knob, exploring the beauty of the National Forest is just steps away. Whether you prefer a walk along a stream or a challenging hike to the top of Rocky Knob, adventure is right outside your door. And, for those who love the water, Lake Osage offers a refreshing retreat, perfect for swimming, kayaking, or simply enjoying the beauty of the lake. This home is not just a place to live—it’s a place to experience life, nature, and all the memories that come with it. If you're seeking a peaceful, nature-filled retreat that’s still close enough to all the outdoor activities you could dream of, this is your opportunity.Our elevation is 3760-Main Street Highlands Elevation is 3790 only a 30' difference.
