About This Home

Welcome to 72 Moonlight Lane, an extraordinary mountain sanctuary where timeless architecture, exceptional outdoor living, and more than two decades of thoughtfully cultivated landscaping create one of Highlands’ most captivating properties.
Set on 2.23 acres across two parcels, the estate features a breathtaking landscape designed and refined by renowned local landscape architect Jimmy Tate. Meandering paths wind beneath mature native trees and through vibrant gardens, while more than 300 feet of creek frontage flows through the property, feeding tranquil water features and a picturesque pond. The result is a private, serene setting with an exceptional connection to nature.
The main residence blends timeless mountain character with warm, inviting spaces for gathering and entertaining. A dedicated office and separate TV room provide plenty of space for family and guests to relax and spread out. Downstairs, a versatile bonus room offers additional sleeping accommodations and is currently used as a fourth bedroom.
The showpiece is the spectacular porch room. An indoor-outdoor living space surrounded by the gardens, creek, and pond. Filled with natural light, it is truly the heart of the home and an unforgettable setting for dining, entertaining, or relaxing to the sounds of the water.
Elevated among the trees is the professionally constructed luxury treehouse, featuring sweeping views, a fireplace, wet bar, bathroom, dining area, and lounge. Whether entertaining friends or enjoying a quiet afternoon, it may be the most magical destination on the property. Blueprints are available to expand it into a full one-bedroom, one-bath retreat.
The estate consists of two parcels—1.01 acres and 1.22 acres. The 1.01-acre parcel has access to available water and sewer connections, offering possibilities for an additional residence, expanded gardens, or potential future sale of the lot separately.
72 Moonlight Lane is a true Highlands legacy property, reflecting years of thoughtful care and stewardship. From its spectacular grounds and unforgettable porch room to its remarkable treehouse and flowing creek, every corner offers something special.
The pictures only begin to tell the story. This property truly must be experienced to be fully appreciated.
