About This Home

As of October 2025

A lovely home and detached guest house sit on 1.60 acres situated just off Bowery Road in the peaceful Sagee Mountain neighborhood. The property is perched above moss covered rocks and enchanting stone pathways that meander through old growth Rhododendron and mature hardwood trees. This mostly one level home with wide plank wood flooring is brimming with classic old Highlands charm. The main home is filled with an abundance of light and has a gracious living room with a cathedral ceiling and a wall of windows that surround the beautiful stone fireplace. The upscale, detached guest house is a delight for friends and family when visiting. The spacious main house kitchen, with breakfast area, has plenty of pantry space and features a beautiful kitchen island. All three bedrooms in the main house open up to the back patio gardens and have ensuite bathrooms. The screened porch and outdoor wood burning fireplace have a perfect view of the hillside garden. The garden has a natural stone feature with steps leading to a beautiful plot of vegetable and flower beds. There is also a fenced dog run that is perfect for your four legged friend. This property is conveniently situated across the street from walking trails within the 17.34 acres owned by the Highlands Land Trust. The neighborhood roads are mostly flat and easy to walk. Located a short distance from the Highlands Biological Station, the shops and restaurants along Main Street, the Performing Arts Center, and The Bascom, a Center for Visual Arts.
