About This Home
Set just outside the gates of Wildcat Country Club, this refined mountain retreat offers the rare combination of privacy, updated luxury, and unrestricted ownership—no HOA and rentals permitted—while maintaining immediate access to one of Highlands’ most desirable club environments. Thoughtfully updated since 2020, the residence reflects pride of ownership and modern comfort, with improvements including a roof, updated appliances, carpeting, refreshed bathrooms, upgraded electrical and plumbing fixtures, and numerous additional enhancements throughout. The home is offered partially furnished, allowing for an effortless transition into mountain living. Designed for ease and elegance, the floor plan provides the convenience of one-level living complemented by cathedral beamed ceilings and two inviting fireplaces that anchor the living spaces with warmth and character. The expansive primary suite is a true retreat, featuring its own private den or sitting area—ideal for quiet mornings, reading, or relaxation after a day in the mountains. Outdoors, the 1.51-acre property is beautifully manicured and thoughtfully landscaped, blending open, usable lawn space with natural wooded privacy. A gentle stream borders the property, creating a serene backdrop highlighted by a charming bistro sitting area overlooking the water. Meandering trails and paths wind throughout the grounds, offering peaceful moments to enjoy the setting. Additional exterior features include a gated drive, private yard, water feature, and meticulously maintained landscaping that enhances both beauty and privacy. Located moments from Highlands while remaining outside club gates, this property presents a unique opportunity to enjoy optional Wildcat Country Club membership without the limitations of in-club residency. A compelling offering for the discerning buyer seeking refined mountain living, flexibility, and long-term value in one of Highlands’ most coveted locations.
