About this home

This is the perfect home for someone wanting an introductory cabin in the Highlands area. It could be a great getaway--or a full-time residence. On the Atlanta side of Highlands in a gated community with high elevation (over 4000 feet). Some year-round view of Scaly Mountain with a broader winter view. This home has received numerous upgrades in the last few years, but is still priced with the understanding that a new owner may want to do a bit more. New roof, crawlspace encapsulation, new windows and window treatments, upgraded lighting, total re-do of the master bathroom--and much more. The King Mountain community lies about 15 minutes from Highlands, but just 20 or so minutes from the N. Georgia communities of Dillard and Clayton and features a clubhouse, pool, and tennis courts. The community also adjoins the Bartram Trail for great hiking without ever having to get in a car. Near zip lining and wintertime snow tubing.
