About this home

This mountain home has the charm and feeling of a true "Highlands Mountain Cottage". It has a great long range mountain view from the covered deck with a stone fireplace and offers a great venue for an afternoon cocktail or morning coffee. The kitchen, dining area and great room are all open to each other and a large stone fireplace is the centerpiece for the main living area. The master bedroom is on the main level and features a large bath with shower and a tub. The other two bedrooms are upstairs and both have vaulted ceilings and private baths and overlook the main level gathering area. The hardwood floors and vaulted ceilings and beams create a real mountain feel and the walls on the main level have a textured finish. The crawlspace was recently encapsulated. Highgate is approximately 10 minutes from downtown Highlands which features many fine dining restaurants, upscale shopping boutiques and the Bascom Gallery, the Highlands-Cashiers Performing Arts Center, the Highlands Playhouse and Highlands Rec Center. This home is situated on the Atlanta side of Highlands with easy access to the Atlanta airport.
