25 Horse Cove Ranch Rd, Highlands, NC 28741

About this home

Come enjoy the scenic meadows and rock face mountain views in wonderful and peaceful Horse Cove! This cute cottage features 2 master-sized bedrooms with ensuite baths, an open living area with a stone fireplace (wood stove is an insert and could be removed but generates great heat-liner in place to use as fireplace), updated kitchen and a flagstone front porch overlooking the pond in the distance. Well-maintained in every way, this cottage sits on a nicely sized and gentle lot for gardening, space for a fire pit for nighttime stargazing and s'mores and room for your furry friends to frolic. The scenic stone terrace off of the kitchen is the perfect place to entertain family and friends. The unfinished basement area provides space for a workshop or storage galore. Peace and serenity are abundant in Horse Cove yet it is only a few miles from bustling Main Street in Highlands. Would make a great primary residence, secondary residence or investment property. Come see why so many people are escaping the stresses, heat and hastle of city living for our upscale, quaint mountain community.
