Located less than 10 minutes from downtown Highlands, this home sits in the middle of more than 6.5 unrestricted acres. The home is very private and the lot adjoins Nantahala National Forest Service Land; in addition, there is a nature trail that winds through the property and leads to two waterfalls. The home features two bedrooms, one bath, and an open living room/kitchen space with wood-burning fireplace. From the porch you can see great views of Black Rock, Satulah, and Brushy Face mountains year round. The home could be used in current form, or would be a perfect place to build a new home and use the existing home as a guest house. Give me a call to schedule your showing today!
