Great value in a good area with lush rhododendrons and a flowing stream. Tucked back off of Shortoff Road, this home is located just a few miles from Main Street Highlands and just around the corner from the Highlands Cashiers Hospital. The home features a lovely covered back deck perfect for enjoying the sounds of the babbling stream and our cool mountain temperatures. The property is quiet, almost level and has plenty of space for families and pets to enjoy. A charming studio would make a great playhouse or a special retreat for an artist or writer. Wonderful to enjoy just as it is, or do a little updating and create the perfect mountain getaway.
