About this home

Experience a wonderful opportunity to discover this unforgettable, riverfront cottage, privately nestled within the lush, verdant landscapes of the Western North Carolina Mountains in Highlands. This newly remodeled, two-bedroom, two-bathroom sanctuary offers an open-concept, single-level floor plan that is bursting with natural light and features a cozy, picturesque river view right in your own backyard. This remarkable and tranquil property overflows with charm, both inside and out. You will be naturally drawn to the rear screened porch, where the soothing sounds of the cascading river provide a serene backdrop for your morning coffee or evening beverages. For the outdoor enthusiast, a scenic private walkway leads from your back door directly to the water’s edge, perfect for fly fishing, kayaking, or soaking in the mountain sun from the lower riverside deck. With ample parking for visiting friends and family and the rare potential to expand the home's footprint, this retreat must be seen to be truly appreciated. This is mountain living at its absolute finest.
