451 Moon Mountain Rd, Highlands, NC 28741

If you have been looking for peace and quiet IN the treetops- you've found it here! Moon Mountain is located next to the entrance of Glen Falls and the Chinquapin hiking trail. This home sits at the top of Moon Mountain - a custom built home purposefully set to allow minimum exposure to the outside world, yet only about 10 easy minutes to Main Street. The house sits on Lot 97A, and the buffer lot is 96A- VERY private. Lush rhododendrons, and perennials line the drive to this contemporary home. The main level living area has quarried tile floors, a converted gas log fireplace and vaulted ceiling to give you a treehouse feel as you look out into the forest. There's a screened porch and open deck for outdoor entertaining or relaxing. A few steps up to the mid level, you'll find the large Mst. BR with tongue/ groove white-washed pine paneling, private bath, cedar lined closet with built in storage. There is a hallway full bath next to a guest BR, and up a half flight of steps to the 3rd BR with a large closet, full bath, and small balcony on the view side. The upper bedroom (3rd BR) was originally the Mst. BR until a new addition was added. There's a small room, now used as an office that was the original 3rd BR. (The septic permit for this home is for three bedrooms) You can trim trees for a better view, but you may decide you like the privacy and coolness underneath nature's canopy. This home is listed WELL below the current tax appraisal of $364,830. (2018 records)
