Amazing views!! Acreage!! Privacy, !! No HOA!!! and approximately 5-7 minutes to downtown Highlands!! This house is one of those hidden gems off the beaten path. Once you turn down the paved driveway, you are surrounded by lush foliage on either side leading to your private retreat. Not only will you get 7.78 acres with year-round panoramic views of Brushy Face, and Satullah Mountain, but you will also get a 4 bedroom, 3 bath log home that is ready for you to add your personal touches to update. With 3 stories, there is space for everyone. There are 2 stone wood-burning fireplaces, one in the kitchen and one in the living room, and a wood-burning stove in the basement. You will find the kitchen, living room, bedroom, bath, and laundry on the main floor, with a screened-in porch off of the living room where you can sit and watch the beautiful sunsets, and forget all your worries. Upstairs, there are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Downstairs is a recreation /game room, an office, and a large storage area. This home offers privacy, yet close to downtown Highlands with all of its offerings of award-winning restaurants, hotels and spa, concerts at the park, upscale shopping, art museum, theatre, as well as numerous hiking trails and waterfalls. Truly a bargain! For investors, the 7.78 used to be subdivided and could possibly be resubdivdied into 10 lots . This summer house has been encapsulated, and the exterior was recently painted.
