Magical Setting Sets This Mountain Home Apart! Privacy abounds in this 3 bedroom 3 bath home and 1 bedroom 1 bath guest cottage set on 1.37 acres. Only minutes from Main Street Highlands, yet it feels like an Oasis set apart: a front porch overlooking double ponds, one feeding into the other; old growth floral and fauna; a rushing stream, easy care natural landscaping. Inside this beautifully maintained home are hardwood floors throughout, a classic stone fireplace beginning to be lit, another bedroom fireplace upstairs ; open floor plan; beamed ceilings; ample room sizes; master on main and a fantastic large sun room. The separate guest cottage has a full kitchen, and ample living area giving rise too the possibility of a separate income producing vehicle. Located off the Dillard road and on city water, this property is ideal!
