About this home

A graceful "country-french-mountain-cottage" nestled upon 4+ wooded acres, with view of the mountains beyond! Does this sound like your cup of tea? Several outdoor decks face towards the view one with a screened-in porch and wood-burning fireplace. The entire upper floor is a Primary Suite with two sitting areas and a large outdoor deck in the tree-tops. Three additional Guest Suites (all with adjoining full baths) flank the upper and lower level family rooms both of which access covered decks and screening. The kitchen is a bonafide gathering spot with its roominess to help the chef with a recipe, enjoy coffee by the fire, or graze on hors d' oeuvres and a cocktail before dinner. A formal yet casual dining room is right there and serves 10-12 easily. Level ingress/egress and plenty of room to park multiple family and guests. Located near pristine Mirror Lake for canoeing, with an easy drive to Oak Steak House in one direction and Downtown Highlands in the other. Head out hiking on the trails around the property, or a short way to the Highlands Greenway, Pinky Falls, and Big Creek. If your lifestyle is in need of some peacefulness as well as a place that family & friends will flock to, this may be it! Highlands, NC. Come for weekend, and stay for a lifetime.
