One of the prettiest properties in Highlands! Moss covered rocks, forests floors filled with native ferns and rhododendron and BIG Mountain Views. A serene +/-6.8 acres only a few minutes from downtown. A long and winding driveway leads to a cabin with charm galore inside. A huge deck offers room for entertaining while gazing at incredible and numerous mountain ranges. Sit by the large stone fireplace on chilly mornings and evenings. Rock away your cares on the porch while cool breezes blow! Sit and enjoy a cup of coffee in the sun room off the kitchen while staring at clouds floating over the mountains in the distance. This could be a guest house and a large home built if desired. Hiking trails, picnic areas, and great flora and fauna for a true mountain get-a-way. This was part of the original Playmore property. This would make a great rental property if so inclined. Private but only a few minutes drive to downtown Highlands. Enjoy award winning restaurants, great boutique shopping, art galleries, plays and concerts. If you're ready to escape city life -whether part time or full time -this is the place for you!
