Just moments from the heart of Highlands, this exceptional . 98-acre homesite along coveted Bowery Road offers a rare blend of privacy, natural beauty, and effortless walkability. Positioned just a stone's throw from a scenic stretch of the Highlands Greenway Trail, you can step from your future front door and stroll into town for dining, shopping, and the vibrant lifestyle that defines Highlands. The property’s gentle slope away from the road creates an ideal canvas for a wide range of architectural possibilities, whether you envision a refined mountain cottage, a contemporary retreat with expansive glass, or a classic Highlands-style residence nestled into the landscape. The topography allows for thoughtful design elements such as a walk-out lower level, terraced outdoor living spaces, or gardens that blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. The septic permit allows for four bedrooms. Surrounded by the quiet beauty of native hardwoods and mountain flora, yet just a short walk to Main Street, this setting offers the best of both worlds, peaceful seclusion with immediate access to everything that makes Highlands so special. A truly rare opportunity to create a custom home in one of the Plateau’s most desirable in-town locations.
