Description

Just minutes from Main Street in Highlands, yet tucked just outside the town limits, this fully furnished mountain retreat offers the rare balance of convenience, privacy, and unforgettable mountain charm. Whether you’re searching for a personal getaway, full-time residence, or income-producing investment, this property is ready to enjoy from day one and currently operates as a successful vacation rental with an excellent rental history. Set on 1.65 picturesque acres, the property feels like your own private mountain sanctuary. A peaceful pond, cascading waterfalls, flowing stream, and cozy firepit create the perfect backdrop for relaxing evenings under the stars. Surrounded by native landscaping, flowering gardens, and mature trees, every corner of the property invites you to slow down and take in the beauty of the mountains. A circular driveway welcomes you home and provides easy access and additional parking, while the spacious 3-car garage includes a charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest house above, making it ideal for hosting family and friends in comfort and privacy. Inside, warm mountain character meets spacious, functional living. The large eat-in kitchen serves as the heart of the home, anchored by a wood-burning fireplace that creates the perfect gathering space after a day spent exploring Highlands. With a total of three fireplaces throughout the home, inviting spaces for gathering and relaxing can be found on every level. The expansive primary suite offers a private office, large walk-in closet, and a relaxing ensuite bath designed for unwinding at the end of the day. A second bedroom on the main level, along with two additional upstairs bedrooms, provides plenty of room for overnight guests. The terrace level adds even more flexibility with a spacious family room, sleeping area, full bath, and direct access to the backyard oasis. A fenced yard offers the perfect place for pets to roam or for enjoying cool mountain mornings surrounded by nature. The expansive back deck is made for mountain living and perfect for summer cookouts, morning coffee, or simply relaxing to the soothing sounds of the stream and waterfalls below. Additional features, including an encapsulated crawl space and whole-home generator, provide comfort and peace of mind year-round. Less than 3 miles from downtown Highlands, you’ll enjoy easy access to boutique shopping, fine dining, and entertainment while still feeling worlds away.
