Description

Tucked along the Atlanta side of Scaly Mountain and less than ten minutes from downtown Highlands, this nearly 11-acre unrestricted property offers a rare blend of privacy, flexibility, and mountain adventure. Featuring a unique barndominium with a charming one-bedroom bungalow, and a separate one-bedroom guesthouse, the property presents endless possibilities for a family retreat, vacation rental compound, artist’s escape, or multi-generational mountain haven. A gentle stream winds through the property, highlighted by a small waterfall and several beautiful streamside building sites that invite additional homes, cabins, or gathering spaces. The land itself is usable and inviting, with room to explore, relax, and create your own vision in the mountains. The barn is far more than storage. It offers an ideal setting for children’s activities, a workshop, hobby space, collector’s garage, fitness area, or an inspiring artist studio filled with natural mountain ambiance. Perfectly positioned for both tranquility and recreation, the property is just moments from Highlands Outpost, where tubing, trout fishing, and the mountain roller coaster create year-round fun, while the nearby Highlands Aerial Park zipline adventures add even more excitement to the lifestyle. Whether you are seeking a private estate, an income-producing opportunity, or a legacy property to enjoy for generations, this unrestricted mountain retreat is filled with potential.
