Description

Welcome to 72 Moonlight Lane, a rare mountain sanctuary where architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony. Set amid a breathtaking landscape thoughtfully cultivated over the past two decades by renowned local landscape architect Jimmy Tate, this remarkable property offers an experience as enchanting as it is unforgettable. From the moment you arrive, the property unfolds as a living work of art. Meandering paths wind through mature native trees, vibrant gardens, and thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces. With 300+- feet of creek frontage, the grounds feature tranquil water features and a picturesque pond that mirrors the surrounding mountain landscape. Every detail has been crafted to create a sense of peace, privacy, and connection to nature, making the grounds as remarkable as the residence itself. The main residence blends timeless mountain character with inviting living spaces designed for gathering and relaxation. Generous living areas create an atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming. The undeniable centerpiece is the spectacular porch room—a grand indoor-outdoor living space that delivers the property's true "wow factor." Surrounded by natural beauty and filled with light, this stunning room is the heart of the home, offering the perfect place to entertain, dine, or simply enjoy the sights and sounds of the creek, pond, and gardens beyond. Perhaps the most magical feature of the estate is its professionally constructed luxury tree house. Elevated among the trees, this extraordinary retreat offers sweeping views while providing every modern comfort. Complete with a fireplace, wet bar, bathroom, dining area, and lounge space, it is the ultimate setting for entertaining guests, enjoying sunset cocktails, or escaping into the serenity of the mountains. The property consists of two separate lots totaling 2.23 acres (1.01 acres and 1.22 acres). The 1.01-acre parcel offers access to available water and sewer connections, creating an opportunity to build an additional residence, expand the gardens, or sell the lot separately! 72 Moonlight Lane is more than a home—it is a private mountain retreat, garden estate, and legacy property. Combining exceptional craftsmanship, unforgettable outdoor living, and one of the most captivating landscapes in Highlands, this is a place where memories are made and nature is celebrated every day.
