Thoughtfully reimagined through a comprehensive, designer-led renovation, the residence is filled with natural light and elevated finishes, including wide-plank white oak floors, honed soapstone, crisp white shiplap and striking beamed ceilings. The warm, sophisticated palette feels current yet timeless, while expansive covered balconies and a rare, level backyard create an exceptional connection between indoor and outdoor living. The main level offers a welcoming stone fireplace, a chef's galley kitchen with a custom banquette, dining space for twelve, an open family room, a double garage, a full covered deck, guest quarters and a serene primary suite. The bright lower level features a generous club room with space for a media lounge and pool table, opening to a covered balcony and the backyard... perfect for croquet, entertaining or relaxed afternoons outdoors. An additional bedroom and a versatile bonus room, ideal for an office, gym or overflow guests, complete the lower level. Outside, the Highlands-style landscape follows the natural slope of the property before opening to the unusually large, flat backyard. True to its name, Forest Trail is surrounded by national forest, hiking trails, pristine horse pastures, a well-stocked trout stream and lake, and the prestigious Cold Springs Saddle & Tennis Club. Residents can walk to the canoe and kayak dock, fly fish from the island or keep horses in a private stable on site, all with a level of privacy, recreation and natural beauty rarely found so close to downtown Highlands. Furnishings available separately.

*Owners are motivated!* Come experience the history of this 19 acre tract with topography that ranges from flat, to long range mountain views throughout the wooded area of the property. An old mica mine is located at the top and owner tells me that this was used by area residents long ago to dig and send off to be used for military electronics during WWII. A large cornfield was located on the property back in the 1950s and was harvested and brought to a corn mill at the bottom to be processed. The foundation of this mill still stands today. Numerous potential build sites dot the property and owner was informed by an excavation expert that the property could easily be divided into multiple lots with privacy on each one. A roughed in road is carved into the property and would be a great start to building a network of ATV trails or roads. Minimal restrictions are only on a portion of the property which makes this a good opportunity to develop, or to keep all to yourself and have an abundance of privacy. Hunting camp anyone?
