It's called Forest Trail for a reason. Surrounding the prestigious Cold Springs Saddle & Tennis Club — and this residence — are national forest, hiking trails, a well-stocked trout stream and lake, plus the pristine horse pastures. Beyond the trees stands the crown jewel of the community — a home reimagined through a comprehensive, designer-led renovation. Light pours through fresh, open rooms dressed in curated, high-end finishes: wide-plank white oak floors, honed soapstone, crisp white shiplap, and beamed ceilings, all in a palette that feels warm, current, and quietly luxurious. Outside, an equally tasteful landscape plan — quintessentially "Highlands Style" — blends into the sloping terrain, which gives way to a rare, large flat backyard set just off the home's two expansive covered balconies. With generous living space that flows effortlessly from hearth to covered deck, this home lives as beautifully as it looks — across two full levels, inside and out. The main level is a true retreat: a stone fireplace, a chef's galley kitchen with custom banquette, dining for twelve if needed, an open family room, a double garage, a full covered deck, guest quarters, and a serene primary suite. The bright, airy lower level opens with a grand club room — big enough for a full media lounge and a pool table — that spills onto a large lower-level balcony and out to the backyard for a game of croquet, plus another large bedroom and a bonus flex room or easily transformed into an optional 4th bedroom. Furniture does not convey, however; it is negotiable. Walk to the canoe and kayak dock, fly fish from the island, keep your horses on-site in a private stable, and experience quietude like never before — all just ten minutes and under three miles from downtown Highlands.

The home at 7 Del Prado was built in 1974, making it one of the original structures in the Cowee Mountain community. Sitting at just under 3,500 feet of elevation on a quiet .43-acre lot, it offers tremendous views in nearly every direction from atop the mountain, the same view corridor that hasn't changed much since Bartram rode through 250 years ago. It's part of a small, established neighborhood with roots that run as deep as the surrounding ridgelines. Today, that original 1974 home is on the market for the first time in recent memory. Two bedrooms, two baths, roughly 976 square feet, with a detached one-car garage.
