Held by the same family since 1925, this remarkable 19.4038-acre parcel along Buck Creek Road and High Pasture offers a rare opportunity to own a beautiful, largely untouched piece of the Highlands Plateau. For more than a century, nature has been the architect here, creating a captivating landscape of towering hardwoods, lush ferns, native flora, and peaceful woodland surroundings. Wander beneath the forest canopy and discover a wonderful combination of gently rolling terrain, natural slopes, and areas cleared years ago, all offering possibilities for thoughtfully situated mountain homesites. A seasonal dry creek bed near the upper portion of the property adds another intriguing natural feature, while selective clearing will reveal views of the surrounding mountain vistas. With more than 600 feet of frontage along Buck Creek Road, paved access, and an additional level approach from the High Pasture and Nall Farm, the property offers flexibility for exploring future access and homesite options. Bordering U.S. Forest Service land along the Western boundary. Never previously developed or built upon, the property presents a blank canvas ready for its new owners to make their own. A recent survey with marked property boundaries provides a valuable starting point for envisioning what comes next. And while the setting feels wonderfully removed from the everyday, the conveniences of Highlands are close at hand. Located just minutes along Buck Creek Road, near the local convenience center, and approximately 10 minutes from the shops, restaurants, and charm of Main Street Highlands, this property offers a delightful balance of seclusion and accessibility.

Nestled in a quiet cove with breathtaking pastoral views, you'll find this charming farmhouse with an inviting rocking chair front porch beautifully situated under gorgeous shade trees. The owners have lovingly cared for this property for many years, and it shows. It's been said that age is just a number, and this is evident when you walk through the doors of this quaint home. The current owners did extensive work to the home when it was purchased in 1992 including the addition of the front porch, refurbishing the kitchen, and work to the flooring base. In 1994, the screened gazebo was added, and a metal roof was installed in 2016. You'll be tempted to wile away the hours on the porch or inside the screened gazebo, but with two ponds on the property, this land is also ripe for farm or pasture use. Inside the house, a wood burning fireplace will warm you when the temperatures start to fall. The ambiance of this home will transport you to simpler times but with modern-day conveniences (the refrigerator, washer, and water heater are new). The seller has updated the electrical system, and there is a brand new 3 bedroom septic system that has just been installed. Above the house is a 30 x 40 powered workshop/garage which offers unlimited options for use.....and it's being completely refurbished! A recent fire affected the interior; ServPro is doing a remediation and renovation, so the inside will all be brand new. The property comes alive in spring and summer with hydrangeas, dahlias, dogwood trees, Rose of Sharon, and a magnolia. The splendor of fall is evident in the October Glory maple which shows off once the cool weather comes and leaves start their transition to autumn. Need to work from home? Fiber optic is available through Frontier. There is a graded house site for anyone looking to build something new and other potential house sites if a family compound sounds attractive. This listing includes two parcels: 6577904393 house and 3.95 acres; 6577908261 8.74 acres. To protect the integrity of the property, the deed at closing will include these restrictions: "1. No untagged vehicles; 2. No commercial activity; 3. No livestock except horses, cows, and chickens." Properties like this don't come along every day.....take a look for yourself! You may just find home!

Screened from the road by a mature evergreen hedge, it offers a sense of privacy and a gracious approach. A wide porch wraps around three sides of the home, with decking laid on a true north–south axis and the Continental Divide running through the middle of the house. In the evenings, the North Star is centered in the view from the porch, with the Big Dipper pointing directly to it. The porch provides two comfortable seating areas plus an outdoor dining space overlooking the Hosta garden. Inside, high ceilings and two fireplaces create airy, welcoming living spaces. The vaulted living room is a standout, featuring beams salvaged from Charlotte’s original train station for distinctive historic character. The main level includes an owner’s bedroom and bath, as well as a conveniently located half-bath off the entrance hall. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms and three baths, a library area, and a separate office. From the office and the two front-facing bedrooms you can see the farm’s pastures and Scaly Mountain, while the third bedroom opens to a balcony overlooking the rear terrace and garden area. A two-car garage connects to the main house via a covered breezeway, with the parking area screened from the back gardens by hydrangeas and evergreens. The property also offers a potting shed designed by Atlanta architect Tom Ventulett and a separate tool house. Extensive gardens showcase a wide variety of conifers, a raised fenced vegetable garden, terraced beds with dahlias and other flowers for cutting, and a wooded Hosta trail leading to an orchard with about a dozen apple and pear trees. Near the gardens and orchard, a croquet court enclosed by an evergreen hedge provides a spacious, level setting for recreation or tented outdoor events.

Imagine a life where each morning begins with a short walk from your front gate across the street to the trail leading directly into the heart of Highlands. Here, daily life balances effortless access to vibrant mountain living with the calm privacy of a wooded sanctuary. Set on four remarkable acres just moments from town, this estate is more than a beautiful home—it is part of Highlands’ enduring story. The property traces its origins to the early influence of the Ravenel family of Charleston, whose extensive landholdings helped shape the Plateau. Today, these acres carry forward that legacy, offering a rare sense of continuity and place. What makes this offering especially rare is the land itself. Unlike many in-town properties, these four acres are largely usable—opening the door to a more intentional way of living. Whether envisioned as a gentleman’s farm, greenhouse, or thoughtfully designed family compound, the property lends itself naturally to a more sustainable lifestyle—all just minutes from Main Street. Built circa 1922 by the Evins family and thoughtfully restored by builder John Underwood with design by architect Sam Edgens, the home honors its history while living comfortably for today. A gated entrance and laurel-lined drive lead to an elegant three-story mountain colonial of approximately 6,500 square feet. Inside, original oak and antique chestnut floors harvested from the land, stone fireplaces, handcrafted millwork, & more than 60 windows create warmth and scale. In-floor hydronic heating on the first and second levels ensures year-round comfort. The chef’s kitchen, with its own fireplace, invites both casual mornings and refined entertaining, while spa-inspired baths and flexible third-floor spaces support everyday living and hosting alike. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with stone patios, a Rumford-style fireplace, heated pool, and spa surrounded by mature plantings. The home sits on the continental divide so rain from the front flows towards the west and rain from the back of the home flows east. An activity barn, trails, and expansive lawns offer space for recreation and reflection, while a guest cottage & additional accommodations above the garage support a multi-generational retreat. Just beyond, the Rhododendron Trail connects to Ravenel Lake, Sunset Rock, & downtown Highlands. This is a legacy property, private, connected, and increasingly rare.
