Just minutes outside of Highlands, along the Mountain Waters Scenic Byway, the Cullasaja River winds through miles of protected National Forest, untouched, timeless, and breathtaking and then...there is this. A rare pocket of private land, with less than ten homes, and one extraordinary retreat. Welcome to Goldmine Fish Camp! Brokers/Owners When we found this property, we knew it was something special. Featuring a waterfall in the backyard, Goldmine Creek running alongside the home and the Cullasaja River flowing through the front yard. Two years ago, we bought this home for ourselves. We completely gutted it - reimagining every space, every detail - creating what is essentially a brand-new home. Today, it is fully furnished, thoughtfully designed and truly turnkey. With designer furnishings, fine linens, and a fully stocked kitchen this home is ready for you to arrive, unpack and begin living. In our real estate business, we are privileged to help fulfill our clients' dreams every day, and sometimes that means sacrificing our own. We imagined this as our weekend escape, a place to slow down and enjoy all that nature has to offer, but reality has other plans. We remain committed to our clients' needs and are unable to carve out the time to enjoy this piece of paradise. So now, our dream becomes your opportunity. Fish in the river, float the Cullasaja or pan for gold in Goldmine Creek. Share meals in the gazebo with fireplace, sit around the firepit and share stories with family and friends and let nature set the pace. This isn't just a home; it's a legacy retreat. The last family owned it for forty years. This is a home where memories are made and kept. Your dream is ready to come true!! Owners/Brokers

This property is a premier riverfront lot in the Highlands Plateau area. There are limited properties along the majestic Cullasaja River, and none rival this lot's setting in the Highlands Gorge, overlooking the rushing waters with views that will forever be preserved with surrounding National Forestland. The property is within the Highlands Gorge community, with power, a shared well, and paved access. The 1.33-acre parcel includes ownership to the mid-way point in the Cullasaja River and contains both sides of Crow Creek, a stunning, rushing mountain stream that cascades through the property and joins the river. With gently sloping terrain, an ideal building site runs along the bank of the property's 180' river frontage. Enhancing the ability to plan the lot, it also provides a quarter-acre easement on the adjacent parcel upon which prior approval has been obtained for septic. The property has been surveyed for topography and trees and shown with this listing are the owner/architect's conceptual plans of a three-bedroom, timber-framed home and detached cabin to help visualize the potential. Found just two short turns off Highway 64 between Franklin and Highlands, this is an extraordinary opportunity to create a secluded, riverfront home in the forested lands of the Highlands River Gorge. Fish and explore this otherwise inaccessible stretch of river as it extends through the National Forest to Cullasaja Falls, and enjoy the year-round grandeur of this unspoiled, natural landscape.
