Welcome to Fern Mist, a private 11+ acre mountain estate where breathtaking views, beautifully cultivated grounds, and thoughtful design come together just minutes from Highlands. With interiors by acclaimed Atlanta designer Stephen Pararo, the residence blends sophistication with the warmth of mountain living. A gated, paved drive winds past an orchard, gardens, and wildflowers before arriving at the home, perfectly positioned to capture expansive 180-degree, long-range mountain views. Inside, vaulted, beamed ceilings, warm wood floors, and three stone fireplaces bring character to the light-filled interiors. The open living and dining areas flow into a chef's kitchen featuring an expansive island, a 48-inch six-burner gas range with double steam ovens, two dishwashers, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, refrigerator drawers, an ice maker, and a built-in coffee station. The main-level primary suite is a true retreat with an eye-level stone fireplace, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious bathroom with a marble steam shower. A dedicated office sits just off the main living and dining area. Downstairs, two ensuite guest bedrooms offer privacy and direct access to the lower covered porch and grounds. Outdoor living is woven into every part of Fern Mist. Expansive wraparound porches, including covered, screened, and open-air spaces, invite you to enjoy the magnificent views. A cascading waterfall and pond lead to a flagstone fire pit with a gas starter. Beautiful rock walls terrace the property, complementing stone pathways, lush landscaping, and landscape moonlighting. Two outbuildings add exceptional versatility. One serves as a private workout studio and "she-shed," while the larger workshop features a wood-burning stove, a lounge area with a television, a workspace, and additional storage. Fiber internet, a 20-kW generator, and zoned dual-fuel heating provide modern conveniences. Fern Mist is more than a mountain home. It is a true Plateau estate, offering remarkable privacy, magnificent views, and an extraordinary Highlands lifestyle.

2 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ 1004216 MLS
Tucked at the end of a private gravel road on 3.94 acres bordering National Forest, this beautifully renovated retreat is the definition of true seclusion — the kind where you can't see another rooftop, Nicholas Branch runs along the property's edge, and hiking can happen right from your front door. Inside, a fully reimagined kitchen blends European charm with brand-new GE Cafe appliances — hand-painted tile, a statement copper hood, and cabinetry with real personality. The great room's wood-beamed ceilings and stone fireplace set the tone for the whole home: warm, unfussy, and built for gathering. Upstairs, both bedrooms open onto a screened porch outfitted with a swinging bed, where the view of White Rock Mountain does most of the talking. Outside, a covered porch with its own stone fireplace looks out over the rock-face view, while the flat, fenced backyard — complete with a stone retaining wall, a fire pit, and a storybook garden shed — makes the most of rare level ground in the mountains. A second deck offers even more room to gather. Set in the charming community of Scaly Mountain, the property is just 20 minutes from downtown Highlands and Clayton, Georgia — close enough for dinner out or an afternoon on Main Street, far enough to feel like your own world. The Bartram Trail crosses the ridges nearby, and Highlands Aerial Park and Highlands Outpost are just down the road for zip lining, tubing, and trout fishing. This is mountain living with room to breathe: more trees, more silence, and a setting that can't be replicated closer to town. This is a home for buyers who know exactly what they're looking for: uncompromising privacy, a renovation done right, and a place that offers the best of both worlds — the quiet of the mountains and the culture of Highlands, minutes away.

2 Beds ⋅ 3 Baths ⋅ 1003795 MLS
Tucked into the Osage Estates subdivision — accessed through the sought-after Rocky Knob community — this two-bedroom mountain retreat pairs easy living with an unbeatable setting. Neighborhood trails wind past a community lake and throughout the property, and the sense of community here runs deep: neighbors wave, stop to chat, and genuinely look out for one another. Inside, an open floor plan has been thoughtfully updated throughout. The kitchen is the heart of the home, anchored by a striking wood slab island with seating for several — the kind of gathering spot that makes everyday cooking feel like an event. Both bedrooms offer the privacy and convenience of ensuite bathrooms, ideal for owners and guests alike. A huge loft area with a half bathroom adds flexible living space — perfect as a home office, den, or creative studio. Below, a large basement/garage offers as-is storage and parking, with future potential for additional living space. Step out onto the porch and take in sweeping views of Rabun Bald — your morning coffee, evening cocktail, or quiet moment spot, with pileated woodpeckers, hummingbirds, and other wildlife making regular appearances. At 10-15 degrees cooler than the surrounding lowlands, Scaly Mountain's climate makes this a true four-season retreat, with live music at the Vineyard at High Holly, local arts and crafts shows, and breathtaking scenery rounding out the lifestyle. Best of both worlds: just 15 minutes to downtown Highlands, NC, and 20 minutes to Clayton, GA — both offering exceptional shopping, dining, and culture — then retreat to your private mountain escape for peace and quiet. A rare offering in a community built for connection, comfort, and mountain living at its best.

Sky High Cottage presents a unique opportunity to enjoy mountain living from a peaceful, elevated setting at approximately 4,100 feet above sea level — higher than Main Street in Highlands. Tucked at the end of the road, this private retreat offers a true sense of escape while remaining just minutes from town. Surrounded by mature, native landscaping — rhododendron, weeping cherry, and blooming hydrangeas — the home blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings, with Scaly Mountain providing a beautiful backdrop. Protected National Forest land borders the property, and a Forest Service road just beyond the driveway leads directly to the Bartram Trail, offering effortless access to hiking and outdoor adventure. And yet, it remains conveniently connected to the local community — only about 15 minutes to Highlands and 30 minutes to Clayton. Outdoor living is a standout feature, with both covered and open decks designed to take full advantage of the cool mountain air and treetop views. A charming stone patio below creates an inviting space for gathering, relaxing, or enjoying quiet evenings in nature. Inside, the home is warm and inviting, centered around a Malm gas fireplace (with the option to convert to wood-burning) in the main living area. The layout flows comfortably between the living, kitchen, and dining spaces, making it ideal for both everyday living and casual entertaining. Two spacious bedrooms share a well-sized bathroom, and the metal roof adds to the cozy mountain ambiance — especially during a passing rain. Practical upgrades such as HardiePlank-style siding, an encapsulated crawl space, and a tankless water heater provide low-maintenance, efficient living. The property also offers flexibility for future expansion or customization, giving the next owner the opportunity to enhance and grow the home over time. Offered furnished, the cottage is ready for immediate enjoyment. With its privacy, elevation, and direct access to outdoor recreation, it also offers excellent potential as a short-term or seasonal rental investment.
