Property Description
Nothing to do here but enjoy it. Just ten minutes from downtown Highlands, this gorgeously renovated, nearly 3,700-square-foot home sits in a hidden gem of a community that feels like a country club without the country club dues. The big work is already done... a new roof, new HVAC systems and new water heaters... so there's nothing left but to arrive, settle in and enjoy, with plenty to do right outside your door. 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.
