4 Beds ⋅ 4 Baths ⋅ 1003210 MLS
In the heart of Webbmont, just minutes from downtown Highlands, North Carolina, this extraordinary property stands as a timeless expression of classic Highlands craftsmanship — beautifully preserved, thoughtfully expanded, and elevated for modern luxury living. The home began as a stone building in the 1890s. In the late 1930s, renowned Highlands builder Joe Webb built a log cabin atop the original structure. Joe Webb cabins are among the most sought-after architectural treasures on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau, and a treatise on the Webbmont neighborhood calls this example “the Joe Webb piece de resistance” The home was thoughtfully expanded, with the cabin and its bold stone fireplace as its heart, adding a bedroom with an ensuite bathroom on the main level and a primary suite on the upper level, in addition to a bedroom and bathroom in the original stone structure. On the main level is a kitchen designed for entertaining featuring a large Sub-Zero fridge, a Thermador gas cooktop, dual Dacor wall ovens, two Bosch dishwashers, and a bar sink with a standalone ice maker. Residents and guests can gather around the wood-burning fireplace in the living room or on the expansive screened porch. The property also features a one-bedroom guest cottage with a kitchenette and fireplace. Stone paths wind through the 2.18-acre property, leading to the original spring house signed by Joe Webb, a fire pit, and a charming waterfall. Offered fully furnished, this legacy estate also benefits from a strong rental history and, notably, is not subject to the Town of Highlands’ short-term rental restrictions, offering rare flexibility for both personal use and income potential. For those who value architectural pedigree, history, and place, this is a rare opportunity to own an authentic Joe Webb cabin — reimagined for today while honoring its remarkable past.
