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.

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.

Beyond the interiors, an extraordinary adventure awaits. Pass Mo, the enormous bronze moose, and descend into a private enchanted forest that must be experienced to appreciate its magic. Moss-covered paths with cable railings lead down locust-and-stone steps, past a massive boulder where spring water trickles through unusual moss formations, then by a hidden cave. Follow the sound of moving water to a mountain waterfall meandering through the stones—a setting reminiscent of a national park, yet entirely your own. Hike from home and explore a trail network extended by neighboring properties. An oversized two-bay golf-cart garage provides room for multiple carts, clubs and gear, with the clubhouse just a short ride away.
