Step inside to find refinished, narrow-planked hardwood floors that glow with warmth, setting the tone for a home that invites creativity, reflection, and escape. You will find a beautifully renovated kitchen with granite counter tops, modern tile back splash and new cabinets.

And a full bathroom remodel was done in 2020 with a granite countertop sink, vanity, shower/bath with frameless glass sliding doors, and tile flooring. The two car garage is spacious and is wired for 220 voltage, enough power for an artist's studio or workshop. Enhancing the feel of quiet enchantment are the tall rhododendrons that offer seclusion and privacy, and a pollinating garden landscaped along the fence that frames the yard.

The exterior was painted along with the installation of oversized gutters and guards to protect the home through all seasons in 2018.

Tucked into 3.09 private, unrestricted acres with no HOA, this fully reimagined mountain retreat pairs warm, custom craftsmanship with the kind of usable, gently terraced land that's genuinely rare on the plateau. A series of flat, landscaped tiers step down from the home toward a stone fire pit patio, giving you real outdoor living space to match the views — including a 180-degree mountain vista in the winter months. Inside, tobacco weathered acacia wood flooring runs throughout, setting a warm tone for every space. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, with custom wood cabinetry, high-end appliances, a breakfast bar, and French doors that open straight onto the deck — with a cozy coffee nook tucked just off to the side. A wood-beamed living room centers on a stacked-stone fireplace, and the adjoining dining room is finished with wainscoting. All three bedrooms are ensuite with king beds. The primary suite is a retreat of its own: a private office with French doors opening to the deck and mountain views, a spa-caliber bathroom with a custom stone-wall walk-in shower, and a built-in sauna that seats four. Heated slate floors run through all three bathrooms. A well-appointed laundry room adds a stackable washer/dryer, a sink, and a custom built-in dog bed. Outside, the home offers an oversized two-car garage/outbuilding with untapped potential, a circular driveway, a single-car carport, and dedicated RV parking — all connected by a gravel drive that winds past the terraced, landscaped grounds. It's a rare combination of privacy and usable land in the Highlands market, with views of Yellow Mountain from the property. In the last two years, the sellers have replaced the septic system, furnace, and water heater, rewired and re-plumbed the entire home, rebuilt the deck, and added additional insulation for year-round efficiency — the next owner inherits not just beautiful finishes, but a home that's been renewed from the ground up. Just 5 minutes to the Yellow Mountain trailhead, 15 minutes to downtown Highlands, 25 minutes to Cashiers, and 30 minutes to Franklin — private, move-in ready, and perfectly positioned to enjoy everything the Plateau has to offer.
