There's something special about a home that invites you to slow down the moment you arrive. Misty View Cottage is one of those places. Tucked into a peaceful, private mountain setting, this lovingly maintained 3-bed, 2-bath cottage combines the character of days gone by with thoughtful updates for comfortable living today. Imagine opening the windows to mountain air, hearing the nearby stream, and spending long mornings on the covered wraparound porch with nowhere you need to be. Established perennials return year after year, while a generous garden spot is ready for tomatoes, beans, flowers—or whatever you've been dreaming of growing. Inside, the home's history hasn't been erased. Original narrow-plank hardwood floors, wood doors, and an old-fashioned wood-burning cook stove give the cottage a character that simply can't be recreated. The spacious living room features a large picture window and fireplace with wood-burning insert—the kind of room made for a crackling fire on a cool mountain evening. With two living areas, there's plenty of room to spread out. The primary suite offers a large walk-in closet and spacious private bath. The home has been beautifully maintained and improved over the years, with updates including windows, vinyl siding, plumbing, electrical, covered wraparound porches, and the primary bedroom and bath addition. A newer central heating and air system features dual-fuel heat with both propane and electric, providing modern year-round comfort while preserving the cottage's vintage appeal. Outside, a 1940s-era shed with its own root cellar is a wonderful reminder of the property's past. A large two-section storage building and additional open-ended shed provide plenty of space for tools, gardening equipment and mountain-living necessities. Misty View Cottage isn't trying to be brand new—and that's exactly its charm. It's a well-cared-for mountain home where porches are meant to be used, gardens are meant to be planted, and the sound of the stream may just become your favorite part of the day.

3 Beds ⋅ 1 Baths ⋅ 26048404 MLS
This enchanting 3-bedroom, 1 bath hidden artist's haven was known as the "caretakers lot" of the original Cold Springs development and is just 4 miles from the charm of Main Street, Highlands. 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. In 2020, all the kitchen appliances were replaced with stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and electric stove and there's a washer and dryer in a separate laundry/storage room. In 2002, lifetime vinyl windows were installed, inviting the mountain light to pour in while keeping the elements at bay. 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. Whether you're sipping coffee as the morning mist rises or watching horses run in the fenced pasture across the way, this sanctuary is ideal for painters, writers, and dreamers alike. Recently installed fiber optic internet, and a Generac generator ready for any season, this mountain retreat offers both serenity and reliability. The home is in a desired area of Highlands and is ideal as a vacation rental, investment opportunity, or first home. It is nestled behind a lush wall of Rhododendron making for private, peaceful sanctuary and the level, circular driveway makes for easy access, year-round. Over the years, this home has been well-maintained. The well pump was replaced in 2005 on the shared well, as well as the LP gas furnace in 2009, ensuring warmth through crisp mountain winters. The home's solid metal roof was installed, and the interior was painted in 2014. The exterior was painted along with the installation of oversized gutters and guards to protect the home through all seasons in 2018. There are no restrictions on short-term rentals so this cozy country cottage would be a great deal for an investor.

There are homes that are decorated, and there are homes that are collected, and this enchanting Mirror Lake cottage is decidedly the latter. Thoughtfully and professionally edited throughout, the residence reflects an effortless sense of style that feels both refined and unmistakably Highlands. Warm, wormy chestnut wood-paneled rooms transition beautifully into light-filled spaces with painted tongue-and-groove ceilings, exposed beams, hardwood floors, natural textures, and an artful mix of furnishings and artwork gathered with intention; sleek satin pewter and polished nickel door and cabinet hardware from PE Guerin in Greenwich Village, NYC, adds sophistication throughout. Offering one bedroom, two full baths, and versatile flex space, the home has been designed around comfortable, gracious living rather than convention. Intimate gathering areas invite conversation, reading, dining, and quiet afternoons at home, while each room maintains its own distinct character. Offered fully furnished, the cottage provides a rare opportunity to step into a home whose atmosphere has been carefully considered from room to room. Outdoors, a gravel drive leads to mature landscaping, blooming hydrangeas, and charming gravel pathways with stone insets, along with secluded garden spaces that extend the interior's peaceful feel. Located in the sought-after Mirror Lake neighborhood, just minutes from the heart of downtown Highlands, 286 Mirror Lake Road is a beautifully composed mountain retreat that captures the understated elegance and enduring character of Highlands cottage living.
