6 Beds ⋅ 8 Baths ⋅ 1002981 MLS
Imagine a life where each morning begins with a short walk from your front gate across the street to the trail leading directly into the heart of Highlands. Here, daily life balances effortless access to vibrant mountain living with the calm privacy of a wooded sanctuary. Set on four remarkable acres just moments from town, this estate is more than a beautiful home—it is part of Highlands’ enduring story. The property traces its origins to the early influence of the Ravenel family of Charleston, whose extensive landholdings helped shape the Plateau. Today, these acres carry forward that legacy, offering a rare sense of continuity and place. What makes this offering especially rare is the land itself. Unlike many in-town properties, these four acres are largely usable—opening the door to a more intentional way of living. Whether envisioned as a gentleman’s farm, greenhouse, or thoughtfully designed family compound, the property lends itself naturally to a more sustainable lifestyle—all just minutes from Main Street. Built circa 1922 by the Evins family and thoughtfully restored by builder John Underwood with design by architect Sam Edgens, the home honors its history while living comfortably for today. A gated entrance and laurel-lined drive lead to an elegant three-story mountain colonial of approximately 6,500 square feet. Inside, original oak and antique chestnut floors harvested from the land, stone fireplaces, handcrafted millwork, & more than 60 windows create warmth and scale. In-floor hydronic heating on the first and second levels ensures year-round comfort. The chef’s kitchen, with its own fireplace, invites both casual mornings and refined entertaining, while spa-inspired baths and flexible third-floor spaces support everyday living and hosting alike. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with stone patios, a Rumford-style fireplace, heated pool, and spa surrounded by mature plantings. The home sits on the continental divide so rain from the front flows towards the west and rain from the back of the home flows east. An activity barn, trails, and expansive lawns offer space for recreation and reflection, while a guest cottage & additional accommodations above the garage support a multi-generational retreat. Just beyond, the Rhododendron Trail connects to Ravenel Lake, Sunset Rock, & downtown Highlands. This is a legacy property, private, connected, and increasingly rare. Seller will pay for a Caretaker & Concierge for 2 years from closing.

Steeped in history and thoughtfully reimagined for modern mountain living, this exceptional log home blends authentic craftsmanship, rare reclaimed materials, and contemporary comfort in a setting that feels both timeless and inviting. Constructed from historic logs dating to the 1880s, the home showcases the distinctive wide face of each log, a feature highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of early American log construction. While local lore suggests Daniel Boone once spent a night in one of the original cabins, what is certain is the remarkable care taken to preserve and celebrate the heritage of these historic structures. The home was carefully redesigned by an architect and reconstructed by renowned Highlands craftsman Tommy Chambers, widely regarded as one of the region’s foremost authorities on historic log construction. Unlike many historic cabins, this residence was engineered for comfort and efficiency. Spray foam insulation between each log, concealed within traditional concrete chinking, creates an energy efficient structure while preserving the authentic character of the original materials. Energy efficient windows and an encapsulated crawl space further enhance year round comfort, while heated floors in both bathrooms add a luxurious touch during cooler mountain seasons. Extraordinary reclaimed materials bring warmth and authenticity throughout the interior. The kitchen, dining areas, and select walls feature rare river reclaimed wide board cypress sourced from the owner’s private collection, a species no longer commercially available. In the primary suite, heart pine flooring anchors the room, while reclaimed wormy chestnut accents in the gable ends and antique tobacco poles used as exposed rafters create a rich architectural statement that reflects the home’s Appalachian heritage. The separate guest cottage, connected by a covered breezeway, features a bedroom and continues the theme of carefully curated materials, with reclaimed mixed hardwood flooring. It is privately positioned and served by its own mini-split system and offers comfortable accommodations for visiting family and friends. Blending historic authenticity with thoughtful modern improvements, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to experience the enduring character of a nineteenth century Appalachian log home enhanced with the comfort and craftsmanship expected in a refined mountain retreat.
