High above the busier areas of Highlands Country Club, this home offers a sense of peace from the moment you arrive. The setting is private and quiet, with less passing traffic and the Nantahala National Forest bordering the property. The drive climbs to a higher elevation, but once at the home, the land levels into a remarkably walkable setting—an uncommon find among mountain properties with views. An architecturally distinctive porte cochere creates a memorable, sheltered arrival, while generous parking makes welcoming family and friends easy. Inside, beautiful wood details add warmth and character, balanced by clean, contemporary design. Twenty skylights, abundant windows, and glass doors fill the interiors with natural light. The home looks east across the Cashiers Valley toward Whiteside Mountain, with Satulah and Shortoff Mountains also visible. Mornings begin as the sun rises over the valley and slowly illuminates Whiteside—an ever-changing view that makes early hours especially memorable. The wraparound deck offers multiple places to enjoy coffee as the mountains awaken, gather for conversation, or listen to the quiet of the surrounding forest. At the center of the main level, an expansive great room is designed for gathering. Nearby, the sleek, modern kitchen features a generous island and concealed pantry, keeping necessities close while preserving its uncluttered appearance. A sunroom offers another inviting place to enjoy the changing light and scenery. Secluded from the rest of the home, the primary suite is a private retreat with a fireplace, oversized walk-in closet, and access to the covered deck. Across the great room, a separate guest wing offers two spacious suites, each with its own private deck. This thoughtful separation allows owners and guests to spend time together while enjoying genuine privacy. Upstairs, an additional bedroom and play area open to another private deck, creating a peaceful retreat away from the activity below. Composite decking, a gently pitched roof, an extensive copper gutter system, and redesigned drainage make the home easier to care for. With its high elevation, rare walkable setting, sunrise views across the Cashiers Valley, abundant natural light, and National Forest backdrop, this home makes the most of its extraordinary Highlands surroundings.

The updated kitchen is both beautiful and functional, featuring quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, generous pantry, and a spacious dining area that naturally becomes the gathering place for family and friends. Whitewashed pine accents, crown molding, and a cozy gas fireplace create a warm, timeless feel that complements the mountain setting. Both bedrooms open directly into a bright sunroom, where long-range mountain views and natural light invite you to slow down and enjoy every season. Whether it's your morning coffee or an evening with a good book, this space quickly becomes a favorite. Designed to adapt with your lifestyle, the home includes an interior laundry room along with a heated and finished one-car garage complete with an additional laundry hookup. The garage offers excellent potential for a guest suite, office, hobby space, or additional bedroom. Outdoor living is just as impressive. Brand-new Trex decking creates expansive, low-maintenance outdoor spaces designed for entertaining, relaxing, and taking in the mountain air, while the brand-new hot tub offers the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring Western North Carolina. Beautifully maintained landscaping, raised garden beds, and inviting outdoor living areas showcase the pride of ownership found throughout the property. Move-in ready with thoughtful updates, flexible living spaces, new Trex decking, a brand-new hot tub, a new roof, new windows, and an unbeatable location close to everything Franklin has to offer, this is the kind of mountain home that's becoming increasingly difficult to find.
