Below, a large basement/garage offers as-is storage and parking, with future potential for additional living space. Step out onto the porch and take in sweeping views of Rabun Bald — your morning coffee, evening cocktail, or quiet moment spot, with pileated woodpeckers, hummingbirds, and other wildlife making regular appearances. At 10-15 degrees cooler than the surrounding lowlands, Scaly Mountain's climate makes this a true four-season retreat, with live music at the Vineyard at High Holly, local arts and crafts shows, and breathtaking scenery rounding out the lifestyle. Best of both worlds: just 15 minutes to downtown Highlands, NC, and 20 minutes to Clayton, GA — both offering exceptional shopping, dining, and culture — then retreat to your private mountain escape for peace and quiet. A rare offering in a community built for connection, comfort, and mountain living at its best.
