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.

Welcome to "Thistlewaite" - a European-inspired masterpiece in the heart of Highlands, North Carolina. Born from the vision of a creative Atlanta couple, Thistlewaite was modeled after an English country house designed in 1900 by renowned architect Edwin Lutyens in the Arts and Crafts tradition. To bring this dream to life, they assembled an extraordinary team: close friend and celebrated classical architect Norman Davenport Askins, legendary builder Tommy Chambers, and acclaimed landscape designer Alex Smith. The result, completed in 2009, is an architectural and garden jewel unlike anything else in Highlands. The property was originally part of the seven-acre site of the adjacent 1930's Joe Webb cabin and still includes its original spring house. To create the home's setting, a small clearing in the forest was sculpted into a flat homesite with a dramatic 24-foot retaining wall. Stone blasted from the site now forms the garden walls, seamlessly tying the residence to its natural surroundings. Cross the stone bridge over a rushing creek and be immediately captivated by the approach garden, a lush entryway that feels like a world apart. Nestled within virgin forest off Big Bear Pen Road, and bordered by Highlands Land Trust property with views of the historic Kelsey Trail, the home welcomes you through a distinctive gatehouse crowned with a zinc ornament salvaged from a circa-1900 Denver building. The gardens act as an extension of the home, with terraces, an outdoor fireplace, and a formal parterre. Two porches - an inviting entrance porch and a "drinking porch" off the living room and primary suite - overlook the gardens and enclosed courtyard. Inside, warm and gracious living spaces unfold: A keeping room with a stone fireplace shared with the kitchen. A scullery kitchen with ovens, dishwasher, and sink, keeping the main kitchen always ready for entertaining. A built-in bar leading to a light-filled room with courtyard views. A formal living room with another fireplace connecting to the luxurious primary suite. Upstairs, three to four additional bedrooms and a cozy second great room provide comfort for family and guests. Materials were chosen with artistry and authenticity: native North Carolina granite, rough-hewn siding milled from hemlock felled on the property, reclaimed beams and barn wood from Pennsylvania, and antique accents such as milestone at the gatehouse.
