These two cottages have had many, many years of summer love. The 2.55 acres has big open yard space, thick with the kind of Moss only old parcels have. The land is tucked up under N Old Walhalla Rd. Complete privacy. A short path over two small bridges cross the creeks and bring you to the smaller 1/1 cottage. Repairs and renovations began throughout the house in 2019 but ran off track as the pandemic derailed so many plans. It's time these cottages get some year round love and attention. While they are not in Highlands City Limits they do have Public water and Town Electric. A great investment as short term rental or employee housing project. It could be a very sweet spot to live. *Don't miss how well the basement and foundation work has been done in the Main House. Entry from inside is under stairway. Light switch is on right.
