$998,500

Tucked at the end of a private gravel road on 3.94 acres bordering National Forest, this beautifully renovated retreat is the definition of true seclusion — the kind where you can't see another rooftop, Nicholas Branch runs along the property's edge, and hiking can happen right from your front door. Inside, a fully reimagined kitchen blends European charm with brand-new GE Cafe appliances — hand-painted tile, a statement copper hood, and cabinetry with real personality. The great room's wood-beamed ceilings and stone fireplace set the tone for the whole home: warm, unfussy, and built for gathering. Upstairs, both bedrooms open onto a screened porch outfitted with a swinging bed, where the view of White Rock Mountain does most of the talking. Outside, a covered porch with its own stone fireplace looks out over the rock-face view, while the flat, fenced backyard — complete with a stone retaining wall, a fire pit, and a storybook garden shed — makes the most of rare level ground in the mountains. A second deck offers even more room to gather. Set in the charming community of Scaly Mountain, the property is just 20 minutes from downtown Highlands and Clayton, Georgia — close enough for dinner out or an afternoon on Main Street, far enough to feel like your own world. The Bartram Trail crosses the ridges nearby, and Highlands Aerial Park and Highlands Outpost are just down the road for zip lining, tubing, and trout fishing. This is mountain living with room to breathe: more trees, more silence, and a setting that can't be replicated closer to town. This is a home for buyers who know exactly what they're looking for: uncompromising privacy, a renovation done right, and a place that offers the best of both worlds — the quiet of the mountains and the culture of Highlands, minutes away.

Sky High Cottage presents a unique opportunity to enjoy mountain living from a peaceful, elevated setting at approximately 4,100 feet above sea level — higher than Main Street in Highlands. Tucked at the end of the road, this private retreat offers a true sense of escape while remaining just minutes from town. Surrounded by mature, native landscaping — rhododendron, weeping cherry, and blooming hydrangeas — the home blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings, with Scaly Mountain providing a beautiful backdrop. Protected National Forest land borders the property, and a Forest Service road just beyond the driveway leads directly to the Bartram Trail, offering effortless access to hiking and outdoor adventure. And yet, it remains conveniently connected to the local community — only about 15 minutes to Highlands and 30 minutes to Clayton. Outdoor living is a standout feature, with both covered and open decks designed to take full advantage of the cool mountain air and treetop views. A charming stone patio below creates an inviting space for gathering, relaxing, or enjoying quiet evenings in nature. Inside, the home is warm and inviting, centered around a Malm gas fireplace (with the option to convert to wood-burning) in the main living area. The layout flows comfortably between the living, kitchen, and dining spaces, making it ideal for both everyday living and casual entertaining. Two spacious bedrooms share a well-sized bathroom, and the metal roof adds to the cozy mountain ambiance — especially during a passing rain. Practical upgrades such as HardiePlank-style siding, an encapsulated crawl space, and a tankless water heater provide low-maintenance, efficient living. The property also offers flexibility for future expansion or customization, giving the next owner the opportunity to enhance and grow the home over time. Offered furnished, the cottage is ready for immediate enjoyment. With its privacy, elevation, and direct access to outdoor recreation, it also offers excellent potential as a short-term or seasonal rental investment.
