551 Bob Long Mountain Rd, Scaly Mountain

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.

Welcome to Alinear, a modern dream home. This home has everything you need and nothing you don't. The owners designed this spacious open home with a purposefully small footprint. Showcasing the mountain view with myriad windows, the design relies on intersecting "A" frame roof lines, taking inspiration from architects Massimo Gnocchi and Paolo Danesi's Mountain Refuge Home. The design goal was a mix of an Alpine refuge with a Scandinavian interior, thus the birch walls and minimalist furnishings. Simple and beautiful. Enjoy fabulous views of Bartram Ridge rockface and Tessentee Valley. Walk out the door for hikes, or take a quick drive in your fully charged EV to zip lines, tubing, roller coaster rides, golf, or into town. Furnished with exceptions of artwork, books, and personal items.
