This enchanting 3-bedroom, 1 bath hidden artist's haven was known as the "caretakers lot" of the original Cold Springs development and is just 4 miles from the charm of Main Street, Highlands. Step inside to find refinished, narrow-planked hardwood floors that glow with warmth, setting the tone for a home that invites creativity, reflection, and escape. You will find a beautifully renovated kitchen with granite counter tops, modern tile back splash and new cabinets. In 2020, all the kitchen appliances were replaced with stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave, and electric stove and there's a washer and dryer in a separate laundry/storage room. In 2002, lifetime vinyl windows were installed, inviting the mountain light to pour in while keeping the elements at bay. And a full bathroom remodel was done in 2020 with a granite countertop sink, vanity, shower/bath with frameless glass sliding doors, and tile flooring. The two car garage is spacious and is wired for 220 voltage, enough power for an artist's studio or workshop. Enhancing the feel of quiet enchantment are the tall rhododendrons that offer seclusion and privacy, and a pollinating garden landscaped along the fence that frames the yard. Whether you're sipping coffee as the morning mist rises or watching horses run in the fenced pasture across the way, this sanctuary is ideal for painters, writers, and dreamers alike. Recently installed fiber optic internet, and a Generac generator ready for any season, this mountain retreat offers both serenity and reliability. The home is in a desired area of Highlands and is ideal as a vacation rental, investment opportunity, or first home. It is nestled behind a lush wall of Rhododendron making for private, peaceful sanctuary and the level, circular driveway makes for easy access, year-round. Over the years, this home has been well-maintained. The well pump was replaced in 2005 on the shared well, as well as the LP gas furnace in 2009, ensuring warmth through crisp mountain winters. The home's solid metal roof was installed, and the interior was painted in 2014. The exterior was painted along with the installation of oversized gutters and guards to protect the home through all seasons in 2018. There are no restrictions on short-term rentals so this cozy country cottage would be a great deal for an investor.

Remarkable multi-dwelling homestead w/multiple outbuildings on 60 pristine acres with LONG RANGE MOUNTAIN views from the "Balcony of Heaven (see the VIDEO!) And backed up to USFS lands! Privacy Abounds! NO Expense was spared to make this beautiful Home & Cabin safe, secure & private with seemingly endless amenities. The Main Home 3br/3.5 bath is built very strong, energy efficient, and easy to maintain. A new roof was recently installed in 8/2024. The double car garage entrance has a single extra wide 17' heavily insulated door with remote opener. Floor trusses were used to eliminate the need for metal support posts in the basement/garage. The porch above the garage/basement entrance uses a full length steel "I" beam. This eliminated the need for vertical support posts which would obstruct the garage entrance. The exterior walls are of 2x6 construction and are fully insulated. The garage has 18 electrical outlets including a special freezer outlet, without a ground fault circuit, to prevent inadvertent power loss to the freezer. Pre-emptive RADON SYSTEM installed under the full basement floor, PVC piping to capture any possible radon gas and vent it directly outside. A small suction fan pulls a slight vacuum under the slab to capture and remove any radon gas occurrence! The house has a specifically ordered Square D brand 200 amp electrical box with added lightning protection. There are DUAL ZONE separate up and downstairs heat and AC units. Both have plenty of capacity to provide comfort regardless of outside temperatures. Propane is supplied by an owned 1000 gallon underground propane tank (up to a 2 year supply) The spring above the main house has a 1200 gallon tank and supplies gravity feed water of approximately 70psi. Valves allow for water to be used from one or both of the springs. Water is filtered and runs through a ultra-violet purification system. No chlorine, no chemical taste just pure mountain spring water. As part of the water system there are seven water hydrants (freeze resistant faucets) conveniently located about the property. A comprehensive, hard wired security system is installed, it's extremely reliable and monitored by a central security station. The area now also has an Ubiquiti 24/7 video surveillance system with AI. Starlink provides, internet, television and telephone communication. On the property is a three sided metal building with water and power that houses a travel trailer. There is an additional two bedroom one bath CABIN/COTTAGE that has been well maintained and has a new central heat and air conditioning system. It has satellite internet, TV and WIFI telephone. And an auxiliary gas wall heater with an owned 500 gallon propane tank ensures you are TEMPERATELY GOOD in any weather event. AMAZING LONG RANGE MTN VIEWS! The second spring near the cabin has a spring tank and pump. This spring is operational but not used because the gravity spring above the main house supplies an abundance of water. The cabin spring water is filtered, and purity is assured by the installation of a ultra-violet purification system. No chemical taste just pure mountain water. Beyond the cabin/cottage is a lane that leads up to an enclosed storage building with a garage door and two additional covered bays for vehicles, implements etc. Between the main home & cabin is a large POWERED outbuilding garage/workshop. It is built out of concrete block. The exterior is covered with foam insulating board and vinyl siding. It is a secure building with insulated attic storage, electricity, alarm system, commercial steel doors and an insulated double car overhead garage door. It also contains an office.

Nestled in a quiet cove with breathtaking pastoral views, you'll find this charming farmhouse with an inviting rocking chair front porch beautifully situated under gorgeous shade trees. The owners have lovingly cared for this property for many years, and it shows. It's been said that age is just a number, and this is evident when you walk through the doors of this quaint home. The current owners did extensive work to the home when it was purchased in 1992 including the addition of the front porch, refurbishing the kitchen, and work to the flooring base. In 1994, the screened gazebo was added, and a metal roof was installed in 2016. You'll be tempted to wile away the hours on the porch or inside the screened gazebo, but with two ponds on the property, this land is also ripe for farm or pasture use. Inside the house, a wood burning fireplace will warm you when the temperatures start to fall. The ambiance of this home will transport you to simpler times but with modern-day conveniences (the refrigerator, washer, and water heater are new). The seller has updated the electrical system, and there is a brand new 3 bedroom septic system that has just been installed. Above the house is a 30 x 40 powered workshop/garage which offers unlimited options for use.....and it's being completely refurbished! A recent fire affected the interior; ServPro is doing a remediation and renovation, so the inside will all be brand new. The property comes alive in spring and summer with hydrangeas, dahlias, dogwood trees, Rose of Sharon, and a magnolia. The splendor of fall is evident in the October Glory maple which shows off once the cool weather comes and leaves start their transition to autumn. Need to work from home? Fiber optic is available through Frontier. There is a graded house site for anyone looking to build something new and other potential house sites if a family compound sounds attractive. This listing includes two parcels: 6577904393 house and 3.95 acres; 6577908261 8.74 acres. To protect the integrity of the property, the deed at closing will include these restrictions: "1. No untagged vehicles; 2. No commercial activity; 3. No livestock except horses, cows, and chickens." Properties like this don't come along every day.....take a look for yourself! You may just find home!

Tucked into 3.09 private, unrestricted acres with no HOA, this fully reimagined mountain retreat pairs warm, custom craftsmanship with the kind of usable, gently terraced land that's genuinely rare on the plateau. A series of flat, landscaped tiers step down from the home toward a stone fire pit patio, giving you real outdoor living space to match the views — including a 180-degree mountain vista in the winter months. Inside, tobacco weathered acacia wood flooring runs throughout, setting a warm tone for every space. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, with custom wood cabinetry, high-end appliances, a breakfast bar, and French doors that open straight onto the deck — with a cozy coffee nook tucked just off to the side. A wood-beamed living room centers on a stacked-stone fireplace, and the adjoining dining room is finished with wainscoting. All three bedrooms are ensuite with king beds. The primary suite is a retreat of its own: a private office with French doors opening to the deck and mountain views, a spa-caliber bathroom with a custom stone-wall walk-in shower, and a built-in sauna that seats four. Heated slate floors run through all three bathrooms. A well-appointed laundry room adds a stackable washer/dryer, a sink, and a custom built-in dog bed. Outside, the home offers an oversized two-car garage/outbuilding with untapped potential, a circular driveway, a single-car carport, and dedicated RV parking — all connected by a gravel drive that winds past the terraced, landscaped grounds. It's a rare combination of privacy and usable land in the Highlands market, with views of Yellow Mountain from the property. In the last two years, the sellers have replaced the septic system, furnace, and water heater, rewired and re-plumbed the entire home, rebuilt the deck, and added additional insulation for year-round efficiency — the next owner inherits not just beautiful finishes, but a home that's been renewed from the ground up. Just 5 minutes to the Yellow Mountain trailhead, 15 minutes to downtown Highlands, 25 minutes to Cashiers, and 30 minutes to Franklin — private, move-in ready, and perfectly positioned to enjoy everything the Plateau has to offer.

16A Willow View  Drive, Franklin
$293,000
2 Beds ⋅ 2 Baths ⋅ 4409385 MLS
There is a particular kind of freedom in a home that asks nothing of you. 16A Willow View Drive, thoughtfully designed as one half of a two-unit building, sits inside a gated community just minutes to downtown Franklin. Positioned beautifully at the end of the road for maximum privacy, everything about this home is built for the part of life where the mountains are enjoyed rather than maintained. One story, no stairs anywhere, and a whole community to enjoy the outdoors. The kitchen opens to the living space, laundry is on the main level, and the attached garage lets you come in without ever standing in the rain. The living room runs the length of the home and opens to a screened porch facing the ridges. In winter, the mountains show through clearly. In summer, the porch stays shaded and cool, becoming the place for morning coffee and evening slowdowns. The split bedroom plan gives the primary suite its own side of the house with a walk-in closet, which matters when your favorite guests show up. What sets this one apart is what you will never have to do. You'll start with newly installed flooring and a fresh coat of interior paint throughout. In the past two years, the roof and the HVAC system have been replaced, and the parking area has been recently resurfaced. The POA maintains the lawn, grounds, home exterior, and ongoing parking area maintenance. Community water and public sewer mean no well and no septic. You can lock the door in October, spend two months elsewhere, and come back to a place that looks exactly the way you left it. The clubhouse and walking trails are there when you want them. For those who love to hit the links, you are also incredibly close to the Mill Creek Golf Course. Designed by renowned architect Bruce Devlin, this 18-hole, regulation-style resort course perfectly showcases the scenic mountain surroundings while offering a rewarding challenge for players of all skill levels. Beyond the greens, Franklin is 10 minutes away for groceries, the hospital, and the gem mines. The Nantahala, the Appalachian Trail at Standing Indian, and the whole western half of the Smokies open up from here. This is the mountain townhome for the people who came for the mountains, not for the yard work.
