Your Highlands Sanctuary – Steps from Main Street, Yet a World Away and with a new price!
$2,999,000. – Shown by appointment

Just a short walk from the heart of Main Street in Highlands, NC, this exceptional property feels worlds apart with its serene setting and breathtaking views. Nestled on a half-acre lot, the home offers a front-row seat to Harris Lake and overlooks Mill Creek, a charming pond, and a cascading waterfall—all framed by professionally landscaped gardens and a picturesque footbridge.

Inside, you’ll find over 2,600 sq. ft. on the main level plus an additional 800 sq. ft. on the lower level. Every detail reflects quality and craftsmanship, with more than 10,000 sq. ft. of antique heart pine throughout, complemented by custom brass, copper, and stained-glass accents.

Highlights include:
Three ensuite bedrooms, each with a jetted tub, mahogany vanity, marble countertops, and copper sinks
Powder room on the main level and there are two large bonus rooms and a full bath (shower) on the lower level
Spacious kitchen with granite counters, custom Kraftmaid cabinetry, copper sink, and abundant storage
Two gas fireplaces: both with custom-designed iron screens. The fireplace in the library/den has a hand-carved mantle featuring a relief of the property
Separate library/den with private lakeside entrance
Wraparound deck with sweeping views of Harris Lake, Satulah Mountain, and lush native landscaping
The lower-level features finished pine ceilings, a game room, storage areas, laundry, a mechanical room, and convenient access to the oversized two-car garage.

Additional features include:
Two gas-fired HVAC systems*
Whole-house generator
Small fenced-in area underneath deck for dog(s) with a storage building (with pet door).
City water, sewer, and twice-weekly trash pickup

This property is on 2.5 lots, totaling one-half acre, and is on a corner ’city’ lot. When you’re there, you’d swear the lot is much larger than it is, and to be IN town, it’s very private.

This home is not just a residence—it blends timeless craftsmanship with natural beauty in one of the most sought-after locations in Highlands.

For landscape lovers: there are Red Buckeye, Swamp Azalea, Goldenrod, Chinese Holly, Joe-Pye Weed, Chinese Silver Grass, Cinnamon Fern, Red Maple, Purple Aster, Japanese Pieris japonica, English Holly, Doghobble (Leucothoe), Kousa Dogwood, and more!
*Seller will credit buyer $10,000. credit towards HVAC upgrade/repair.
