Property Description
Located in the coveted "Filet" neighborhood of quaint Highlands, North Carolina, this thoughtfully designed mountain estate is perfectly sited to capture breathtaking views of Whiteside Mountain, Whiteside Cove, and the surrounding ranges. Built by a prominent family with a vision for authenticity and elegance, they tasked their acclaimed architect, Al Platt, with creating a genuine log cabin experience—complete with hand-hewn beams and traditional chinking walls. The main level features several inviting living areas, including a spacious great room, a cozy office, and a gourmet kitchen outfitted with rare wormy chestnut cabinetry. Step outside into the Carolina room, where an impressive stone fireplace anchors the perfect space for year-round entertaining. With six fireplaces throughout, this home offers cozy comfort on chilly mountain evenings, while expansive decks and outdoor living spaces provide a refreshing retreat during warmer summer days. The private primary suite is nestled on the upper level, offering serenity and privacy. Downstairs, the terrace level includes two additional bedrooms, a second great room, a kitchenette, and a laundry room. An exercise room with an indoor pool adds a luxurious touch—ideal for staying in shape between nature hikes. Above the garage, a bonus room awaits the kids or could serve as a hobby space or additional guest quarters. Sitting on over 50 acres, this property borders National Forest land and could potentially be considered for a conservation easement, making it not only a home but a legacy investment. Located just minutes from the heart of downtown Highlands, you'll have easy access to five-star restaurants, boutique shopping, art galleries, coffee shops, and a host of outdoor adventures—from hiking and swimming to canoeing. A variety of nearby country clubs offer additional opportunities for golf, tennis, and social gatherings. This one-of-a-kind estate cannot be replicated. May your family be the next to enjoy the legacy of this extraordinary mountain retreat for generations to come.
