Property Description
Designed for easy mountain living, this single-level home features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area centered around a cozy fireplace. Just beyond, a covered back porch opens to the peaceful, wooded setting — perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation.
The home includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a versatile bonus room. The gentle, nearly level yard at approximately 3,900 feet in elevation offers exceptional usability — rare for a Highlands-area property.
Updates include a new HVAC system, encapsulated basement, fresh exterior paint, and a roof replacement in 2022. A large circular driveway provides ample parking and easy access.
With no HOA and no deed restrictions, this property offers flexibility for personal use, a second home, or a short-term rental investment. Enjoy close proximity to hiking, waterfalls, and outdoor recreation, as well as Highlands' renowned dining, boutique shopping, and arts scene.
A true mountain retreat — comfortable and ready to enjoy from day one, with the chance to personalize over time.
