The cabin embodies the authentic character of a traditional Appalachian home. An oversized two-car garage with substantial upper-level storage provides ample space for vehicles, ATVs, and recreational equipment to explore the property's trails and woodlands. Adjoining US Forest Service land enhances privacy and offers opportunities for deep-woods adventures. With six bedrooms between the two homes, there is abundant space for guests. The covered "Treehouse" pavilion, perched high on the property, provides yet another inviting setting to enjoy mountain breezes, seasonal foliage, and long-distance winter views. This secluded sanctuary is conveniently located near charming Highlands, NC, with its exceptional restaurants, boutique shopping, and cultural attractions, and is just a short drive from Franklin.

Rolling woodland, a private pond, natural clearings, and a trail that has already been opened across the larger portion of the acreage invite exploration while revealing the remarkable scale of the land. Several locations throughout the property offer the potential for additional homesites where selective tree limbing or clearing could further enhance the already impressive mountain vistas.

**Build-Ready Mountain Homesite Near Highlands, NC – No HOA Restrictions & Much of the Hard Work Is Already Done!** Why spend months clearing land, installing utilities, and preparing a homesite when so much of the work has already been completed? **Recently verified: this property is not located within the HOA and is not subject to HOA restrictions**, giving you greater flexibility to bring your mountain property vision to life. Located just inside the North Carolina state line from Georgia, this exceptional property offers a rare opportunity to begin building sooner while enjoying easy access to **Highlands, Cashiers, and Lake Glenville**—three of Western North Carolina's most sought-after destinations for outdoor recreation, fine dining, shopping, and mountain living. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the extensive site preparation that sets this property apart. A driveway has already been graded into the property with the first layer of gravel in place, providing easy access for construction and future use. The homesite itself has been professionally graded and prepared for a home with a **fully exposed walk-out basement and main-level living above**, allowing you to maximize both your home's design and the surrounding mountain setting. Even better, many of the time-consuming pre-construction steps have already been addressed. A survey has been completed, underground power has been installed to the property for convenient connection, and both a septic permit and well permit have been obtained. The property deed also provides the option of utilizing the community well if preferred, offering additional flexibility as you plan your build. A building permit had previously been pulled, giving the next owner a significant head start in the development process; buyers should verify the current status and requirements of all permits with the appropriate authorities. Another standout feature is the property's **road frontage on two sides**, offering convenient access and additional flexibility for driveway placement, home orientation, and future landscaping. Whether your vision includes expansive outdoor living spaces, a wraparound porch, or a home designed to capture the surrounding mountain beauty, this property provides an excellent foundation to bring those plans to life. The location is equally impressive. Just minutes from Highlands, you'll enjoy award-winning restaurants, boutique shopping, art galleries, live entertainment, and the timeless charm that has made the area one of the Southeast's premier mountain destinations. Nearby Cashiers offers its own unique small-town atmosphere, while Lake Glenville provides opportunities for boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, and lakeside relaxation. Outdoor enthusiasts will love being close to countless hiking trails, waterfalls, scenic overlooks, and national forest lands that make this region so desirable year-round.

Built in 1966 on the original caretaker's lot, this enchanting 3-bedroom, 1 bath hidden artist's haven is nestled in the peaceful Cold Springs community, just 4 miles from the charm of Main Street, Highlands and offers the perfect blend of inspiration and tranquility. 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 countertops, modern tile backsplash 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. And the hot water heater was just replaced to ensure comfort well into the future.

For those seeking privacy, acreage, and the freedom to create something truly personal in the mountains of Western North Carolina, this 30+/- unrestricted acre tract offers a rare and exciting opportunity. Offered as a portion of a 33.35+/- acre parcel, the property is privately tucked at the end of the road and bordered on two sides by USFS land, giving it a peaceful, protected feel while remaining approximately 15 minutes from Highlands and 30 minutes from Cashiers. The land unfolds with a private pond, native rhododendron, wooded trails, gentle natural beauty, and several potential homesites where long-range mountain views may be opened with thoughtful tree limbing or clearing. A trail has already been cleared so the property can be toured with ease, allowing you to walk the land, take in the setting, and visit the charming old one-room cabin built when the current owner was a child. The cabin is not livable and is conveyed at no value, but it adds a nostalgic sense of history and character to the property. With no HOA and no restrictions, the possibilities are unusually broad. Create a private mountain retreat designed around the views, develop multiple homesites, establish a quiet compound, enjoy the land for hunting or camping, explore timber or agricultural use, or hold it as a legacy property in a highly desirable mountain market. The combination of acreage, privacy, pond frontage, USFS adjacency, and potential view sites makes this offering especially compelling. Beyond the property, the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau offers a celebrated lifestyle shaped by cool mountain air, outdoor adventure, cultural events, boutique shopping, dining, music, and year-round community gatherings. Spend the day exploring nearby trails and waterfalls, then enjoy Highlands events such as Saturday Music on Pine, Bear Shadow Concerts, and Chamber activities, or Cashiers favorites like Groovin’ on the Green, the Plein Air Festival, and seasonal social events. This is more than land; it is a canvas for an elevated mountain life, with room to dream, build, gather, explore, and preserve.
