Property Description

This Highlands mountain home has an unexpectedly lovely feel. The grounds are planted for butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, with a natural, native gardening approach. In spring and summer, when everything is in bloom, the property feels like a private botanical garden, colorful, alive, and whimsical. Covered and open-air spaces, plus a fire pit, invite you to enjoy the gardens and mountain setting year-round. Inside, this distinctive one-and-a-half-story chink-style log cabin is filled with warmth, craftsmanship, and storybook charm. Key amenities include a stone fireplace, exposed timber beams, pine hardwood floors, shiplap walls, and a striking mountain laurel-style staircase leading to an open loft. The kitchen offers butcher block countertops, white cabinetry, a gas range, and a walk-in pantry. Two bedrooms are on the main level, with a third upstairs featuring vaulted ceilings, skylights, and stained glass. A flexible loft adds versatility. A beautiful primary suite addition offers soaring ceilings, abundant windows, natural light, and a spa-inspired bath. A separate outbuilding, freshly stained exterior, whole-house generator, and crawlspace encapsulation are recent upgrades that add value and peace of mind. This Highlands property has a personality all its own, a mountain home surrounded by a garden meant to be experienced, not perfected, where rustic character, natural beauty, and thoughtful details come together in a way that feels both timeless and unique. Short-term rentals are allowed.
