Written By: Wiley Sloan | Issue: 2018/07 - July

Enjoy mountain living at its finest in your beautiful lodge-style home overlooking Highlands and the surrounding mountains from its perch near the top of Satulah Mountain.  

From Highlands’ earliest days some of the area’s most renowned citizens have built their homesteads here. Built of sturdy Montana logs with heart pine and slate floors, this home is built for carefree living.  Throughout the spacious light-filled interior your family and friends will relax and rejuvenate.  The heart of the main floor is the spacious Kitchen with its large central island and premier appliances. Choose from multiple dining venues on either side of the Kitchen or grab your plate and head out to the large wrap-around balcony to dine alfresco. The Great Room’s majestic stone fireplace reaches heavenward through the cathedral ceiling.  Multiple seating areas and a game table provide conversation groupings for every age group.  Whether hosting an intimate evening or a multitude of friends, this home is comfortable and inviting.

The large Owner’s Suite offers an office filled with light.  Don’t let the tranquil views distract you from your appointed tasks. A gas fireplace warms the spacious Bedroom on those chilly mountain days.  His and her vanities and closets surround the soaking tub and large shower with its custom Italian tile in a Bathroom designed to please.  The suite’s private balcony is perfect for morning coffee, afternoon cocktails, or star-gazing.  

Upstairs is a Library and an Office Nook with fireplace.  Pen a short story, or paint notecards, or brush up on your foreign language skills.  It’s your space to enjoy.  The Half-Bath means that you won’t need to disturb folks napping in the fabulous Guest Suite. More spectacular views abound from every perspective at this level.

The home’s lower level includes two large Guest Suites which include comfortable seating and spacious baths.  One suite includes a mini-fridge and a place for a coffee bar.  Several rooms on this level are just waiting for your creative touch.  Make one a Craft Room, another a Studio or Game Room.  How about a Woodworking Shop?   Multiple closets and storage areas dot the hall that leads to the large Double Garage.  Add a Kitchen and you have private spaces for your in-laws or a nanny.  

A variety of native plants surround this magnificent home.  Rhododendron and mountain laurel are interspersed between large boulders and dwarf evergreens, oh-so-pleasing to the eye.  In late summer the Dahlia Garden is replete with flowers of varying hues.  Head up the gated drive as you amble the short distance to downtown Highlands with its bevy of boutiques, tantalizing restaurants, and galleries.  Expand your enclave by adding the adjoining 1.83-acre lot that’s offered separately.  Quality construction, panoramic views, private yet close to all that Highlands has to offer.
