Above $1 Million Highlands NC Real Estate, Homes, Condos for Sale

Some homes are built for a lifetime. The rarest are built for generations. Perched atop prestigious Hardscrabble Ridge, this extraordinary home captures breathtaking vistas of iconic Whiteside Mountain and the Cashiers Valley while embodying the timeless character of the great American mountain lodge. From the moment you arrive beneath the massive timber porte cochère, it is clear this is a home designed not simply to impress, but to welcome generations of family and friends. Towering hand-peeled logs, native stone, and walls of glass create interiors that are both grand in scale and remarkably inviting. The soaring great room is anchored by a magnificent floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace and framed by unforgettable mountain views. Beneath it rests a remarkable handwoven rug from the Vatican, a distinctive detail that reflects the home's appreciation for enduring craftsmanship. The kitchen, dining area, and covered porches flow effortlessly together, creating spaces where mornings begin over coffee, afternoons stretch longer than planned, and evenings are spent gathered around the table or beside the fire beneath a canopy of stars. The main-level owner's suite offers exceptional privacy with its own fireplace, spacious bath, dual dressing rooms, and private balcony overlooking the mountains. Upstairs, a welcoming loft provides the perfect gathering place for children and grandchildren, while three generous guest suites, each opening to a private balcony, ensure family and guests enjoy comfort and privacy. One suite features two queen beds and an expansive sitting area, making it ideal for extended family. The unfinished lower level is unlike anything typically found in a mountain home. With soaring ceilings approaching twenty feet, walls of windows, direct access to a tranquil koi pond, and an existing wine cellar, it offers extraordinary flexibility. Whether envisioned as additional guest suites, a home theater, recreation room, fitness studio, or simply left as the ultimate indoor play space for children and grandchildren, it is ready to evolve with the next owner's dreams. Rarely does a home combine authentic lodge architecture, extraordinary craftsmanship, iconic mountain views, and the warmth of a true family retreat so beautifully. Located just minutes from downtown Highlands, this is far more than a luxury residence. It is a legacy property where traditions begin, memories endure, and every season offers another reason to return.

LOCATION! This Highlands landmark is one of the last great, walk-to-town parcels. Zoned B-4 (light commercial) and sits on .92 acre. Renovate or start over- anything can be duplicated- EXCEPT the location. The first time on the market and being offered AS-IS. The main level has wood floors and is paneled with clear Chestnut as the home was built just as the Chestnut blight came through town. The main level has a small kitchenette, storage, full bath and 4 rooms (The former living area is partitioned to allow for the reception area.) The attic is floored in, runs the entire length of the house and has great storage. This is a property full of memories for many local people. In the 1920s, this property was a 9-hole golf course as part of the Hall House property. Built in 1931 with chestnut paneling on the main level, this property has been a personal residence, home occupation, B&B, and is now zoned B-4. This property has been in the same family since the town was incorporated, and once took up the whole block. This is the only parcel left and contains .92 ac+/-. The home of Margaret and Tudor Hall and their extended family lived here from 1931 until the early 1990s when The Chambers Agency moved their real estate and vacation rentals office. Tudor and Margaret had a real estate office in town and were charter members of the Highlands Board of Realtors in 1956. In the mid-1990s, the garage was renovated into a one-bedroom/one-bath apartment and has been partially renovated. Prior to 1992, Mrs. Hall ran a boutique B&B, The Hall House, and the rooms upstairs that had been her children's bedrooms became weekend spots for tourists, and later became real estate offices for The Chambers Agency. In 2013, the four upper-level rooms were converted into two one-bedroom/one-bath apartments for workforce housing.
