Imagine a life where each morning begins with a short walk from your front gate across the street to the trail leading directly into the heart of Highlands. Here, daily life balances effortless access to vibrant mountain living with the calm privacy of a wooded sanctuary. Set on four remarkable acres just moments from town, this estate is more than a beautiful home—it is part of Highlands’ enduring story. The property traces its origins to the early influence of the Ravenel family of Charleston, whose extensive landholdings helped shape the Plateau. Today, these acres carry forward that legacy, offering a rare sense of continuity and place. What makes this offering especially rare is the land itself. Unlike many in-town properties, these four acres are largely usable—opening the door to a more intentional way of living. Whether envisioned as a gentleman’s farm, greenhouse, or thoughtfully designed family compound, the property lends itself naturally to a more sustainable lifestyle—all just minutes from Main Street. Built circa 1922 by the Evins family and thoughtfully restored by builder John Underwood with design by architect Sam Edgens, the home honors its history while living comfortably for today. A gated entrance and laurel-lined drive lead to an elegant three-story mountain colonial of approximately 6,500 square feet. Inside, original oak and antique chestnut floors harvested from the land, stone fireplaces, handcrafted millwork, & more than 60 windows create warmth and scale. In-floor hydronic heating on the first and second levels ensures year-round comfort. The chef’s kitchen, with its own fireplace, invites both casual mornings and refined entertaining, while spa-inspired baths and flexible third-floor spaces support everyday living and hosting alike. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with stone patios, a Rumford-style fireplace, heated pool, and spa surrounded by mature plantings. The home sits on the continental divide so rain from the front flows towards the west and rain from the back of the home flows east. An activity barn, trails, and expansive lawns offer space for recreation and reflection, while a guest cottage & additional accommodations above the garage support a multi-generational retreat. Just beyond, the Rhododendron Trail connects to Ravenel Lake, Sunset Rock, & downtown Highlands. This is a legacy property, private, connected, and increasingly rare. Seller will pay for a Caretaker & Concierge for 2 years from closing.

Tucked into 3.09 private, unrestricted acres with no HOA, this fully reimagined mountain retreat pairs warm, custom craftsmanship with the kind of usable, gently terraced land that's genuinely rare on the plateau. A series of flat, landscaped tiers step down from the home toward a stone fire pit patio, giving you real outdoor living space to match the views — including a 180-degree mountain vista in the winter months. Inside, tobacco weathered acacia wood flooring runs throughout, setting a warm tone for every space. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, with custom wood cabinetry, high-end appliances, a breakfast bar, and French doors that open straight onto the deck — with a cozy coffee nook tucked just off to the side. A wood-beamed living room centers on a stacked-stone fireplace, and the adjoining dining room is finished with wainscoting. All three bedrooms are ensuite with king beds. The primary suite is a retreat of its own: a private office with French doors opening to the deck and mountain views, a spa-caliber bathroom with a custom stone-wall walk-in shower, and a built-in sauna that seats four. Heated slate floors run through all three bathrooms. A well-appointed laundry room adds a stackable washer/dryer, a sink, and a custom built-in dog bed. Outside, the home offers an oversized two-car garage/outbuilding with untapped potential, a circular driveway, a single-car carport, and dedicated RV parking — all connected by a gravel drive that winds past the terraced, landscaped grounds. It's a rare combination of privacy and usable land in the Highlands market, with views of Yellow Mountain from the property. In the last two years, the sellers have replaced the septic system, furnace, and water heater, rewired and re-plumbed the entire home, rebuilt the deck, and added additional insulation for year-round efficiency — the next owner inherits not just beautiful finishes, but a home that's been renewed from the ground up. Just 5 minutes to the Yellow Mountain trailhead, 15 minutes to downtown Highlands, 25 minutes to Cashiers, and 30 minutes to Franklin — private, move-in ready, and perfectly positioned to enjoy everything the Plateau has to offer.
