A complete top-to-bottom remodel elevated this mountain modern showpiece into one of Highlands Falls' most compelling offerings — positioned directly on the 18th fairway with sweeping views of the surrounding ponds. The architecture is clean and confident, the finishes are current, and the setting is simply fantastic. The great room is the heart of the home — a generous, light-filled space where the kitchen flows seamlessly through the dining area and out through nano doors onto a large covered and screened deck. Stone fireplace, fairway views, open sky: the upper deck delivers the full Highlands experience in every season. A second private deck off the lower-level living area offers a quieter retreat, ideal for intimate gatherings away from the main entertaining spaces. Five bedrooms and five bathrooms are distributed across a thoughtfully designed floor plan with room to host and room to breathe. Arrival is an event in itself — a circular driveway sweeps through a large porte-cochere, with a two-car garage and dedicated golf cart garage completing the motor court. Parking is plentiful; the transition from car to front door is effortless. The beautifully landscaped 1.13-acre lot is planted with flowering shrubs of multiple varieties, delivering color and texture across the seasons. Highlands Falls Country Club membership is available — and for those who choose it, the club has undergone a remarkable revitalization, emerging as a vibrant, amenity-rich destination that is very much at the center of the community.

Highlands has its share of log cabins, but only a small fraction of those sit in town. 472 Chestnut Street is one. Built well before the 1960s by one of the region's most celebrated cabin builders, the home has been lived in, looked after, and now thoughtfully brought forward without losing what made it remarkable in the first place. The logs have been refreshed and have been made quietly, in service of the original. Inside, the renovation reads through materials rather than gestures. The kitchen is anchored by reclaimed barnwood and an imported Italian 6-burner stove, with a custom built-in refrigerator, deep pantry storage, and finishes chosen to age well. The main ensuite is layered — limestone accent walls, black granite, unlacquered brass fittings, an oversized soaking tub, and a tiled shower featuring hand-made Moroccan tile with a locally crafted trout inlay. Two additional ensuite bedrooms upstairs carry the same considered hand, with imported tile and limestone floors. Throughout the main cabin: hand-hewn beams overhead, tongue-and-groove ceilings, original wide-board white oak floors that have earned their patina, and a hand-laid stone fireplace at the heart of the great room. A covered breezeway leads to a separate guest house with a main-floor living area and an upper bunk room — both finished in the same spirit. In total, the property offers four bedrooms and five baths across both structures. Out back, a firepit sits in a curated garden setting, with Satulah Mountain framed beyond. The practical layer holds up: metal roof, public water and sewer, fiber optic available, and a 0.43-acre level-to-rolling city lot. 472 Chestnut Street is a rare opportunity to own a cabin in one of the most prized in-town settings on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau.

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.

Rolling topography with up to four house sites. Potential short- and long-range views. Privacy. Easy building sites. Charming possibilities abound. As an estate lot or small, prestigious development, this property will entice the most distinguished and discerning buyers. The new owner of this property will possess a part of Highlands history. On one corner of the property sits an old well house, one of only a few still remaining in Highlands. An old house from the 1920s sat on the pasture area but had to be dismantled because sadly, it was not in salvageable condition. Plans and pictures are available, however, if someone wants to recreate and enhance this part of history. The new owner also has exciting possibilities. As indicated, the parcel can be divided into four estate-sized lots, but an owner may want to consider other options. A preliminary rendering of how the parcel can be utilized is available. Perhaps, after validating with the necessary financial and Land Trust officials, the owner could utilize one or two spots for new homes and take advantage of tax benefits by retaining the remainder as a quiet, beautiful community area that will then be forever preserved for the enjoyment of future generations of families who appreciate and value the distinct benefits of Highlands. Regardless how a buyer may choose to proceed, the options are mesmerizing.Please check with the listing agents for other ideas about maximizing this beautiful place.
