Land with Home for Sale in Highlands, North Carolina

Beyond its private gates and winding drive, this Highlands estate is designed to be experienced. Set in the Blue Ridge Mountains just a couple of miles from Main Street, it offers a rare balance, close to the energy of town, yet wonderfully private. The grounds feel like a personal retreat, with stone paths, laurel bridges, and three cascading waterfalls creating a peaceful backdrop for slow mornings and relaxed evenings. The approximately 6,000-square-foot residence reflects a European mountain style, with soaring beamed ceilings, open gathering spaces, three wood-burning stone fireplaces, pine floors, and abundant natural light throughout. With five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, each bedroom is thoughtfully positioned for privacy, while the lower level serves as a private-entry suite ideal for guests or extended living. The oversized eat-in kitchen anchors the home, and the primary suite offers its own sense of retreat with an office and spacious bath. A separate guest house includes a full one-bedroom suite with kitchen and living area, perfect for visitors or added income. This property has a strong history as a successful short-term rental, offering immediate investment potential. Offered fully furnished and equipped with a generator, it is ready for effortless enjoyment from day one, whether as a private escape, a gathering place, or an income-producing mountain property just minutes from downtown Highlands.
