4435 Flat Mountain Rd, Highlands, NC 28741
End-of-road privacy, long-range mountain views, and 33.53+/- unrestricted acres create a rare Highlands-area offering with room to imagine. Surrounded on two sides by USFS land, this log cabin pairs a true mountain setting with convenient access to Highlands, Cashiers, hiking trails, waterfalls, and year-round events. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath home welcomes with warm wood interiors, soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and a large deck wrapping three sides, including a covered section with a swing for taking in the view. The main level offers two guest bedrooms, a shared bath, laundry, and an open kitchen/living area with stainless steel appliances and easy indoor-outdoor flow. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a brand-new shower, walk-in closet, attic storage access, and a loft office nook. The walkout basement offers unfinished space, a covered patio, and a workshop with barn-style exterior doors. A private pond, ample parking, a cleared trail on the portion of the property across Flat Mountain Rd, and multiple potential view homesites add flexibility. Opportunities with this acreage, privacy, and proximity to Highlands are limited; schedule your showing before it is gone.
