Welcome to 72 Moonlight Lane, a rare mountain sanctuary where architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony. Set amid a breathtaking landscape that has been thoughtfully cultivated and refined over the past two decades by renowned local landscape architect Jimmy Tate, this remarkable property offers an experience that is as enchanting as it is unforgettable. From the moment you arrive, the grounds reveal themselves as a living work of art. Meandering pathways wind through mature native trees, vibrant gardens, and meticulously designed outdoor spaces. A tranquil creek courses through the property, feeding serene water features and a picturesque pond that reflects the surrounding mountain beauty. Every element has been intentionally crafted to create a sense of peace, privacy, and connection to the natural environment, making the grounds as extraordinary as the residence itself. Perhaps the most magical feature of the estate is its professionally constructed luxury treehouse-a destination unto itself and arguably the finest vantage point on the property. Elevated among the trees, this extraordinary retreat offers sweeping views of the landscape below while providing every modern comfort. Complete with a fireplace, wet bar, bathroom, dining area, and comfortable lounge space, it is the ultimate setting for entertaining guests, enjoying sunset cocktails, or simply escaping into the serenity of the mountains. The main residence is equally captivating, blending timeless mountain character with inviting living spaces designed for gathering and relaxation. Warm interiors, generous living areas, and thoughtful architectural details create an atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming. The undeniable centerpiece of the home is the spectacular porch room-a grand indoor-outdoor living space that delivers the "wow factor." Surrounded by the beauty of the landscape and filled with natural light, this stunning room serves as the heart of the home, offering the perfect place to entertain, dine, or simply take in the sights and sounds of the creek, pond, and gardens. 72 Moonlight Lane is more than a home-it is a private mountain retreat, a garden estate, and a legacy property where years of thoughtful stewardship have created an environment unlike any other. Combining exceptional craftsmanship, unforgettable outdoor living, and one of the most captivating landscapes in Highlands, this is a place where memories are made and nature is celebrated every day.
