Large home with Mountain Views & 20 min from town

Highlands, North Carolina, United States

Easy 20 minute drive to the wonderful resort towns of Cashiers (to the east) or Highlands (to the west), but still a deep woods location at the end of a road with fantastic views of the mountains across the valley. Very private and rustic with only one neighbor in sight. Our backyard borders the Nantahala National Forest, and a 20-minute path leads to the Chattooga River and Chattooga River Trail with beautiful river access, picnic areas, swimming holes and endless hiking. This area is rated 'wild and scenic' by the forest service - a rare honor!brbrKids love this place as we have built a special 'kids cave' inside - cozy and kid-size to get away from the adults - they have their own secret spot! Outside are play areas, swings, fort and hammock - and of course most important of all - the woods! Trails run through the woods, and the day will fly by while they explore. All the outside features are close enough so parents can enjoy their time on the upstairs screened porch and still keep an eye on the children.brbrBuilt in 2003, this passive-solar design brings the sun in during winter, so is naturally warm then, but shades the windows with overhangs and tree cover in summer so we stay cool! It also includes air conditioning and ceiling fans, a toasty see-thru gas fireplace on the main floor, and electric heat in each bedroom.brbrThe open floor plan designed especially for family reunions. We have four full bathrooms, seven bedrooms (two with king size beds, four with queen size, and one with two twins), plus large loft (with two trundle beds) . . . this place can hold a LOT of people! Other rooms include family room, dining room, breakfast nook, and screened, covered patio and exterior deck with charcoal grill. Six BRs share adjoining baths. The mail-level BR has a queen and is designed for limited mobility persons with a bath nearby and low-threshold shower stall.brbrFor mealtime, there is a 12-14 person dining room table, plus large circular table for 4 - 6, plus seating for 6 at the kitchen bar-top.brbrIncludes large center-island kitchen with gas range, microwave, blender, and two coffee makers (including Keurig). Also a large laundry room with washer and dryer.brbrOur Dad built this for our own family and go there often when its not rented. It is stocked with many books & games (and usually staples and condiments in the pantry). Also have a smart TV with satellite cable and WiFi.

The Highlands Buck House, Newly Renovated Gorgeous In Town w/ Private Pond

Highlands, North Carolina, United States

Welcome to The Highlands Buck House. We have gone to great lengths to ensure an unforgettable stay. We have been vacationing in Highlands for years and finally decided to get our own place with comfortable beds and modern decor! Our home was extensively renovated in 2018 with the help of a nationally known interior designer. The home has 3 bedrooms and 4 full baths. There are 3 living areas as well as a daybed loft. brbrWe are located in the upscale Bowery Road neighborhood which is one of Highlands best kept secrets, just past the Mountain Fresh grocery (less than 2 miles). The neighborhood has a land trust with an extensive trail system with several gorgeous ponds. One of the trail-heads is just behind our property. Even better, the neighborhood is on level ground and accessible year round.brbrOur home sits on two nearly flat acres of hardwoods and hemlocks. We have a gorgeous fire-pit patio with ample Adirondack seating, a picnic table in the woods, and beautiful paths throughout the property. At the very back of our property, deep in the woods, sits a marvelous pond with inviting bridges and a bench nearby to sit and enjoy the scenery. The landscaping is lush and the setting is extremely quiet and private. brbrThe home has three bedrooms and four full bathrooms. On the main level is the Master complete with a custom walnut 4 post King bed (literally made for a King or Queen!) and a flat screen television. There is also a beautiful private full bath finished in silver travertine. The more than one million year old petrified sink will surely be a conversation piece. There is plenty of closet space in the Master and throughout the home. There is an additional full bath on the main level accessible from the living space. Upstairs there are two additional bedrooms. The Queen room has a beautiful reclaimed queen sized bed and a full bathroom with a large shower. The other bedroom contains a bunk bed complete with ship lights and an adorable cubby! The lower bunk is a full sized bed while the upper one is a twin. There is also a pack n' play in the closet if needed. The bunk room also has a private full bath complete with a custom stone wall in the shower. Between the two upstairs bedrooms is a loft space open to the living room. In the loft space there is a day bed with a comfortable twin mattress and a twin trundle underneath. There is also a desk in case you need to work or just write down your thoughts as you unwind in heaven on earth! All of the beds are high quality. The linens are extraordinary.brbrThe living space is extensive. There are essentially three living areas. The primary living room has a gas fireplace and a 65 flat screen tv with Netflix streaming. Then there is a connected Den. This room is more of a reading room, but also incredibly comfortable and inviting. There are plenty of movies and books to chose from while you relax and take in the view through the wall of windows. Finally, there is an equally wonderful screened porch with ample seating and plenty of light. This room brings the outside in and connects the main home to the deck where you'll find a stainless steel gas grill, another patio table, and plenty of seating for an outdoor gathering.brbrThe kitchen is large and contains essentially anything and everything to prepare meals during your stay. All of the cookware is high quality and there is a large pantry to store any food. There is also a large laundry room in the rear of the home featuring a brand new high quality washer and dryer, along with an iron and ironing board. The house is stocked with toiletries, paper products, detergent, spices, coffee and tea and more. brbrThe front porch is large and has several places to sit and take in the beauty of the landscape, including a cozy porch swing. There is ample parking on the driveway (please note that we do not include the garage in the rental. The front yard is flat and has a round driveway perfect for kids with bicycles, scooters and skateboards. The house is easily accessible in the snow as the roads and driveway are all flat.brbrThe Highlands Buck House is loaded with character. All of the art is custom and unique. The floors, furniture and accents have been selected with an eye toward the indigenous Highlands reclaimed look. In a nutshell the home is absolutely perfect. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.brbrPlease note that we do have a strict no pets policy and that the maximum number of guests including children is 8. During Thanksgiving and Christmas we require one week rentals. Also, as noted elsewhere in the listing... we do not have live TV. We provide Netflix streaming and both TVs have numerous other apps that you can log into for streaming. Please do not hesitate to email us with any questions at all.
