Description

Your turnkey Highlands mountain getaway awaits! Just minutes from downtown Highlands, this extensively renovated three-bedroom, two-bath cottage pairs spectacular views of Satulah Mountain with inviting interiors and thoughtful updates throughout. With short- and long-term rentals permitted, it offers flexibility as a personal retreat, rental property, or both. Enter on the upper level, where a spacious living area opens to a beautifully expanded kitchen with a large island, marble tile countertops and backsplash, and all-new appliances. Enlarged windows bring in abundant natural light and frame the mountain setting, while Craftsman-style trim and German-manufactured laminate flooring add warmth and character. Two guest bedrooms and a renovated bathroom complete this level. Downstairs, a second living area provides room to relax, and a spacious primary suite features a renovated private bath. Laundry facilities are also located on the lower level. Enjoy the mountain views from the spacious deck or settle into the cozy front porch. Extensive clearing has opened the grounds and revealed the striking Satulah Mountain backdrop, while an approximately quarter-mile private driveway creates a peaceful approach. A comprehensive 2023–2024 renovation transformed the home's layout, kitchen, bathrooms, windows, flooring, walls, ceilings, and decks. Additional improvements in 2026 include a new metal roof, upstairs and downstairs mini-split heating and cooling systems, water heater, well pressure tank, kitchen appliances, washer and dryer, and fresh interior and exterior paint. All-new furnishings, also added in 2026, are included, making it easy to arrive, unpack, and begin enjoying life in the mountains.
