Situated on just over 10 private acres and only minutes from downtown, this timeless 1936 farmhouse has been thoughtfully expanded and renovated to blend modern convenience with the nostalgic charm of old Highlands. Surrounded by native trees, lush landscaping and meandering trails, the property sits at 3795' elevation and also features a flowing creek and an open meadow with a charming party barn.
The home welcomes you with a spacious open deck and a cozy screened-in porch featuring an outdoor, flush hearth custom fireplace, perfect for mountain evenings. Inside, the new kitchen is a dream for home chefs, offering generous space and functionality, while the updated bathrooms reflect quality craftsmanship and modern style. A spacious mudroom/laundry area with a second refrigerator and additional storage adds extra practicality for everyday living.
The layout offers privacy and comfort, with the primary suite tucked away on one side of the home, complete with access to a stone patio and a cozy den with walls of rare wide plank wormy chestnut, separating it from the main living space. On the opposite wing, you’ll find two guest bedrooms, a small bunk room, and an additional full bath. Upstairs, is a fourth bedroom, another full bathroom and a bonus room which provides flexible space for guests, hobbies, or home office needs.
With no restrictions (including rental), this one-of-a-kind property is a true Highlands gem whether you’re seeking a full-time residence, vacation home, or investment opportunity.
