Scenic, Serene, and Sustainable! Tucked away in the Highland Gap community just minutes from Dillard Road, this extraordinary log estate offers panoramic mountain views, unmatched privacy, and purposeful design. Built in 2001 by renowned Lupoli Construction, the five-bedroom residence showcases authentic log construction with soaring vaulted ceilings, rich natural wood interiors, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace that anchors the great room — a true gathering place for family and friends. Designed with sustainability in mind, the property features a fully integrated solar power system while still offering access to traditional electricity, creating an impressive balance of self-sufficiency and modern convenience. Beyond the main residence, the land tells its own story. Two additional homesites have development potential, creating the opportunity for a future family compound or multi-generational retreat. With 70+ acres preserved in a land trust, your views, privacy, and peace of mind remain protected for generations to come. Surrounded by North Carolina wilderness yet conveniently located near both Highlands and Clayton, you’ll enjoy access to fine dining, boutique shopping, outdoor recreation, country clubs, and excellent schools — all within easy reach. A remarkable combination of privacy, scale, craftsmanship, and conservation — this is mountain living at its finest!
