This unique and beautiful home was built by Dr. Charles Highsmith in 1961. He commissioned a well known architect in the area to design a contemporary ranch home for his then wife and 3 growing children. He had for many years prior, collected native sandstone from old historic home sites throughout North Carolina and had his architect design and reuse stone in his home. It was used extensively throughout the house and all of the hard scape around its 10.5 acre grounds. Birch paneled walls line the living room and dining room and in the Den Dr. Highsmith used solid Butternut wood to warm the room. The house has 4,664 sf on the main level and 1,600 sf of finished heated and cooled basement. It has two large storage and utility areas in the basement. It is connected to city water, sewer, electric, cable TV and telephone. It is near enough to downtown Troy that High Speed and Broadband Internet service is available at the highest speeds available. This is truly a one-of-a-kind home built with large steel beams throughout and 3 Hugh natural stone wood burning fireplaces. It has original copper plumbing and 3 phase, 200 amp underground electrical service. You would be hard presses to find a better built home. Dr. Highsmith also sculpted a small island into the 2 acre pond on the grounds. This home site is private and secluded but close enough to downtown Troy, the county seat of Montgomery County, to make this a perfect retreat in the city.
