8508 Buck Creek Road, Highlands, NC 28741

This lovely home set back from the road overlooks a beautiful lawn filled with perennials and dahlia beds. It feels like a sanctuary, backing up to a National Forest with 1800 acres and 8.82 acres of its own. A second building nestled in the woods is used as an art studio. Add a bathroom and a small kitchen, and it will be the perfect guest house. A private well and a spring create the opportunity to have a self-sustaining property with lots of options. This home was built in 1956 with an addition in 1998, designed by local Architect Dennis DeWolf. The entrance brings you into a dramatic music room with two grand pianos. To the left, up the stairs, is the family room with the primary suite and cozy screened porch. The family room has a gorgeous wood-burning fireplace. To the right is the original home with a living room, dining room, kitchen, three guest bedrooms, and a beautiful office just off the spacious eat-in kitchen. A double-sided fireplace is between the living room and kitchen. The living room has a Vermont Wood-stove in the fireplace to quickly heat the room. The back deck of the house faces beautiful sunsets and the landscaped lawn. A large, fenced area is great for dogs to roam safely or could be great for a horse if desired. A separate shed is a perfect size for lawn equipment. A beautiful outside stone patio and stone fireplace are elegant for outside entertaining. This four-bedroom, and a three-and-a-half-bath is a must-see!
