Property Description
Hidden behind mature landscaping in the heart of downtown Highlands lies one of the area's most enchanting private estates. Cascading water, tranquil ponds, illuminated stone pathways, and towering trees create a magical retreat where every day feels like a vacation. Remarkably, this extraordinary sanctuary is just a short, level stroll to Harris Lake, Highlands' charming boutiques, fine dining, and vibrant Main Street. The beautifully renovated main residence offers three bedrooms, three-and-a-half baths, and an inviting floor plan designed for gracious living and effortless entertaining. A spacious great- room, elegant dining area, a cozy den/TV room, large private office, chef's kitchen with large island, and separate catering/bar scullery provide modern convenience while preserving the timeless character of a mountain estate. The primary suite has a private covered porch and stone fireplace while the cascading water lulls you to sleep. An elegant bath with soaking tub and large shower insures relaxation. Accordion-style glass doors open from the dining room to a spectacular screened porch with a stone wood-burning fireplace and outdoor dining overlooking the stunning water gardens. Nearby, a grilling terrace allows year-round entertaining, while a covered stone walkway leads to private guest quarters. Perfect for family and friends, the apartment features two bedroom ensuites, a kitchenette, and a private deck where the soothing sounds of cascading water create the perfect backdrop for morning coffee or evening cocktails. The professionally designed grounds are extraordinary, with cascading water, ponds, illuminated stone pathways, and moonlighting that transforms the landscape into a magical evening setting. The oversized climate-controlled two-car garage is complete with a commercial refrigerator/freezer, generous storage, and custom copper-paneled doors that open like elegant French doors, creating a unique space for entertaining. For the automobile enthusiast, a separate collector's garage features two professional vehicle lifts and ample space for an exceptional collection. The front patio allows sitting around a fire-table for chilly evenings. Meticulously renovated and impeccably maintained, every detail reflects exceptional craftsmanship, timeless design, and uncompromising quality. More than a home, this is a private retreat, an entertainer's dream, and one of downtown Highlands' most extraordinary offerings. Truly magical!
