Just minutes outside of Highlands, along the Mountain Waters Scenic Byway, the Cullasaja River winds through miles of protected National Forest, untouched, timeless, and breathtaking and then...there is this. A rare pocket of private land, with less than ten homes, and one extraordinary retreat. Welcome to Goldmine Fish Camp! Brokers/Owners When we found this property, we knew it was something special. Featuring a waterfall in the backyard, Goldmine Creek running alongside the home and the Cullasaja River flowing through the front yard. Two years ago, we bought this home for ourselves. We completely gutted it - reimagining every space, every detail - creating what is essentially a brand-new home. Today, it is fully furnished, thoughtfully designed and truly turnkey. With designer furnishings, fine linens, and a fully stocked kitchen this home is ready for you to arrive, unpack and begin living. In our real estate business, we are privileged to help fulfill our clients' dreams every day, and sometimes that means sacrificing our own. We imagined this as our weekend escape, a place to slow down and enjoy all that nature has to offer, but reality has other plans. We remain committed to our clients' needs and are unable to carve out the time to enjoy this piece of paradise. So now, our dream becomes your opportunity. Fish in the river, float the Cullasaja or pan for gold in Goldmine Creek. Share meals in the gazebo with fireplace, sit around the firepit and share stories with family and friends and let nature set the pace. This isn't just a home; it's a legacy retreat. The last family owned it for forty years. This is a home where memories are made and kept. Your dream is ready to come true!! Owners/Brokers
