A Charming Highlands Retreat with Room to Make It Your Own Tucked away on a quaint gravel road with just four other homes, this charming Highlands retreat offers the privacy, peace, and relaxed mountain lifestyle you’ve been looking for—while being just five minutes from downtown Highlands and conveniently located near Highlands Country Club. Set on a flat(ish), usable lot, the yard is a wonderful space for children to play, dogs to roam, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Inside, the home offers three bedrooms and two full baths in a desirable split-bedroom floor plan, giving everyone their own space and privacy. The inviting living room centers around a beautiful stone fireplace, creating the perfect gathering spot on a cool mountain evening. Step outside onto the large, welcoming front porch for morning coffee, or settle onto the cozy covered back porch with a good book and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. And for those looking for flexibility, this property offers even more possibilities. There is no HOA, and the home can be rented for 30 days at a time, making it an appealing addition to an investment portfolio or a Highlands getaway that can generate rental income when you’re away. The property also offers the convenience of city water and sewer. Highlands is more than a vacation destination—it’s a true mountain community filled with Southern hospitality, friendly faces, beautiful scenery, and a pace of life that makes you want to stay awhile. Whether you’re looking for a weekend escape, a full-time home, or an investment opportunity, this property offers a wonderful chance to become part of the Highlands lifestyle. Come read a book on the back porch, gather around the stone fireplace, and discover why Highlands is a place you may quickly find yourself wanting to call home. Or just enjoy time sitting by the creek and feeling the warmth of your firepit on chilly autumn nights. The furniture and art work are available for purchase outside of closing.

Set on one of Highlands’ most revered streets, where Bobby Jones once lived, 121 Bobby Jones Road pairs a spectacular view with a coveted Highlands Country Club address close to downtown Highlands. Reclaimed beams lend warmth and character to the open main living area anchored by a stone fireplace, which flows onto a deck overlooking gardens, a generous yard, and a firepit. A Carolina room with a stone fireplace offers another inviting place to gather. The large kitchen with an oversized island and a surplus of countertops makes preparing family meals with the family so convenient. The primary suite occupies its own side of the main level and features separate baths. On the lower level, three guest suites surround an additional great room with a fireplace and a kitchenette. Upstairs, a family suite includes a large bedroom with a bath and kitchenette, along with a bunk room and another sleeping area. A circular driveway makes arrivals easy at this relatively new mountain home.

Tucked into the trees just off US 64 in Sapphire, this brand-new (2026) 3-bedroom, 4-bathroom mountain retreat pairs craftsman warmth with modern mountain style. A timber-frame gable porch and cedar-shake gable accents welcome you home, while dark board-and-batten siding and a standing-seam metal roof give the exterior a refined, low-maintenance finish. Set on a private, heavily wooded 0.49-acre lot with a gravel motor court and professionally landscaped stone-edged beds, the setting feels like a true escape — yet it's minutes from Cashiers and Sapphire Valley. Inside, wide-plank white oak floors and a reclaimed timber-beam ceiling greet you at the entry. The vaulted living room is bathed in light from dual clerestory windows and anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The chef's kitchen impresses with a waterfall quartz island, farmhouse apron sink, professional gas range with pot filler, a reclaimed-wood vented hood, and a walk-in pantry with custom shelving. A spacious laundry room on the main level adds everyday convenience. The main level offers three bedrooms and three full baths, including a primary suite with its own private office — ideal for remote work — plus a spa-style bath with a curbless glass shower, picture window, and designer tile. Upstairs, a large family room and a full bath provide flexible space for guests, a media room, or a second living area. Outdoor living shines here: a covered rear porch with vaulted wood ceiling and statement chandelier overlooks the wooded backyard, while a stone-edged gravel patio with a suspended fire pit and Adirondack seating creates the perfect gathering spot under the trees. New construction, thoughtfully designed, and privately sited — this is mountain living done right.
