There are homes that are decorated, and there are homes that are collected, and this enchanting Mirror Lake cottage is decidedly the latter. Thoughtfully and professionally edited throughout, the residence reflects an effortless sense of style that feels both refined and unmistakably Highlands. Warm, wormy chestnut wood-paneled rooms transition beautifully into light-filled spaces with painted tongue-and-groove ceilings, exposed beams, hardwood floors, natural textures, and an artful mix of furnishings and artwork gathered with intention; sleek satin pewter and polished nickel door and cabinet hardware from PE Guerin in Greenwich Village, NYC, adds sophistication throughout. Offering one bedroom, two full baths, and versatile flex space, the home has been designed around comfortable, gracious living rather than convention. Intimate gathering areas invite conversation, reading, dining, and quiet afternoons at home, while each room maintains its own distinct character. Offered fully furnished, the cottage provides a rare opportunity to step into a home whose atmosphere has been carefully considered from room to room. Outdoors, a gravel drive leads to mature landscaping, blooming hydrangeas, and charming gravel pathways with stone insets, along with secluded garden spaces that extend the interior's peaceful feel. Located in the sought-after Mirror Lake neighborhood, just minutes from the heart of downtown Highlands, 286 Mirror Lake Road is a beautifully composed mountain retreat that captures the understated elegance and enduring character of Highlands cottage living.

Welcome to 133 Hidden Springs Way-where rustic charm meets timeless luxury in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Nestled at the end of the road in a quiet neighborhood and backing up to Forest Service Land, this enchanting log home is a mountain lover's dream come true. Breathtaking long-range mountain views greet you from nearly every window, with a distant landscape that shifts with the seasons-lush green in summer, fiery hues in fall, and quiet snow-kissed peaks in winter. West facing, the sunsets maximize your evening views. Crafted with rich log construction, this residence exudes warmth and authenticity, with soaring wood-beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, and a stone fireplace that anchors the heart of the home. Thoughtfully offered fully furnished, every room has been designed for comfort, beauty, and effortless mountain living. The main level features a spacious open-concept living and dining area (both with fireplaces), well-appointed kitchen, and a peaceful primary suite that feels like a private retreat that is situated with views and access to the expansive screened living porch. 2 guest bedrooms, a full bath and a loft are located on the upper level, with a custom catwalk over the main level leading to the in-law suite - adorned with second private entrance from garage, living area, bedroom, kitchenette and bath-offers incredible flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or even rental potential. The lower level of this custom home offers a family room and gaming area, complete with a pool table and bar area. Second laundry area is found on lower level, with a partial unfinished space that is plumbed to add another bath. Outside, the expansive main level screened porch invites you to sip morning coffee with the fresh mountain air or unwind to the stars in the distance, surrounded by nothing but the sounds of nature. The lower level screened porch is a great addition where family and friends can overflow from the family and game room. Located just a short drive from downtown Highlands, you'll enjoy privacy and the best of both worlds-seclusion with convenience. Come home to the magic of the mountains. 133 Hidden Springs Way is more than a home-it's a lifestyle

There is something wonderfully liberating about arriving in Highlands with nothing to do but enjoy being here. No weekend projects. Nothing demanding your attention. Just a beautifully finished new home, a wooded mountain setting, and the freedom to decide how the day will unfold. Located less than ten minutes from Main Street, White Oak Village offers convenient access to the restaurants, shops, hiking trails, waterfalls and country clubs that make Highlands so special. Highlands-Cashiers Hospital is also nearby, adding another measure of convenience and reassurance. The open, light-filled main level is designed for the way people naturally gather. The kitchen flows easily into the dining and living areas, where a sleek gas fireplace adds warmth on cool mountain evenings. Four-panel glass doors open wide to the deck, inviting in the fresh air and the soothing sound of the stream below. Upstairs, the primary and guest suites provide peaceful, private retreats. The terrace level gives this residence a dimension rarely found in a townhome. With its own exterior entrance, living area, full kitchen, laundry, ensuite bedroom and covered outdoor space, it can live independently while remaining connected to the rest of the home. Welcome family and friends without sacrificing privacy, create a retreat for extended-stay guests, or use all three levels as one comfortable residence. Located just outside the Highlands town limits, White Oak Village also offers valuable rental flexibility. Enjoy the home whenever Highlands calls, rent the entire residence while you are away, or explore the potential to rent the terrace level independently. Fresh finishes, thoughtful design and low-maintenance ownership make this an inviting opportunity for both personal enjoyment and potential income. Six residences were created, one has already sold, and five opportunities remain. Your place in Highlands is ready when you are.

MLS Number 1003981

  • Residential
  • Bedrooms 3
  • Bathroom 3
  • Acreage 3.09

Tucked into 3.09 private, unrestricted acres with no HOA, this fully reimagined mountain retreat pairs warm, custom craftsmanship with the kind of usable, gently terraced land that's genuinely rare on the plateau. A series of flat, landscaped tiers step down from the home toward a stone fire pit patio, giving you real outdoor living space to match the views - including a 180-degree mountain vista in the winter months. Inside, tobacco weathered acacia wood flooring runs throughout, setting a warm tone for every space. The kitchen is a true centerpiece, with custom wood cabinetry, high-end appliances, a breakfast bar, and French doors that open straight onto the deck - with a cozy coffee nook tucked just off to the side. A wood-beamed living room centers on a stacked-stone fireplace, and the adjoining dining room is finished with wainscoting. All three bedrooms are ensuite with king beds. The primary suite is a retreat of its own: a private office with French doors opening to the deck and mountain views, a spa-caliber bathroom with a custom stone-wall walk-in shower, and a built-in sauna that seats four. Heated slate floors run through all three bathrooms. A well-appointed laundry room adds a stackable washer/dryer, a sink, and a custom built-in dog bed. Outside, the home offers an oversized two-car garage/outbuilding with untapped potential, a circular driveway, a single-car carport, and dedicated RV parking - all connected by a gravel drive that winds past the terraced, landscaped grounds. It's a rare combination of privacy and usable land in the Highlands market, with views of Yellow Mountain from the property. In the last two years, the sellers have replaced the septic system, furnace, and water heater, rewired and re-plumbed the entire home, rebuilt the deck, and added additional insulation for year-round efficiency - the next owner inherits not just beautiful finishes, but a home that's been renewed from the ground up. Just 5 minutes to the Yellow Mountain trailhead, 15 minutes to downtown Highlands, 25 minutes to Cashiers, and 30 minutes to Franklin - private, move-in ready, and perfectly positioned to enjoy everything the Plateau has to offer.
