Easy 20 minute drive to the wonderful resort towns of Cashiers (to the east) or Highlands (to the west), but still a "deep woods" location at the end of a road with fantastic views of the mountains across the valley. Very private and rustic with only one neighbor in sight. Our backyard borders the Nantahala National Forest, and a 20-minute path leads to the Chattooga River and Chattooga River Trail with beautiful river access, picnic areas, swimming holes and endless hiking. This area is rated 'wild and scenic' by the forest service - a rare honor!
Kids love this place as we have built a special 'kids cave' inside - cozy and kid-size to get away from the adults - they have their own secret spot! Outside are play areas, swings, fort and hammock - and of course most important of all - the woods! Trails run through the woods, and the day will fly by while they explore. All the outside features are close enough so parents can enjoy their time on the upstairs screened porch and still keep an eye on the children.
Built in 2003, this passive-solar design brings the sun in during winter, so is naturally warm then, but shades the windows with overhangs and tree cover in summer so we stay cool! It also includes air conditioning and ceiling fans, a toasty see-thru gas fireplace on the main floor, and electric heat in each bedroom.
The open floor plan designed especially for family reunions. We have four full bathrooms, seven bedrooms (two with king size beds, four with queen size, and one with two twins), plus large loft (with two trundle beds) . . . this place can hold a LOT of people! Other rooms include family room, dining room, breakfast nook, and screened, covered patio and exterior deck with charcoal grill. Six BRs share adjoining baths. The mail-level BR has a queen and is designed for limited mobility persons with a bath nearby and low-threshold shower stall.
For mealtime, there is a 12-14 person dining room table, plus large circular table for 4 - 6, plus seating for 6 at the kitchen bar-top.
Includes large center-island kitchen with gas range, microwave, blender, and two coffee makers (including Keurig). Also a large laundry room with washer and dryer.
Our Dad built this for our own family and go there often when its not rented. It is stocked with many books & games (and usually staples and condiments in the pantry). Also have a smart TV with satellite cable and WiFi.
Located in Highlands, this vacation home is in a rural area and in the mountains. Highlands Country Club and Sapphire Valley Ski Resort are worth checking out if an activity is on the agenda, while those looking for area attractions can visit Cashiers Farmers Market and Highlands Biological Station. Take in the nearby slopes with snowboarding and skiing, or check out other outdoor activities such as sledding.
