Description

Modern Mountain Escape on Two Acres

Perched on nearly two acres of pristine mountain landscape, this inviting 5-bedroom, 3-bath lodge captures the heart of Highlands living — where panoramic views, fresh mountain air, and warm, rustic comfort come together in perfect harmony. Surrounded by forested ridges and endless horizons, this modern retreat offers both peaceful seclusion and easy access to the area’s beloved hiking trails, waterfalls, and charming downtown.

The main level blends refined design with mountain character, anchored by a bright and open living area that leads to the expansive deck beyond. The primary suite features a king bed, mountain views, and a newly renovated bathroom with a walk-in shower and freestanding soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms share a second renovated bath, one with a queen bed and mountain views, and the other with two sets of bunk beds, ideal for kids or larger groups. The fully equipped kitchen features an oversized island, modern appliances, and a spacious dining area that opens directly onto the outdoor living spaces.

Downstairs, the lower level serves as the home’s entertainment hub — a lively gathering place for family and friends. Here, a game room with a 65-inch TV, foosball table, and Buck Hunter Pro arcade invites hours of fun, while a cozy lounge area offers the perfect setting for movie nights or game-day viewing. This level also includes two additional bedrooms, one with a king bed and one with a queen, and a renovated full bathroom.

Outdoor living is at the heart of this mountain escape. Step from the living room onto a screened-in porch complete with a wood-burning fireplace and ample seating, an ideal spot to gather after a day on the trails. The adjoining deck offers two dining tables for enjoying meals surrounded by the beauty of the Highlands forest. Whether you prefer dining al fresco or unwinding fireside beneath the glow of string lights, every space is designed to celebrate the natural setting.

Located just minutes from Highlands’ renowned shops, restaurants, and outdoor adventures, the property offers convenient access to hiking, waterfalls, gem mining, and swimming holes, as well as Highlands Aerial Park for thrilling canopy zipline tours. Families will love the nearby recreation center, which features an indoor pool and playground for younger guests. Every season reveals something special here, from crisp autumn colors to cozy winter fires and summer afternoons spent exploring hidden trails.
