The true magic unfolds outdoors on this nearly one-acre private retreat. A rocking-chair front porch invites you to unwind while watching birds play in the bubbling fountain at the front of the house. The rear screened porch offers peaceful views of the backyard, fire pit, barn, and chicken coop. Enjoy spending time in your garden or stroll down a path that leads you to a wooded area behind the home where you’ll discover an adorable, She Shed and small hideaway cellar beneath the chicken coop.

Spend the evening at the fire pit relaxing to the sound of the waterfall cascading down a small creek and into a pond by the large barn on the property. Shoot baskets at the basketball hoop on the barn, relax inside with the barn doors open playing board games, or pass the time in the loft watching TV or trying your hand at the top-of-the-line Tornado foosball table. Professionally designed landscaping blends beautifully with mature trees to create a one-of-a-kind property. This thoughtfully curated outdoor oasis creates a one-of-a-kind escape that perfectly captures the essence of Highlands living.

The home is offered fully furnished, with the kitchen stocked (including dishes and cooking implements, microwave, gas range, coffee maker, new refrigerator, and disposal), an outdoor propane gas grill, washer and dryer, level 2 electric vehicle charger, and smart TVs in the living room, master bedroom, screened porch, and barn loft. All on one level (with just three stairs to the front porch), the property enjoys excellent cell phone reception on a state-maintained road. It also carries a proven history as a successful rental and is not subject to the rental restrictions found in Highlands’ R-1 and R-2 zones.

This is a turnkey opportunity to own a slice of Highlands history with modern elegance and exceptional outdoor living. Whether as a primary residence, second home, or income-producing property, it’s ready for you to make unforgettable memories.”
