A rare two-home Highlands retreat just four minutes from Main Street, this exceptional offering was originally built by renowned local craftsman Ralph Thomas and thoughtfully updated for modern mountain living. Privately set among the trees near the Mirror Lake area, the property spans approximately one acre across two lots and offers an uncommon blend of craftsmanship, flexibility, privacy, recreational access, and income-producing potential. Together, the residences provide approximately 4,500 square feet of interior living space, five bedrooms, five full baths, multiple flexible guest rooms and office spaces, two laundry/utility areas, four full-size refrigerators, and abundant indoor-outdoor living space. More than 2,000 square feet of decking includes a 400-square-foot cathedral-style screened porch, permanent seating areas, two fire pits, an outdoor stove, and peaceful spaces for gathering, dining, or relaxing beneath the tree canopy. The setting is both private and convenient, with winter mountain views, summer forest-canopy vistas, and more than 130 trees planted along the perimeter in 2020 to enhance the secluded feel. A private paved driveway provides access within a quiet enclave adjoining Mirror Lake, while nearby gravel roads, waterfalls, streams, hiking trails, Skyline Lodge, and downtown Highlands place the best of the Plateau close at hand. The primary residence underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2020 while preserving its original Adirondack camp character. Original wormy chestnut cabinetry and wood flooring remain, complemented by Bosch and Liebherr appliances, updated baths, a screened outdoor living area with electric screens, a metal roof, and replacement windows and doors throughout. Additional features include two wood-burning fireplaces, a gas river-rock fireplace, two garages with space for three vehicles, workshop areas, guest parking, high-speed internet service with fiber-optic availability, and a generator serving both homes. The second residence has been upgraded to strengthen rental appeal and has generated up to $60,000 annually in long & short-term rental income. Located outside the Town of Highlands limits, the property benefits from the absence of municipal rental restrictions, offering flexibility for personal use, guest accommodations, or investment income. With two distinct homes, refined updates, original craftsmanship, outdoor living, and proven rental performance, this is a truly distinctive Highlands property.

Some homes make you stop the moment you arrive. This is one of them. Tucked within the gated, tree-canopied enclave of Butler Mountain Estates, in Fairview, NC, just minutes from Asheville and the scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, is a 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath mountain estate where the views never end, in any season. Endless long-range mountain panoramas greet you from nearly every window, and from the covered rocking porches, where you can simply sit, breathe, and take it all in. This is a legacy home in every sense of the word. The current owners have poured intention into every detail since acquiring the property in 2022. The interiors were completely reimagined, with each space thoughtfully curated to reflect a sophisticated, refined aesthetic. The exterior was freshly painted this year, and the flat driveway, a rarity at this elevation, welcomes you home effortlessly. At 6,292 square feet on nearly 5 private acres, the scale is commanding without sacrificing warmth. Three fireplaces - one in the living room, one in the family room, and one in an upper-level bedroom ensuite - create an atmosphere that is as intimate as it is impressive. Two primary ensuites on the main level offer flexibility and privacy for multigenerational living or discerning guests. A private main-level office, formal dining area, and an abundance of closet and storage space throughout speak to a home designed for real life, lived beautifully. An enormous floor-to-ceiling cabinet pantry with a dedicated refrigerator opens directly to a grilling porch, making entertaining and hosting a seamless experience. The upper level is a world unto itself. A magnificent great room features a kitchenette, a pool table, a generous sitting area, and a library alcove framed by custom built-ins. Flooded with natural light, it is equally suited as an art studio, a creative retreat, or simply the room everyone gravitates toward. Butler Mountain Estates offers something increasingly rare: a walkable, neighborly community within a gated setting, crowned by a 5-acre common recreation area at the mountain's summit with views that stretch to the horizon. This is mountain living at its most elevated.
