Nestled within the gated community of Highlands Falls Country Club, this exceptional dual-residence estate offers an unmatched blend of architectural craftsmanship, modern livability, and refined mountain serenity. Sited on 1.2 private acres surrounded by mature hardwoods and layered mountain views, the property includes a 4BR main residence with a 2-car garage and a fully renovated 2BR guest cottage featuring its own 2-car garage—each designed with sophistication, comfort, and intentional detail. All furniture is negotiable, offering the opportunity for a truly turnkey mountain retreat.
The main house showcases vaulted ceilings, expansive windows, and long-range vistas that illuminate the living spaces with natural light. Solid white oak doors, copper gas lanterns, natural stonework, and handcrafted finishes elevate the home’s mountain-chic design. On the main level, a spacious great room with a stone fireplace opens to an inviting covered deck, while the gourmet kitchen features custom cabinetry, paneled appliances, a La Cornue range, quartz countertops, and a scullery. A separate media room on this level offers a cozy retreat with a pull-down projector screen and its own fireplace, creating an intimate space for movie nights or quiet relaxation. The serene primary suite completes this floor with private forest views and a spa-inspired en-suite bath.
The lower level extends the home’s retreat-like atmosphere with a full guest bedroom and its own private en-suite bath, along with a curated wine cellar and walk-out access to a second covered deck—perfect for year-round enjoyment. Every space balances intimacy and openness, creating a seamless connection between indoor comfort and outdoor beauty.
Steps away, the 2020-renovated guest cottage pairs Old Highlands charm with modern luxury. Vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and warm wood tones frame a cozy living area anchored by a stone fireplace. The custom kitchen includes paneled appliances, quartz countertops, and a cast-stone hood, while both bedrooms offer private en-suite baths—one with a walk-in shower, the other with a clawfoot soaking tub. French doors open to a covered deck overlooking the treetops, offering quiet moments of privacy and connection with nature.
Living within Highlands Falls Country Club enhances the experience even further. HFCC is known for its world-class golf course, vibrant social atmosphere, and breathtaking natural surroundings. Members enjoy access to exceptional amenities, including tennis and pickleball courts, a fitness and wellness center, spa services, and fine dining at the clubhouse. Meandering streams, cascading waterfalls, and panoramic mountain vistas enrich daily life, creating an environment that feels elevated, welcoming, and connected to nature.
