Property Description
Tucked at the end of a private gravel road on 3.94 acres bordering National Forest, this beautifully renovated retreat is the definition of true seclusion — the kind where you can't see another rooftop, Nicholas Branch runs along the property's edge, and hiking can happen right from your front door. Inside, a fully reimagined kitchen blends European charm with brand-new GE Cafe appliances — hand-painted tile, a statement copper hood, and cabinetry with real personality. The great room's wood-beamed ceilings and stone fireplace set the tone for the whole home: warm, unfussy, and built for gathering. Upstairs, both bedrooms open onto a screened porch outfitted with a swinging bed, where the view of White Rock Mountain does most of the talking. Outside, a covered porch with its own stone fireplace looks out over the rock-face view, while the flat, fenced backyard — complete with a stone retaining wall, a fire pit, and a storybook garden shed — makes the most of rare level ground in the mountains. A second deck offers even more room to gather. Set in the charming community of Scaly Mountain, the property is just 20 minutes from downtown Highlands and Clayton, Georgia — close enough for dinner out or an afternoon on Main Street, far enough to feel like your own world. The Bartram Trail crosses the ridges nearby, and Highlands Aerial Park and Highlands Outpost are just down the road for zip lining, tubing, and trout fishing. This is mountain living with room to breathe: more trees, more silence, and a setting that can't be replicated closer to town. This is a home for buyers who know exactly what they're looking for: uncompromising privacy, a renovation done right, and a place that offers the best of both worlds — the quiet of the mountains and the culture of Highlands, minutes away.
