## Description

### Agent Description
Nestled on 3.9 private, beautifully landscaped acres at the foot of majestic Shortoff Mountain, this charming Highlands farmhouse offers the perfect blend of mountain elegance, comfort, and convenience. Just minutes from downtown Highlands and the area's premier clubs, the property enjoys breathtaking views from nearly every room and an abundance of inviting indoor and outdoor living spaces. Step inside to soaring cathedral ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and a grand living room centered around a stone fireplace. The thoughtfully designed floor plan is ideal for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a cozy den with a second fireplace, multiple covered porches and decks, and seamless access to the outdoors. The gourmet chef's kitchen is beautifully appointed with Sub-Zero, Viking, Asko, and GE appliances, complemented by quartz countertops, a breakfast bar, and an inviting eat-in area. Whether hosting an intimate dinner in the formal dining room or gathering with friends on the covered deck overlooking the mountain vistas, this home was designed for memorable moments. The elegant main-level primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a walk-in closet, jetted garden tub, and its own screened porch. Three additional spacious guest bedrooms are located upstairs, including a private ensuite with loft and two bedrooms connected by a generous Jack- and-Jill bath. Additional features include a substantial two-car garage large enough for full-size SUVs, an equally spacious carriage house with bonus room above, a butler's pantry/laundry room with second refrigerator, two half baths, and abundant storage throughout. The home is well appointed with a LG washer and dryer combination and two tankless water heaters with recirculation system providing instant hot water throughout the home. This pristine home features including a new roof, new painting both interior and exterior, new interior and exterior lighting, new countertops, new oven, amazing additional landscaping including a koi pond, a fenced dog park and many more important updates. Outdoor living is exceptional, with covered porches, expansive entertaining areas, and dedicated garden space ready for your green thumb. Ideally located just five minutes from downtown Highlands and only fifteen minutes from Cashiers, this exceptional mountain retreat offers privacy, beauty, and easy access to the very best of the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau.
