## Description

### Agent Description
Imagine a life where each morning begins with a short walk from your front gate across the street to the trail leading directly into the heart of Highlands. Here, daily life balances effortless access to vibrant mountain living with the calm privacy of a wooded sanctuary. Set on four remarkable acres just moments from town, this estate is more than a beautiful home-it is part of Highlands' enduring story. The property traces its origins to the early influence of the Ravenel family of Charleston, whose extensive landholdings helped shape the Plateau. Today, these acres carry forward that legacy, offering a rare sense of continuity and place. What makes this offering especially rare is the land itself. Unlike many in-town properties, these four acres are largely usable-opening the door to a more intentional way of living. Whether envisioned as a gentleman's farm, greenhouse, or thoughtfully designed family compound, the property lends itself naturally to a more sustainable lifestyle-all just minutes from Main Street. Built circa 1922 by the Evins family and thoughtfully restored by builder John Underwood with design by architect Sam Edgens, the home honors its history while living comfortably for today. A gated entrance and laurel-lined drive lead to an elegant three-story mountain colonial of approximately 6,500 square feet. Inside, original oak and antique chestnut floors harvested from the land, stone fireplaces, handcrafted millwork, and more than 60 windows create warmth and scale. In-floor hydronic heating on the first and second levels ensures year-round comfort. The chef's kitchen, with its own fireplace, invites both casual mornings and refined entertaining, while spa-inspired baths and flexible third-floor spaces support everyday living and hosting alike. Outdoor living is equally compelling, with stone patios, a Rumford-style fireplace, heated pool, and spa surrounded by mature plantings. The home sits on the continental divide so rain from the front flows towards the west and rain from the back of the home flows east. An activity barn, trails, and expansive lawns offer space for recreation and reflection, while a guest cottage and additional accommodations above the garage support a multi-generational retreat. Just beyond, the Rhododendron Trail connects to Ravenel Lake, Sunset Rock, and downtown Highlands. This is a legacy property-private, connected, and increasingly rare.
