## Description

### Agent Description
Tucked along the edge of the Nantahala National Forest - offering protected privacy and no future development beyond - this charming mountain cottage is just four miles from Highlands Main Street and conveniently located off Dillard Road. Designed for easy mountain living, this single-level home features an open-concept kitchen, dining, and living area centered around a cozy fireplace. Just beyond, a covered back porch opens to the peaceful, wooded setting - perfect for morning coffee or evening relaxation. The home includes two bedrooms and two bathrooms, along with a versatile bonus room. The gentle, nearly level yard at approximately 3,900 feet in elevation offers exceptional usability - rare for a Highlands-area property. Updates include a new HVAC system, encapsulated basement, fresh exterior paint, and a roof replacement in 2022. A large circular driveway provides ample parking and easy access. With no HOA and no deed restrictions, this property offers flexibility for personal use, a second home, or a short-term rental investment. Enjoy close proximity to hiking, waterfalls, and outdoor recreation, as well as Highlands' renowned dining, boutique shopping, and arts scene. A true mountain retreat - comfortable and ready to enjoy from day one, with the chance to personalize over time.
