Highlands Mountain Meadow

Welcome to Highlands Mountain Meadow, a beautifully renovated mountain retreat tucked away in the peaceful Scaly Mountain/Highlands area of North Carolina. Set on a spacious 10 acre property surrounded by fresh mountain air, rolling greenery, gorgeous views and natural beauty. This home is designed for guests who want style, comfort, and location.

The space
Set amid the natural beauty of Scaly Mountain, Highlands Mountain Meadow is a beautifully renovated mountain retreat that blends refined rustic character with inviting spaces designed for gathering, relaxing, and enjoying the outdoors.

Beyond the gated entrance, a winding paved driveway leads to a cedar-shingle exterior accented by stone chimneys, dramatic gabled windows, mature landscaping, and expansive decks—creating a welcoming first impression in every season.

Outdoor living is one of the home’s greatest highlights. The large, level yard offers plenty of space for children to run and play, while trails throughout the property invite exploration and adventure. Evenings can be spent soaking in the hot tub beneath the mountain sky, roasting s’mores around the firepit, enjoying al fresco meals, or relaxing beside the fireplace on the screened porch surrounded by peaceful woodland views.

Inside, soaring wood-clad ceilings, exposed beams, reclaimed barnwood, warm hardwood and brick flooring, and walls of glass create an authentic yet elevated mountain-lodge atmosphere. The great room is anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, while oversized windows frame the surrounding trees and layered mountain scenery.

The fully updated and well-stocked kitchen pairs character with functionality, featuring custom cabinetry, a generous island with seating, high-end appliances, double ovens, exposed beams, and its own brick fireplace. A light-filled sitting room, charming half bath, spacious dining area, and multiple gathering spaces make the home equally well suited for quiet weekends, family getaways, and time spent entertaining friends.

The primary retreat features vaulted ceilings, rich wood finishes, private deck access, and a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The spacious, fully renovated bath offers a refined retreat of its own, with heated marble floors, a freestanding soaking tub, walk-in closet, bidet, custom cabinetry, and thoughtfully selected fixtures and hardware.
Upstairs, guests will find three additional charming bedrooms and two beautifully renovated full bathrooms. Luxury linens, comfortable furnishings, and thoughtfully curated décor bring an added sense of warmth, sophistication, and comfort to the second floor.

Despite its peaceful, private setting, the home is conveniently located about 15 minutes from downtown Highlands and less than five minutes from several popular area attractions, including Highlands Aerial Park, Highlands Outpost tubing, the Alpine Mountain Coaster, a scenic par-72 mountain golf course, and The Vineyard at High Holly. Nearby adventures also include waterfalls, ATV tours, falconry, fly fishing, gem mining, and charming Julep Farms.

From summer afternoons in the yard to crisp fall evenings around the fire and snowy winter nights indoors, Highlands Mountain Meadow offers a warm, family-friendly mountain escape with an ideal balance of recreation, relaxation, privacy, and memorable outdoor experiences.
