Sky High Cottage presents a unique opportunity to enjoy mountain living from a peaceful, elevated setting at approximately 4,100 feet above sea level - higher than Main Street in Highlands. Tucked at the end of the road, this private retreat offers a true sense of escape while remaining just minutes from town. Surrounded by mature, native landscaping - rhododendron, weeping cherry, and blooming hydrangeas - the home blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings, with Scaly Mountain providing a beautiful backdrop. Protected National Forest land borders the property, and a Forest Service road just beyond the driveway leads directly to the Bartram Trail, offering effortless access to hiking and outdoor adventure. And yet, it remains conveniently connected to the local community - only about 15 minutes to Highlands and 30 minutes to Clayton. Outdoor living is a standout feature, with both covered and open decks designed to take full advantage of the cool mountain air and treetop views. A charming stone patio below creates an inviting space for gathering, relaxing, or enjoying quiet evenings in nature. Inside, the home is warm and inviting, centered around a Malm gas fireplace (with the option to convert to wood-burning) in the main living area. The layout flows comfortably between the living, kitchen, and dining spaces, making it ideal for both everyday living and casual entertaining. Two spacious bedrooms share a well-sized bathroom, and the metal roof adds to the cozy mountain ambiance - especially during a passing rain. Practical upgrades such as HardiePlank-style siding, an encapsulated crawl space, and a tankless water heater provide low-maintenance, efficient living. The property also offers flexibility for future expansion or customization, giving the next owner the opportunity to enhance and grow the home over time. Offered furnished, the cottage is ready for immediate enjoyment. With its privacy, elevation, and direct access to outdoor recreation, it also offers excellent potential as a short-term or seasonal rental investment.

Few condos in the region offer a front-row view of a landmark waterfall - and this one delivers it from nearly every room. Toxaway Falls thunders across a dramatic multi-cascade drop directly outside, with Gorges State Park preserving the opposite bank in perpetuity, ensuring the view remains unchanged regardless of what develops around it. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom unit is configured for easy main-level access with no interior stairs and an open floor plan that moves naturally from the living area through the dining space and into the kitchen. A fireplace anchors the living room, and sliding doors open to a covered back porch - the best seat in the house for watching the falls shift through the seasons. The primary suite shares the same porch access and the same views. Natural light carries through the unit; leave the doors open and the sound of the falls carries through. All three bedrooms are well-proportioned, with good closet storage throughout. The two full bathrooms are functional and well-positioned for the layout. The unit is sold fully furnished and turn-key ready, with a documented vacation rental history. Toxaway Falls community amenities include a pool and trails, while the fantastic shopping and dining of Highlands, Cashiers, and Brevard are just a short drive away.
