There is something wonderfully liberating about arriving in Highlands with nothing to do but enjoy being here. No weekend projects. Nothing demanding your attention. Just a beautifully finished new home, a wooded mountain setting, and the freedom to decide how the day will unfold. Located less than ten minutes from Main Street, White Oak Village offers convenient access to the restaurants, shops, hiking trails, waterfalls and country clubs that make Highlands so special. Highlands-Cashiers Hospital is also nearby, adding another measure of convenience and reassurance. The open, light-filled main level is designed for the way people naturally gather. The kitchen flows easily into the dining and living areas, where a sleek gas fireplace adds warmth on cool mountain evenings. Four-panel glass doors open wide to the deck, inviting in the fresh air and the soothing sound of the stream below. Upstairs, the primary and guest suites provide peaceful, private retreats. The terrace level gives this residence a dimension rarely found in a townhome. With its own exterior entrance, living area, full kitchen, laundry, ensuite bedroom and covered outdoor space, it can live independently while remaining connected to the rest of the home. Welcome family and friends without sacrificing privacy, create a retreat for extended-stay guests, or use all three levels as one comfortable residence. Located just outside the Highlands town limits, White Oak Village also offers valuable rental flexibility. Enjoy the home whenever Highlands calls, rent the entire residence while you are away, or explore the potential to rent the terrace level independently. Fresh finishes, thoughtful design and low-maintenance ownership make this an inviting opportunity for both personal enjoyment and potential income. Six residences were created, one has already sold, and five opportunities remain. Your place in Highlands is ready when you are.
