131 Big Creek Ln Highlands, NC 28741

"Tucked In" is beautifully situated on the rushing water of Big Creek with many opportunities to enjoy the walkways, terraces and views to the creek as well as trails throughout the garden and wooded areas. As you walk into the home you are greeted with a large great room with soaring ceilings, a stone wood burning fireplace, and large chandelier that anchors the living area. Details throughout include shiplap walls, hardwood floors, built-in bookcases, custom draperies and bed linens as well as thoughtful designer touches. The great room has a box-bay window with a large dining table as well as clerestory windows that let in the light. Just off the great room is the screened porch where you will spend hours by the fireplace listening to the rushing water. There are automated roll-down panels which extends the season and provide protection on wet days. Just off the porch is an open deck and a grill area. The kitchen is thoughtfully tucked into this corner of the house with a window that opens to the porch to enjoy ongoing conversation or easily pass through food. The primary suite is on the opposite end of this floor making for easy one level living, if needed. There is a foyer, powder room and laundry closet on the main floor. Upstairs is a loft area that overlooks the great room. To each side of the loft are the other two bedroom suites. There is ample parking and an EV charger. Above and in front of the house is a garden area with an arbor and a trail through the woods to a private sitting area. Trails continue to the side with a garden shed and additional garden and sitting areas. The real focus is the stone pathway with terraces that descends to the creek where you can relax and enjoy the view and sound of the water and the small waterfall. The home is conveniently located off Billy Cabin Road, near Skyline Lodge and Oak Steakhouse. It has an excellent rental history with many repeat visitors and is outside the town limits, with no rental restrictions. The house is being sold fully furnished with only a few exceptions, making it turn-key with several rentals booked this season.
