About 251 Edwards Creek Rd
This comfy mountain cabin has everything you need in beautiful, pastoral Horse Cove. Just minutes from downtown Highlands, it features two bedrooms and two baths with good separation on three floors. Lots of outdoor space to enjoy both the mountains and a lovely pond across the road. You'll love looking at the stars from the warmth of the hot tub or cozying up to the fire pit on the deck. Inside you'll find a rustic feel with lots of wood, large windows to bring the outside in, and a cozy gas fireplace for cooler times. Off the downstairs bedroom is an additional room for an office, or whatever you want it to be, along with the screened porch. This peaceful abode comes furnished and ready to be your year-round home, vacation home or rental. A one-car carport with a small workshop room behind it adds to the appeal. The property adjoins National Forest. Easy on your pocketbook.
