A true traditional Highlands' farmhouse, built in 1993, sits on the Atlanta side of Highlands just about 12 minutes from downtown and enjoys beautiful views of Scaly and King mountains. Screened from the road by a mature evergreen hedge, it offers a sense of privacy and a gracious approach. A wide porch wraps around three sides of the home, with decking laid on a true north-south axis and the Continental Divide running through the middle of the house. In the evenings, the North Star is centered in the view from the porch, with the Big Dipper pointing directly to it. The porch provides two comfortable seating areas plus an outdoor dining space overlooking the Hosta garden. Inside, high ceilings and two fireplaces create airy, welcoming living spaces. The vaulted living room is a standout, featuring beams salvaged from Charlotte's original train station for distinctive historic character. The main level includes an owner's bedroom and bath, as well as a conveniently located half-bath off the entrance hall. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms and three baths, a library area, and a separate office. From the office and the two front-facing bedrooms you can see the farm's pastures and Scaly Mountain, while the third bedroom opens to a balcony overlooking the rear terrace and garden area. A two-car garage connects to the main house via a covered breezeway, with the parking area screened from the back gardens by hydrangeas and evergreens. The property also offers a potting shed designed by Atlanta architect Tom Ventulett and a separate tool house. Extensive gardens showcase a wide variety of conifers, a raised fenced vegetable garden, terraced beds with dahlias and other flowers for cutting, and a wooded Hosta trail leading to an orchard with about a dozen apple and pear trees. Near the gardens and orchard, a croquet court enclosed by an evergreen hedge provides a spacious, level setting for recreation or tented outdoor events.
