The Satulah Mountain Retreat

Welcome to a piece of history on Satulah Mountain! Built in 1942, this gem exudes the timeless charm of Old Highlands and an unhurried ambiance of a bygone era.
With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the historic house boasts knotty pine walls, an enchanting stone fireplace, a spacious covered porch, and cozy bedrooms. Whether you’re indulging in a good book, crafting a mountain-inspired meal, engaging in family games, or simply unwinding by the fireplace, this home invites you to savor every moment.

Nestled on more than four acres and surrounded by old-growth rhododendrons and century-old hardwoods, the property offers privacy and abundant greenspace for the kids to play. Picture yourself singing campfire songs and eating s’mores by the wood-burning stone firepit or engaging in friendly competition on your very own shuffleboard court.

Just 1.7 miles from Main Street, the location offers easy access to world-class shopping, and gourmet restaurants in Highlands, NC. Explore nearby attractions like trout fishing, jeep tours, waterfalls, hiking, swimming, golfing, antiquing, live music and more. Consider taking in a show at the state-of-the-art Performing Arts Center or immersing yourself in Appalachian art at The Bascom.
