Whether you're seeking a seasonal escape or a year-round retreat, this thoughtfully designed home delivers comfort, beauty, and low-maintenance living in one of the Plateau's most desirable locations. Lovingly maintained throughout the years, the home underwent a major renovation in 2014, creating the warm, inviting spaces enjoyed today. More recently, a new air conditioning unit was installed, providing added comfort and peace of mind for years to come. One of this property's most exceptional features is its remarkable privacy.

Additional features include a separate laundry area and generous lower-level storage, adding practicality to the home's charm. Set on 1.5 gently sloping acres, the property offers exceptional privacy, easy maintenance, and ample parking. Perfectly positioned between Cashiers and Highlands, you'll enjoy convenient access to renowned dining, boutique shopping, hiking, waterfalls, and a vibrant arts scene. With no rental restrictions, this property also presents an outstanding investment opportunity or the perfect weekend retreat for those looking to escape the pace of city life. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained mountain cottage in an extraordinary natural setting—private, peaceful, turnkey, and ready to enjoy.
