Discover a place where the beauty of the mountains, the peaceful sounds of rushing water, and the timeless charm of Horse Cove come together to create an extraordinary mountain lifestyle. Welcome to 85 Hillcrest Drive, a unique retreat nestled in one of the Highlands area's most picturesque and historic valleys. Situated on approximately 3.58 acres in the heart of Horse Cove, this distinctive property offers a wonderful combination of natural beauty, privacy, and mountain character. Originally a barn, the residence has been thoughtfully transformed into an inviting mountain home, surrounded by lush greenery, mature trees, and a rushing stream that flows toward Edwards Creek. The setting invites you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy the simple pleasures of mountain living. Horse Cove is one of the Highlands area's hidden treasures, a beautiful valley surrounded by majestic mountains, where winding country roads, historic homesteads, flowing streams, and unspoiled landscapes preserve the character of a simpler time. Here, mornings begin with birdsong and fresh mountain air, afternoons invite hiking, fishing, and exploring nearby waterfalls, and evenings are best enjoyed around the fire pit beneath a canopy of stars. The property's natural surroundings provide a wonderful setting for outdoor living, gardening, entertaining, or simply relaxing and listening to the sounds of the creek. Its connection to the area's rich history adds a special dimension to this remarkable mountain retreat. Just a scenic drive away, downtown Highlands offers an entirely different experience. Enjoy exceptional restaurants, charming boutiques, art galleries, live performances, and the welcoming atmosphere that has made Highlands one of the Southeast's most beloved mountain destinations. From leisurely mornings exploring Main Street to afternoons on nearby hiking trails and evenings dining with friends, the Highlands lifestyle offers an exceptional balance of outdoor adventure and small-town sophistication. 85 Hillcrest Drive is more than a mountain home. It is an opportunity to embrace the natural beauty, tranquility, and authentic character of Horse Cove while enjoying the exceptional lifestyle that makes Highlands so special.

There is a particular kind of freedom in a home that asks nothing of you. 16A Willow View Drive, thoughtfully designed as one half of a two-unit building, sits inside a gated community just minutes to downtown Franklin. Positioned beautifully at the end of the road for maximum privacy, everything about this home is built for the part of life where the mountains are enjoyed rather than maintained. One story, no stairs anywhere, and a whole community to enjoy the outdoors. The kitchen opens to the living space, laundry is on the main level, and the attached garage lets you come in without ever standing in the rain. The living room runs the length of the home and opens to a screened porch facing the ridges. In winter, the mountains show through clearly. In summer, the porch stays shaded and cool, becoming the place for morning coffee and evening slowdowns. The split bedroom plan gives the primary suite its own side of the house with a walk-in closet, which matters when your favorite guests show up. What sets this one apart is what you will never have to do. You'll start with newly installed flooring and a fresh coat of interior paint throughout. In the past two years, the roof and the HVAC system have been replaced, and the parking area has been recently resurfaced. The POA maintains the lawn, grounds, home exterior, and ongoing parking area maintenance. Community water and public sewer mean no well and no septic. You can lock the door in October, spend two months elsewhere, and come back to a place that looks exactly the way you left it. The clubhouse and walking trails are there when you want them. For those who love to hit the links, you are also incredibly close to the Mill Creek Golf Course. Designed by renowned architect Bruce Devlin, this 18-hole, regulation-style resort course perfectly showcases the scenic mountain surroundings while offering a rewarding challenge for players of all skill levels. Beyond the greens, Franklin is 10 minutes away for groceries, the hospital, and the gem mines. The Nantahala, the Appalachian Trail at Standing Indian, and the whole western half of the Smokies open up from here. This is the mountain townhome for the people who came for the mountains, not for the yard work.
