About this property

A Remarkable Mountain Retreat in Historic Horse Cove Discover 85 Hillcrest Drive, a beautifully renovated mountain retreat on approximately 3.58 acres in Highlands' historic Horse Cove. Originally a barn, the residence underwent an extensive renovation taken down to the studs. Updated electrical and plumbing systems, windows, and roof blend its distinctive origins with modern comfort. The home's remarkable transformation earned a feature in The Laurel Magazine. Inviting living spaces accommodate relaxing and entertaining, with every bedroom featuring its own ensuite bathroom. An additional bonus room offers flexibility for extra sleeping space, recreation, or a home office. A whole-house water filtration system and generator provide added convenience. Nature is part of everyday life here. Approximately three-quarters of a mile of private walking trails wind through the property, following a beautiful stream. Mature trees, native mountain vegetation, and an apple and pear orchard enhance the landscape. Enjoy a morning walk beside the rushing water, gather around the fire pit beneath the stars, tend the garden, or simply unwind to the soothing sounds of the stream. The property's generous acreage creates room to explore, garden, and enjoy the outdoors at your own pace. From the orchard's seasonal fruit to the stream's soothing sounds, thoughtful details throughout the landscape make this mountain retreat as memorable outside as it is within. Horse Cove's winding country roads, historic homesteads, flowing streams, and mountain scenery preserve its distinctive character. Nearby waterfalls and hiking trails invite outdoor exploration, while downtown Highlands offers acclaimed restaurants, boutiques, art galleries, live performances, and golf. Enjoy the balance of a peaceful mountain setting and convenient access to the area's dining, shopping, and cultural attractions. Whether entertaining guests, exploring the trails, or enjoying a quiet evening by the stream, this property offers a distinctive way to experience mountain living. 85 Hillcrest Drive brings together a remarkable piece of Highlands history, extensive renovations, modern amenities, and a beautiful natural setting. Discover the character of Horse Cove and the enduring appeal of the Highlands lifestyle. A truly distinctive property where mountain history, modern comfort, and the beauty of flowing water meet.
