Description

Imagine a life where each morning begins with a short walk from your front gate across the street to the trail leading directly into the heart of Highlands. Here, daily life balances effortless access to vibrant mountain living with the calm privacy of a wooded sanctuary. Set on four remarkable acres just moments from town, this estate is more than a beautiful home—it is part of Highlands’ enduring story. The property traces its origins to the early influence of the Ravenel family of Charleston, whose extensive landholdings helped shape the Plateau. Today, these acres carry forward that legacy, offering a rare sense of continuity and place. Built circa 1922 by the Evins family and thoughtfully restored by builder John Underwood with design by architect Sam Edgens, the home honors its history while living comfortably for today. A gated entrance and laurel-lined drive lead to an elegant three-story mountain colonial of approximately 6, 500 square feet. Inside, original oak and antique chestnut floor harvested from the land, massive stone fireplaces, handcrafted millwork, and more than 60 windows create a sense of warmth and scale. In-floor hydronic heating on the first and second levels ensures year-round comfort. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen with its own fireplace invites both casual mornings and refined entertaining. Spa-inspired baths, generous gathering spaces, and flexible third-floor rooms suited for bunkrooms, media, or studio use make it ideal for everyday living as well as hosting family and guests. Outdoor living is equally compelling. Stone patios, both open and covered, include a four-foot Rumford-style fireplace for evenings under the stars. A heated pool and in-ground spa are surrounded by rhododendrons, azaleas, and hydrangeas, while an activity barn with climbing wall, fitness space, and room for a golf simulator offers year-round enjoyment. Trails, century-old stone walls, and expansive lawns create a setting for both recreation and quiet reflection. A full-house generator adds peace of mind. A beautifu guest cottage, along with additional accommodations above the detached garage, makes hosting effortless. Just beyond the property, the Rhododendron Trail connects to Ravenel Lake, Sunset Rock, the Highlands Nature Center, and the shops and restaurants of town. This is a legacy property—private, connected, and ready for its next chapter.
