Tucked away on four breathtaking acres just a short walk from downtown Highlands North Carolina, this exceptional estate is a rare blend of historic legacy and refined mountain luxury. Once part of the famed 30,000-acre Ravenel holdings of Charleston, SC, the property dates back over a century and has quietly witnessed generations of memories made beneath towering trees. Built circa 1922 by the Evins family and lovingly cared for by just four owners in 123 years, the estate has been masterfully restored by renowned builder John Underwood and reimagined by architect Sam Edgens for modern living. A gated entrance and laurel-lined drive lead to a stunning three-story mountain colonial offering approx. 6,500 sq ft. Inside, original oak and antique chestnut floors-harvested from the land-massive stone fireplaces, handcrafted millwork, and more than 60 windows showcase timeless craftsmanship. In-floor hydronic heating on the first and second floors offers year-round comfort. The chef's kitchen, complete with fireplace, is ideal for casual mornings or elegant entertaining. Spa-inspired baths, generous gathering spaces, and timeless finishes complete the interior. The third floor is a flexible haven for a bunkroom, media space, or studio. Outdoor living is extraordinary, featuring both open and covered stone patios, including one with a 4-foot Rumford-style fireplace perfect for dining al fresco or relaxing under the stars. A generator with dedicated propane tank ensures peace of mind. A beautifully updated guest cottage features wide-plank floors, exposed beams, and a cozy stone fireplace. Additional accommodations above the detached garage make it perfect for guests or a caretaker. The grounds are an enchanting sanctuary, with a sparkling heated pool, in-ground spa, and an activity barn featuring an autobelay climbing wall, exercise equipment, a 30-ft batting cage (or add a golf simulator), and bike rack. Trails and century-old stone walls wind through gardens of rhododendrons, azaleas, and hydrangeas, while expansive lawns invite play and relaxation. Just steps away, the Rhododendron Trail offers direct access to Ravenel Lake, the Highlands Nature Center, Sunset Rock, and the heart of town. Peaceful and private, yet close to everything-this is not just a home, but a legacy, beautifully preserved and ready for its next chapter.
