Behind the iconic hand-crafted periwinkle gates of Bluescape, where the Blue Ridge Mountains meet the sky and three states unfold before you, stands an extraordinary artist's sanctuary unlike anything else on the market. Upon your arrival, a bridge carries you directly toward the main level as you catch a sweeping glimpse of a lower garden where a dancing girl fountain in mid twirl catches the light amidst a private sitting area. Open the door and let your eyes feast on a view so stunning, “wow” is the only word that comes to mind. Every room dramatically captures the private majesty of 17,000 acres of national forest. Even in the kitchen, one sink faces the mountains while another faces the dramatic open living and dining spaces-filled with curated artwork. And every bedroom is served by its own full private en-suite, each with its own view of the mountains and sky. Outside, a commissioned sculpture, a life-size rearing unicorn, presides over terraced gardens visible from both decks of this architecturally distinctive, contemporary mountain property. And a large deck spa invites you to further celebrate the breathtaking views. But there's more. A hidden garden sanctuary-pond, gazebo, benches, swings, streams and grounds reveal themselves only as you explore these amazing six and a half private acres facing 17,000 acres of pristine forest, mountains and sky. This is not simply a home. It is a complete world.

Highlands has its share of log cabins, but only a small fraction of those sit in town. 472 Chestnut Street is one. Built well before the 1960s by one of the region's most celebrated cabin builders, the home has been lived in, looked after, and now thoughtfully brought forward without losing what made it remarkable in the first place. The logs have been refreshed and have been made quietly, in service of the original. Inside, the renovation reads through materials rather than gestures. The kitchen is anchored by reclaimed barnwood and an imported Italian 6-burner stove, with a custom built-in refrigerator, deep pantry storage, and finishes chosen to age well. The main ensuite is layered - limestone accent walls, black granite, unlacquered brass fittings, an oversized soaking tub, and a tiled shower featuring hand-made Moroccan tile with a locally crafted trout inlay. Two additional ensuite bedrooms upstairs carry the same considered hand, with imported tile and limestone floors. Throughout the main cabin: hand-hewn beams overhead, tongue-and-groove ceilings, original wide-board white oak floors that have earned their patina, and a hand-laid stone fireplace at the heart of the great room. A covered breezeway leads to a separate guest house with a main-floor living area and an upper bunk room - both finished in the same spirit. In total, the property offers four bedrooms and five baths across both structures. Out back, a firepit sits in a curated garden setting, with Satulah Mountain framed beyond. The practical layer holds up: metal roof, public water and sewer, fiber optic available, and a 0.43-acre level-to-rolling city lot. 472 Chestnut Street is a rare opportunity to own a genuine Joe Webb cabin in one of the most prized in-town settings on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau.
