Welcome to the remarkable

Perched on the plateau above Highlands, this residence — known in the architectural press as The Caretaker House — is a rare union of hand-wrought materials and modern geometry: reclaimed timbers and antique plank doors, native fieldstone, wide-plank oak, and glass choreographed with the roof lines, including corner glazing that reads almost like sculpture in the trees. For the buyer who values irreplaceable provenance, the home is documented in Fine Homebuilding (1988) and Ed Knapp’s The New Old House — and has drawn fresh national attention through the Charlotte Observer and Zillow Gone Wild. Hand-selected reclaimed lumber, stair and window walls that choreograph daylight, native stone at the heart of the plan, and exterior cedar (including artisan roof and wall shingles) that weathers into a silvered patina against the forest. Elevated living on approximately 1.52 acres with layered views, woodland context, and the hush that comes with true mountain land — close enough to Main Street for dinner, far enough to feel like your own Satulah ridgeline retreat.
