THIS LOVELY HOME, IN A GATED COMMUNITY, WAS BUILT IN 2007. IT FEATURES 4 FIREPLACES AND 7 BEDROOMS. ALSO FEATURES SANITARY SEWER. THIS MAY NOT SOUND LIKE A SELLABLE "FEATURE". HOWEVER, MOST HOMES IN THE CASHIERS-HIGHLANDS AREA ARE ON SEPTIC TANKS, WHICH CREATE MAINENANCE CHALLENGES AND ALSO LIMIT THE NUMBER OF BEDROOMS AND BATHS A HOUSE CAN HAVE. ON THE MAIN FLOOR (AT STREET LEVEL---ONE STEP ABOVE DRIVEWAY) IS--- THE MASTER BEDROOM, 17' X 12'. OFF THE MASTER BDR IS A MASTER BATH WITH VANITY WITH TWO BOWLS; A WHIRLPOOL TUB (6' X 3'); A SEPARATE SHOWER (4'X 3'); A TOILET IN IT'S OWN ROOM; A WALK IN CLOSET OFF THE MASTER BATH. ALSO OFF THE MASTER BDR IS A 8'X 8' PRIVATE PORCH WITH A FIREPLACE. ALSO OFF THE MASTER BDR IS ACCESS TO THE REAR DECK.

AS OF NOW, THE REAR OF THE HOUSE FACES OUT ONTO 1400 ACRES OF WOODLAND. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THERE ARE NO IMMEDIATE PLANS TO DEVELOP THIS PROPERTY. IN FACT, AT PRESENT, THERE IS A MORITORIUM ON DEVELOPMENT IN JACKSON COUNTY. SO THIS HOME HAS PLENTY OF PRIVACY WITH THE SECURITY OF LOCKED ENTRANCE GATES AND CLOSE NEIGHBORS. THIS HOME IS EASILY ACCESSABLE BEING 4.5 MILES EAST OF CASHIERS, NC JUST OFF HWY 64. IT IS IN A RELATIVELY SMALL NEIGHBORHOOD +/- 50 HOMES.
