About 274 Highland Circle
Experience mountain living at its finest in this beautiful 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath custom home with office space offering breathtaking, unobstructed views of Grandfather Mountain. The open-concept floor plan and main-level living make this home as functional as it is inviting. Step inside to an expansive great room with floor-to-ceiling windows that perfectly frame the panoramic vistas. A striking stone, wood-burning fireplace anchors the space, complemented by cathedral ceilings, walnut beams, and gleaming hardwood floors throughout. The gourmet kitchen features granite countertops, stainless-steel appliances including a gas range, and exquisite Amish-crafted solid cherry cabinetry, along with a brand-new refrigerator. The spacious primary suite includes an oversized walk-in closet and a luxurious en-suite bath with dual sinks, a jetted tub, and a separate glass shower. The lower level offers two additional bedrooms, a full bath, an office (or optional fourth sleeping area), and a large bonus room ideal for a recreation space, studio, or workshop. This property adjoins a 14-acre conservancy, ensuring lasting privacy and that your spectacular views remain unobstructed for years to come. Note: The home was impacted by Hurricane Helene. Damage included the loss of the rear deck and exposure of the foundation. A certified engineer has evaluated the foundation and poured a new concrete footer as of 7/16/2025 (Report Available). It is recommended that any interested party contact an engineer independently further evaluate the home and foundation. This presents an excellent opportunity to rebuild a new, expansive deck to enhance the view and add instant equity. A true investment opportunity in one of Sugar Mountain’s most desirable locations
