Views! Views! Views! at Bella Vista

--NEW Summer room and upgrades to the back deck & bathrooms were completed in 2023!!--

Just outside of the town of Highlands but only a 10 minute drive to downtown, with views all the way to Tennessee. At almost 4,200 ft, summer temperatures are as much as 20 degrees cooler than lower elevations.
All roads are paved and there are no steep inclines. Your backyard is the Nantahala National Forest.
The beautiful valley that stretches between this home and the Blue Ridge Mountains of Tennessee funnels breezes and birdsongs right up to the house.
Lots of outdoor lounging and dining on your spacious deck that blends into the natural surroundings. With soaring 20ft ceilings and floor to ceiling windows, the views from inside are just as spectacular.
Open the windows (or use central heat or air), light a fire and relax.
This home has a large indoor wood burning fireplace. This super quiet home is the last house at the end of the street atop Flat Mountain.
Disconnect from the world when you want to in this peaceful haven and when you need to connect, do so via high speed fiberoptic internet, digital cable TV, Direct TV (wired and ready for your box from home) and a strong cellular signal thanks to a commercial grade cell signal booster. Living room has a 65 inch smart tv and blue ray player. All bedrooms have 40 inch smart TVs. All are connected to internet and have free access to Netflix included, digital cable and Direct TV Satellite dish (bring your DTV boxes).

The house is open concept, only divided by the huge stone fireplace between the kitchen and living room.
The kitchen has nearly 20ft ceilings and floor to ceiling windows. It also has high top table for 4 and 3 barstools at the island. Plenty of cabinet space in the kitchen and the huge pantry just behind the kitchen.
The dining room which is open to the living room and the big view out back seats 8.
Games, playing cards and puzzles abound ready to create cherished memories with family and friends.
Outside amenities include a large circular drive with covered parking for two large vehicles. The back yard is reasonably flat before eventually dropping off. Trees close to the house are expertly trimmed to provide a canopy that keeps you cool and part of the forest with lower limbs removed to provide the amazing views.
A new whole house generator was added in 2021.
