About the host

Hosted by Margaret Shutze

Welcome to Flat Mountain Farm, a historic rhododendron farm located 2 miles from the charming hamlet of Highlands, NC. Chris & Margaret Shutze moved to Highlands with their two young boys in December of 2019. They purchased the property from an eighth generation Highlander who had created a magical, rustic paradise over 40 years. Even though it was run down and in need of repair, they saw huge potential in the antique log cabins & barns.

This newly renovated 28-acre haven houses up to 27 between the three homes and hosts up to 200 guests for events. Margaret worked for international hospitality firms, Wilson Associates and RTKL, working on prestigious projects such as the Belmond Casa de Sierra Nevada, Boca Raton Resort and Club, A Waldorf Astoria Resort and Four Seasons Vail, while Chris has been creating specialty homes and custom furniture with award-winning architects for 20 years, including McApline, Travis & Travis and Wilson Associates.

Why they chose this property

After designing luxury hotels around the world, Margaret and Chris were ready to create their own micro-resort. The three homes on the property cater to guests seeking the elegance and high touch details of a luxury hotel within the confines of a private estate.

Their work has been featured in Architectural Digest, Interior Design magazine, Boutique Design Magazine, Hospitality Design Magazine, Country Living Magazine, Martha Stewart Weddings and more. Visit Shutze Studio for their extended portfolio.

“With this all-star duo at the helm, a retreat property complete with two cabins, barn, private lake and lawn has never felt so luxurious.”

- Plateau Magazine

What makes this property unique

Flat Mountain Farm is located 2.2 miles from town, about an 8 minute drive from Main Street in Highlands. The farm is 9 miles from Cashiers, about a 15 minute drive. It is a quick stroll down the street to local swimming hole, Pinky Falls and a quick drive up the street to Ranger Falls, a beautiful hike by a waterfall that ends at a large lake.

The Kingfisher cabin is nestled into the woods, next to a year round stream with rhododendrons, mountain laurel and has its own private pond, stocked with mountain trout. We provide fishing poles and you are welcome to eat any fish you catch.
