It's called Forest Trail for a reason. Surrounding the prestigious Cold Springs Saddle & Tennis Club — and this residence — are national forest, hiking trails, a well-stocked trout stream and lake, plus the pristine horse pastures. Beyond the trees stands the crown jewel of the community — a home reimagined through a comprehensive, designer-led renovation. Light pours through fresh, open rooms dressed in curated, high-end finishes: wide-plank white oak floors, honed soapstone, crisp white shiplap, and beamed ceilings, all in a palette that feels warm, current, and quietly luxurious. Outside, an equally tasteful landscape plan — quintessentially "Highlands Style" — blends into the sloping terrain, which gives way to a rare, large flat backyard set just off the home's two expansive covered balconies. With generous living space that flows effortlessly from hearth to covered deck, this home lives as beautifully as it looks — across two full levels, inside and out. The main level is a true retreat: a stone fireplace, a chef's galley kitchen with custom banquette, dining for twelve if needed, an open family room, a double garage, a full covered deck, guest quarters, and a serene primary suite. The bright, airy lower level opens with a grand club room — big enough for a full media lounge and a pool table — that spills onto a large lower-level balcony and out to the backyard for a game of croquet, plus another large bedroom and a bonus flex room or easily transformed into an optional 4th bedroom. Furniture does not convey, however; it is negotiable. Walk to the canoe and kayak dock, fly fish from the island, keep your horses on-site in a private stable, and experience quietude like never before — all just ten minutes and under three miles from downtown Highlands.

FOX DEN is a rare opportunity to own a work of legacy modernism in the mountains. One of Jim Fox’s most celebrated designs, it has been meticulously re-envisioned through a $1.5M+ renovation. This is a sculptural residence perched at 4,100 feet on Satulah Mountain, inside the town limits of Highlands. Fox’s dramatic structural concept of four intersecting planes creates a dynamic interplay of geometry, light, and shadow. Walls of glass capture long range vistas of Whiteside, Chimneytop, and Terrapin Mountains, transforming the home into a living observatory of the Blue Ridge landscape. Every system, surface, and finish has been renewed with reverence for the original architecture and an eye toward elevated mountain luxury. The main level is a flowing modernist plan uniting the living, dining, kitchen, and terrace. It includes an organic stacked stone fireplace; custom kitchen with Bosch and Fisher & Paykel paneled appliances; Caesarstone surfaces & Rohl fixtures and sleek cabinetry illuminated by skylights. This level embodies the essence of modern design: sculptural lines, natural materials, and an effortless connection to the outdoors. The upper level is a private retreat framed by triangular windows overlooking the forest canopy. In addition to the bedroom there is a dedicated office/studio space, walk-in closet, loft area and heated marble floors in the bath. It’s a serene, architectural escape designed for reflection, creativity, and quiet luxury. The lower-level centers around a lounge anchored by a mid century Brutalist fireplace and dry bar. Three generous guest suites each offer newly renovated en suite baths and private decks with forest and mountain views. The expansive lower deck reveals the home’s cantilevered diamond form structure, a breathtaking example of Fox’s engineering artistry. It serves as a dramatic outdoor venue for cooking, dining, and fireside evenings. FOX DEN has been featured in multiple books and Fine Homebuilding Magazine, recognized for its bold geometry and modernist innovation. Highlands, NC was named America’s Best Small Mountain Town by Travel & Leisure (2023) providing an exceptional setting for a home of this caliber. This is more than a residence. It is a collectable architectural treasure, a luxury mountain retreat with pedigree, provenance, and soul—ready for its next steward.
