57 Jackson Drive lot: 3, Highlands, NC 28741

New construction in Applewood Farms, a boutique 15-homesite community near Mirror Lake and close to Main Street Highlands. This single-level contemporary Craftsman offers 3 bedrooms and 3 baths with wide hallways, vaulted ceilings with beam accents, and thoughtful storage throughout.

The kitchen features a large island, a generous pantry, and opens directly to the living and dining areas. A stone fireplace with gas logs anchors the living room, while the large back porch extends the living space outdoors. The primary suite has its own screened porch, walk-in shower, and custom closet.

A bonus mudroom, laundry room with sink, and two-car garage add practical space that is often hard to find in a mountain home. Board-and-batten siding, extensive stonework, and established landscaping give the exterior a finished look, with plenty of parking and room to turn around. At roughly 4,000 feet in elevation, Applewood Farms offers cool summers and mild temperatures year-round. No short-term rental restrictions make this a flexible option for full-time living, a second home, or rental use.
