Known affectionately as “Tucked Inn,” 131 Big Creek Lane is a rare creekfront retreat located just minutes from Highlands’ shops and restaurants. The home is arranged for comfortable living and entertaining: enter into a vaulted great room anchored by a dramatic stone wood-burning fireplace and a custom iron chandelier. Shiplap walls, built-in bookcases and wide-plank hardwood floors give the main living spaces warmth and character, while thoughtful designer draperies and tailored bedding reflect the property’s turnkey presentation.
Step from the great room onto a generous screened porch that features a second fireplace and motorized roll-down panels — a season-extension feature that makes the porch usable most of the year. A deck and dedicated grilling area adjoin the porch for easy al fresco meals. The kitchen opens visually to the front yard and to the porch through a pass-through window — ideal for casual serving and social flow. The primary suite is conveniently located on the main floor with en-suite bath and easy access to the main living areas.
Upstairs, a flexible loft/sitting area with built-in bookcases separates two private bedroom suites, each providing privacy for family or guests. Outside, landscaped terraces and garden areas with winding trails step down through rhododendron to the creek; multiple seating platforms allow you to enjoy the sound of the waterfall and the creek’s year-round presence. A garden shed and maintained trails add practical and recreational value to the property.
This home has an excellent documented rental history and — per seller notes — no short-term rental restrictions. Its combination of creek frontage, proximity to town, and high-quality finishes make it attractive as a primary residence, second home, or investment property. Showings by appointment.
