Franklin & Highlands, North Carolina (NC) Real Estate

Highlands Pass

Highlands Pass is a place where families can retreat from the stresses of every–day life in a magnificent private community surrounded by the Nantahala National Forest. Spread across 500 spectacular mountain acres, this gated community preserves the natural habitat and promotes the pleasures of high mountain living.

There are just 41 unique one to seven acre homesites featuring long range views of the Blue Ridge and Fish hawk Mountains from elevations up to 3,900 feet. Find your ideal home setting among the seven natural streams, waterfalls, ponds, parks, boulders and caves. The developer’s vision is to maintain the traditions of the land and create a heritage that you can pass on from generation to generation.

Homesites start from the low $200,000's to the mid $300,000's
