About This Home

As of October 2022

In a quiet, wooded neighborhood just minutes from Main Street Highlands, 26 Valentine Lane offers a fully furnished mid-century modern retreat that’s ready to enjoy—and already established as a vacation rental with an excellent rental history. Set on 1.65 acres, this unique property provides a peaceful mountain escape with tranquil ponds, a gentle stream, a firepit, and a few charming waterfalls woven into the landscape. A circular driveway welcomes you to the main residence with 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, plus a separate 1 bed, 1 bath guest house—perfect for hosting guests or generating rental income. Inside, warm and inviting spaces feature three wood-burning fireplaces that add cozy character to multiple rooms. The oversized eat-in kitchen is the heart of the home—ideal for gathering, cooking, or simply enjoying the serene views of the surrounding trees and the sound of flowing water. The large primary suite includes its own private office area, a spacious walk-in double closet, and an expansive master bathroom designed for comfort and relaxation. A second bedroom on the main floor is perfect for older guests, while two upstairs bedrooms offer privacy. The terrace level features a comfortable family room, sleeping area, and full bath, with direct access to the beautiful gardens. Outdoors, the fenced yard offers space to garden, play, or let pets roam safely. A generator ensures peace of mind year-round, and the two-car garage provides ample storage. Less than five minutes (2.5 miles) from Highlands’ charming shops, restaurants, and events, this home blends seclusion with convenience. Whether enjoying your morning coffee on the deck, hosting friends in the guest house, or welcoming vacation guests, 26 Valentine Lane is your turnkey mountain getaway.
