Just five minutes from downtown Highlands, "Mossy Landing" offers the rare balance of convenience and privacy — tucked within over an acre of lush forest in the sought-after Mountain Laurel neighborhood. This 1980s contemporary home was thoughtfully designed for both entertaining and everyday mountain living, with soaring ceilings, skylights, expansive decking, and warm architectural character throughout. Natural light pours through the entryway, casting beautiful shadows across the home's subtle level changes and inviting living spaces. At the heart of the home, a sunken gathering room currently used as a dining space creates an intimate centerpiece surrounded by windows and woodland views. Nearby, the welcoming den features a brick fireplace, wet bar, and direct access to a sprawling deck overlooking the forest canopy. The kitchen was designed with both function and gathering in mind, featuring two islands, generous cabinetry, built-in desk space, an eat-in area, and access to multiple outdoor living spaces. A glass-enclosed window box softly illuminates the room, while the adjacent sunroom offers a peaceful place to overlook the mossy landscape and native flora. The main-level primary suite provides convenience and comfort with a spacious ensuite bath featuring double vanities. A charming library with floor-to-ceiling built-ins and a window seat designed for birdwatching adds yet another inviting retreat within the home. Upstairs, a cozy landing nook overlooks the dramatic entry below. An additional ensuite bedroom offers a large walk-in closet and double vanities, while two guest bedrooms share a hall bath. A bonus room currently serves as additional sleeping quarters, offering flexibility for guests, office space, or hobbies. With multiple outdoor entertaining areas, abundant storage, a two-car garage, and ample parking, 40 Moonbeam is a generously sized mountain retreat that feels both connected and secluded — offering the ease of neighborhood living while still feeling worlds away.
