 Highlands North Carolina Homes
Located around two hours north of Atlanta and roughly the same distance south of Knoxville, the town of Highlands has served as a place of retreat for many Southerners throughout the course of its history. Cool, peaceful, beautiful, Highlands goes down like a refreshing drink on a hot summer day - and when you come from Atlanta, you know how hot a summer day can get.
The town was founded in 1875 by two Kansas developers who, legend says, drew lines on the map from Chicago to Savannah and New Orleans to New York and predicted the lines' crossroads to become a major economic center. While their x-marks-the-spot prediction hasn't exactly come true - Highlands has less than a thousand year-round residents and no big businesses - no one here is disappointed with what the town turned out to be instead.
Highlands, which lies approximately 4,118 feet above sea level, lies surrounded by national forestland. Outdoor activities in the area are virtually endless, running the gamut from hiking and camping to fly fishing and white-water rafting. The town itself offers a host of attractions, including an array of shops, inns, and restaurants, a number of which are recipients of Wine Spectator magazine's prestigious Restaurant Awards.
