About 711 Flat Mountain Road
Hemlock Hill – designed by renowned modernist architect, James Howard Fox (1939-2017) and constructed in 1985 (photography by the architect’s grandson, Ryan Karcher). This home features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a unique design, custom woodwork and a private setting on over 3 acres just minutes from Highlands’ town center. In 2023, this property was carefully and respectfully updated while preserving the original character and architect’s vision. This property offers a unique blend of privacy, acreage to expand, proximity to town and the creative legacy of one of the nation’s premier modernist architects. Whether you are looking for a private retreat, an income property or both, Hemlock Hill awaits. The recent updates and native landscaping ensure that Hemlock Hill will be a low-maintenance investment for years to come. Highlands NC was selected by Travel & Leisure as “America’s Best Small Mountain Town” in 2023 and Outside magazine ranked Highlands as one of its top ten small adventure towns in the world for 2026.
