Just a short walk or quick drive from downtown, the home offers the perfect balance of privacy and convenience in the heart of Highlands, often called the Carmel of the South for its idyllic small-town charm reminiscent of a Norman Rockwell painting. Bear Mor offers more than just a home — it’s a lifestyle. Enjoy access to a large neighborhood common area and a firepit, ideal for gatherings or for a beautiful view of the sunset. The community is steps from the Highlands Greenway Trail, which winds through nature and leads to the enchanting Highlands Biological Lake. Also nearby is the Highlands Recreational Park, featuring a covered swimming pool, tennis and pickleball courts, and a year-round fitness center. This newly completed home features an open floor plan with soaring 14-foot ceilings in the great room. Sliding multi-panel doors open to a covered deck with its own fireplace, built-in grill, and entertainment area — perfect for year-round indoor-outdoor living. The kitchen showcases custom cabinetry, elegant countertops, a large island, designer lighting, and top-tier appliances. A spacious dining area off the kitchen offers a cozy space for guests to relax and stay connected to the conversation. The main level includes a generous office/study and a luxurious primary suite with multiple walk-in closets and a spa-like bathroom. Upstairs, you’ll find two guest suites, an area for a bunk room, and a common lounge area. A large unfinished space that can be built out as a private en-suite, home theater, playroom, or additional living area. Enjoy the best of Highlands — fine dining, boutique shopping, and cultural entertainment — all without ever needing to get in your car.
