bhhsmeadowsmountainrealty Congratulations to the Highlands School Class of 2026! Each year, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Meadows Mountain Realty is proud to present the Leland and Bessie Speed Scholarship, a $5,000 annual scholarship awarded to a deserving local student planning to enter the workforce in the housing industry. This year’s recipient is Isaiah Vilardo, who will be continuing his education in trade school for welding. As Tricia Cox, our Vice President and Broker-in-Charge, shared: “We’ve always believed that being part of this community means more than selling real estate. Every year, we award the Leland and Bessie Speed Scholarship to help a local student build their future, right here in the mountains we love.” We are proud to support Isaiah as he takes this next step, and we are grateful for the opportunity to invest in the next generation of talent on the Plateau. Congratulations, Isaiah, and congratulations to all of this year’s graduates.

bhhsmeadowsmountainrealty Our mountain communities are home to more than beautiful views. They are home to wildlife, too. This mama bear and her 3 cubs were spotted crossing near @highlandsfallscc a good reminder that living on the Plateau means knowing how to respect the land and the animals that share it. A few quick BearWise tips: 📏 Keep your distance. Never approach a bear, especially a mother with cubs. 🚫 Do not run. Back away slowly and calmly. Secure trash, pet food, bird feeders, and outdoor grills. 🐻 Give bears room to move through. Most are simply passing by.

bhhsmeadowsmountainrealty Congratulations to @johnhbynum on earning the Honor Society Award for 2025, placing him among the top 17% of all agents in the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices national network. John has one of the most memorable origin stories in this market: a Marine, a former Department of Defense contractor, and the man who opened Cigars of Cashiers after falling in love with this area on a vacation in 1996 and deciding to stay. He has been a year-round, full-time Realtor on the Highlands-Cashiers Plateau ever since, turning clients into loyal friends with his honest, no-nonsense approach and genuine commitment to their goals. Cashiers got lucky when John came through on that vacation. Congratulations, John. #JohnBynum #HonorSociety #BerkshireHathawayHomeServices #MeadowsMountainRealty #LuxuryRealEstate

bhhsmeadowsmountainrealty Charming, accessible, and completely unrestricted. This 2018 mountain retreat just outside Highlands checks boxes most properties in this area simply can't. No zoning means no limits on how you use it. Primary home, second home, short-term rental, or all three at different points in life. That kind of flexibility this close to downtown Highlands doesn't come around often. ✦ No restrictions. Real flexibility. Just outside city limits with no zoning, use it as a primary home, second home, or short-term rental. Near Highlands, that last one is significant. ✦ Thoughtfully accessible. Handicap accessible on the main level without sacrificing style. Rare in a mountain home. ✦ Built right. 2018 construction with 2x6 framing, foam insulation, and an encapsulated crawlspace. Year-round comfort at elevation. ✦ Firepit with a recirculating water feature. Not a cheap add-on. A genuine outdoor living moment. Come see it in person. Open House this Wednesday, May 13th from 3 to 6 PM at 400 Cole Mountain Circle, Highlands, NC. Reach out to @johnhbynum for more details.

bhhsmeadowsmountainrealty Tucked beneath Little Sheepcliff's dramatic rock face in Cashiers, North Carolina's coveted Cedar Ridge Estates, this single-level residence sits above 3,700 feet elevation. Cool summers, crisp mountain air, and views that never get old. And that's just the outside. Three jewels worth the drive up: ✦ A kitchen that means it. Dual islands, a copper range hood, 48" six-burner range, and Sub-Zero fridge. This isn't staging. It's how someone actually cooks. ✦ A floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace that stops every first-time visitor cold. The kind of feature that makes a room feel carved out of the mountain itself. ✦ It's not a house. It's a compound. Main residence, attached guest cottage, and above-garage living space on 3 private, level acres. Room for everyone, with enough separation that no one's in each other's way. 3 beds · 4.5 baths · 5 min to Cashiers crossroads Swipe to see why this one's different. Then reach out. Showings are going fast. 🔗 Link in bio.

bhhsmeadowsmountainrealty Highlands shows up for each other. Yesterday evening’s Highlands Community Dinner was a reminder of what makes this community so special: good food, familiar faces, new conversations, and neighbors taking care of neighbors. We were proud to sponsor this meaningful evening and grateful to see so many smiling faces gathered together. A special thank you to the Counseling Center of Highlands for organizing the event and for the important work they continue to do for our community. We’d also like to recognize our very own @iamkarahardy a broker with our firm, who serves on the Counseling Center’s board and gives her time in service to this mission. Join us on May 14 for “A Night to Bee Kind” Rotary Bingo, benefiting the Counseling Center of Highlands. Their work helps provide accessible mental health resources, counseling, and support for individuals and families across our community. Community is one of the greatest parts of life on the Plateau, and evenings like this make that clear. #HighlandsNC #HighlandsCommunity #CounselingCenterOfHighlands #BHHSMeadowsMountainRealty #CommunityMatters
