The Location: Rural Felicity is located in the Webbomnt area of Highlands, a flat, rural area with tons of tiny streets to meander down and take in the gorgeous mountain scenery. Walk to Lake Sequoia or On The Verandah for dinner or drinks. It’s just far enough from the beaten path that you will have privacy but close enough that dinner/shopping on Main Street is less than a few minute’s drive.
The Property: Rural Felicity is hidden from the road by a grove of thick rhododendrons, which are natural to Highlands. It is flat and easily accessible by cars. It has a circular driveway and 4WD is not necessary. There is a natural yard with a large porch with multiple seating areas and Adirondack chairs for enjoying a cup of coffee on a brisk morning.

The property features all wood walls, hardwood floors, an enclosed stone terrace with dining room and an additional seating area, and a bunk area for the littles. The living room also features a gas log fireplace.
