Highlands, Aspen of the East
In the past several years, Highlands has been affectionately termed by many as the “Aspen of the East.” With its cool mountain air, rich cultural offerings, and vibrant sense of community, it’s no surprise that Travel & Leisure magazine named Highlands “America’s Best Small Mountain Town” in 2023. The Highlands Plateau continues to capture the attention of discerning buyers who seek not just a home, but a complete lifestyle experience. As in Aspen, premier home locations on the Plateau are considered some of the most highly sought-after and tightly held real estate assets in the region.
Consider the trajectory of homeowners who invested early in Aspen’s last major residential offerings. Their properties are now among the most valuable in the country, driven by the town’s scarcity of available homes, its world-renowned appeal, and its breathtaking mountain environment. Highlands mirrors many of these same attributes — pristine surroundings, limited opportunities for new development, and a growing national recognition — all of which position Sanctuary On 1st as a compelling opportunity for both lifestyle enjoyment and long-term value growth.
Both Sanctuary On 1st and The Sanctuary at Whiteside Cove exemplify the rare chance to own properties that are thoughtfully designed, exceptionally located, and poised for appreciation in an increasingly coveted destination. Sanctuary On 1st, together with The Sanctuary at Whiteside Cove, reflects a new era of elevated living in Highlands — where extraordinary homes, natural beauty, and lasting value meet in perfect balance.
A Sanctuary for Everyone?
Sanctuary On 1st has an obvious appeal to clients desiring easy access to the many city conveniences including shopping, restaurants and entertainment. Many great outdoor locations for scenery, hiking, fishing and golf are easily accessed from the development.
