Satulah Ridge is a residential subdivision on the slopes of Satulah Mountain, just minutes from downtown Highlands. From Main Street, the neighborhood is reached by way of Leonard and Wilson Roads, and homes climb from near town to elevations of about 4,340 feet at the top of the ridge, where many enjoy long mountain views. Lower in the neighborhood, some homes are a short walk from Main Street's restaurants, shops, and churches.
Satulah Mountain is one of Highlands' best-known landmarks. On its slopes, the Satulah Mountain Historic District, added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1995, covers 188 acres of homes built mostly in the early 1900s, with Craftsman, Four-Square, and rustic log and fieldstone designs by architects including local builder Joe Webb.
The trail to Satulah's summit began as a road built in 1890 by Captain Prioleau Ravenel Sr. to open the mountain to the public. From the 1920s to the 1970s, the U.S. Forest Service used the summit to watch for fires, with a fire tower standing there into the 1950s. Today the old road is a foot trail, rebuilt in 2017 and 2018 by the Highlands-Cashiers Land Trust and the Highlands Plateau Greenway.
Sunset Rock, Harris Lake, and the Highlands Biological Station are all a few minutes from the neighborhood, along with everything downtown Highlands has to offer.
Homes range from one-level cottages on lots of about a third of an acre near the base of the ridge to view homes on lots of more than an acre and a half near the top. There is no club membership, and the neighborhood's location puts it among the closest established communities to downtown Highlands.
