Lookout Highlands is a 1500-acre gated community. The development was started in 1988 by Lookout Atlantis LLC, on property acquired from a timber and mining company. Roads, lakes, and subdivided lots were developed, while retaining much of the woods, wilderness and natural beauty of the land, creating a unique type of development. The first lots were sold in 1992 and the first houses built in 1993. From those beginnings, Lookout Highlands has grown to encompass a total of 175 lots and 600 acres of common property. Currently, about 76 families are either full or part-time residents.

To ensure that the quality of life in Lookout Highlands is protected now and for years to come, the Association has developed usage guidelines for the common area amenities.
