About this home

8+ Acres, Creek Frontage & a Log Cabin in the Woods If you've been looking for that classic mountain cabin tucked away in the woods--but still want plenty of usable extras--this one checks a lot of boxes. Set on 8.02 wooded acres with creek frontage, this adorable 2-bedroom, 2-bath log cabin sits up on a knoll surrounded by mature hardwoods and privacy. Inside, you'll find the warmth you expect from a true mountain cabin, with beautiful wood throughout, hardwood floors, a vaulted great room, stone fireplace and an open bonus loft that gives you extra space for an office, reading area, additional sleeping space or whatever fits your needs. But the outdoor living may be the best part. There are covered porches, open decks and a large patio area with a hot tub--plenty of places to sit back, listen to the woods and creek, entertain friends or spend an evening under the stars. And there is no shortage of room for your toys, hobbies and projects. The property includes a large workshop, detached garage and additional storage building, plus a fenced yard. With over eight acres to explore, creek frontage, great outdoor spaces and multiple outbuildings, this property offers much more than just a cabin. And while it feels wonderfully tucked away, you're still conveniently located for trips into Murphy, NC and Blairsville, GA. A great combination of privacy, acreage, water, outdoor living and usable space--all wrapped around a charming mountain log cabin.
