About this home

Improved Price! This enchanting Cabin nestled in the trees overlooks a roaring stream and the storybook hamlet of Cattail Creek. The private 1/2 acre lot adjoins a 615 acre parcel to the south that is part of the 13,000+ acre conservation of Mount Mitchell State Park. Less than an hour drive from downtown Asheville and less than 20 minutes from downtown Burnsville, the property feels a world away from the stress of everyday life while maintaining modern needs w/ high speed fiber internet. The main cabin offers an open floorplan w/ vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, large living area with woodstove & natural stone surround, and a spacious kitchen & dining area w/ double doors to a large wraparound deck w/ mountain & creek views. The generous bedroom w/ ensuite bathroom opens onto a screened porch w/ sounds of the creek lulling you to sleep. The room allows for a king size bed, desk area and ample closet space. The lower level contains the laundry room and plenty of additional storage/workspace, etc. A stone path meanders from the cabin past covered wood storage to the Bunkhouse w/ it's own private deck, providing the perfect additional flex space for guests, office or studio space. This is a true oasis for nature lovers, immersed in the sounds of water and woods w/ plentiful hiking trails nearby.
