About this home

Step back in time with this charming 1923 log cabin, tucked into a peaceful cove in the mountains of Western North Carolina. Constructed with durable locust logs, this distinctive home is a wonderful example of traditional Appalachian craftsmanship, a style of construction increasingly difficult to find. At 626 square feet, the one-bedroom, one-bathroom cabin offers a cozy and manageable living space, with an updated interior that blends modern conveniences with historic character. The original log construction and stone foundation have stood the test of time, and the home appears to have been well maintained throughout the years. Enjoy refreshing mountain breezes and picturesque mountain views across neighboring farmland. The property consists of two parcels totaling approximately 0.84 acres, including an additional parcel accommodating the permitted septic system. Whether you're looking for a mountain getaway, a full-time residence, or simply a special piece of Appalachian history, this little cabin offers an uncommon opportunity to own something truly distinctive.
