About this home

MAJOR PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Been looking for a classic mountain log cabin without the maintenance? Wanting a getaway that's still convenient to town, a gorgeous lake and two of NC's best cities? Well, you found it. This one-owner, well-maintained rustic charmer has so much to love: a brand new roof, 3 large bedrooms each with their own attached bath, a stunning floor-to-ceiling gas fireplace, decks all around, 4-inch oak floors, custom molding and trim throughout, stainless steel appliances, Corian countertops and a huge detached garage complete with its own finished (no HVAC currently) space above the parking area. Use it as a workout room, abundant storage, art studio, additional guest quarters - so many possibilities. Need a primary home? The convenience to I-40, Lake James and its state park, the town of Marion and the amazing cities of Asheville (45 min) and Charlotte (90 minutes) make that totally feasible. Need a vacation home that helps pay for itself? She can do that too! Short-term rentals (AirBNB & VRBO) are allowed! Tucked just inside a lovely small gated community, enjoy the benefits of security, a community pool and friendly neighbors all with low HOA fees. A solid, warm and inviting property, she is move-in ready. Bring your own warmth and love - and let's make her a home again. NOTE: this home faces a two-lane rural road/highway; it is visible from the home.
