About this home

Welcome to one of Burnsville's hidden gems-a breathtaking mountain retreat nestled in a quiet, private community where opportunities to own are few and far between. Here you are investing in a lifestyle-a lifestyle where mornings begin with coffee on the expansive deck as layers of blue mountains emerge from the morning mist. Situated on an acre and surrounded by the beauty of Western Carolina, this sweet town is surrounded by the highest peaks in eastern America, including Mt Mitchell. This stunning stone and log cabin offers over 2000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space and as a bonus, a 561 square foot garage. From the moment you arrive, you will see what makes this property so special. Soaring vaulted wood ceilings create a dramatic and inviting atmosphere, successfully blending rustic mountain charm with elegance. The beautiful up-to-date kitchen has ample space to prepare meals. The true showstopper, is the outdoor living space. Intentionally oversized upper and lower decks frame tranquil long range mountain views that stretch endlessly into the horizon. Whether you are enjoying your morning coffee as the sun rises over the peaks or unwinding beneath a canopy of stars, every moment here feels extraordinary. Offering 2 bedrooms per the septic permit, the basement space could be a perfect third bedroom or second primary and 3 full baths, multiple spaces to relax and entertain, this home offers the perfect balance of comfort. Located minutes from the charming and artistic town of Burnsville, you'll enjoy easy access to local galleries, unique shops, restaurants, outdoor adventures, and the vibrant mountain culture that makes this town so beloved. Nearby highlights include the Blue Ridge Parkway, Mount Mitchell State Park, and famous Toe River Arts region. Life moves differently here-this isn't merely a place to live, this is a property that invites you to slow down and take a front row seat to nature's masterpiece. Whether you're seeking a full time residence, a second home escaping traffic and noise for relaxation, or an income producing mountain getaway, this property delivers.
