About this home

Welcome home to your own mountain retreat! Nestled on approximately 1.5 private acres across two lots, this beautifully maintained 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath log cabin offers 1,463 square feet of comfort, character, and the peaceful lifestyle Western North Carolina is known for. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the quality craftsmanship and thoughtful updates the current owners have lovingly made to bring this home to its exceptional condition. Step inside to soaring tongue-and-groove ceilings, beautifully refinished real wood floors, and a warm, inviting living room containing a cozy gas log fireplace. The well-appointed kitchen features a gas stove, counter seating, dining area, and everything you need for everyday living or entertaining. The spacious primary suite offers double walk-in closets for plenty of storage room and a private full bath, while the additional bedroom and full bath in the loft area provide comfortable accommodations for family or guests. A spacious half bath in the main living space is perfect for guests or just for convenience. One of the true highlights of this property is the outdoor living. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening sunsets from the covered back deck overlooking a park-like backyard, where you'll frequently spot deer, countless birds, and other local wildlife. An adjoining side deck sits beside a fenced area of the yard, making it ideal for pets, gardening, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Add in mountain views, and you'll quickly understand why this property feels like a private sanctuary. Designed for both beauty and peace of mind, this home includes a durable metal roof, Pella windows, scissor truss construction, a large crawl space with moisture barrier, electric water heater, whole-house water filtration system, and a generator that keeps lights and essential appliances running during power outages. The recently installed LeafFilter® gutter protection system comes with a transferable warranty, and the renewable termite bond has already been renewed following the June 2026 inspection. Additional features include a storage building, optional security system, and new Frontier by Verizon fiber optic internet, providing the perfect blend of mountain living and modern connectivity. The concrete parking area coming off of the paved road makes for ease of parking! Even better, the washer and dryer convey, along with the charming rocking chairs on the porch, so you can start enjoying the mountain lifestyle from day one. Some furnishings are negotiable, making this an even more attractive opportunity. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, mountain getaway, or peaceful place to call home, this meticulously cared-for log cabin offers timeless charm, quality construction, and the serenity you've been dreaming of. Come experience the beauty, privacy, and warmth of this special property—you may never want to leave.
