About this home

Immaculate two-story hand-hewn log home with long-range views and 39+ acres, 20 minutes to downtown Asheville! This quintessential Appalachian log home was constructed by master carpenters using local timber. Vaulted ceilings give way to massive timber beams harvested from the property. 8-inch-thick walls, nearly 40 acres of wooded privacy, and epic long-range views to top it off! The first level includes two bedrooms, one bathroom, living room, dining room, and a well-appointed kitchen. On the second floor, you are met by an open loft area at the top of the stairs, followed by a 3rd bedroom with en-suite bath. Enjoy the view from the scenic front porch, and watch hummingbirds work their way through the yard! The property consists of 4 parcels totaling nearly 40 acres. Acreage creates a wonderful private buffer, but there is plenty of room to expand! Multiple homesites throughout the property with potential for epic long-range views. Enjoy all the shopping, dining, and entertainment downtown Asheville has to offer- only 11 miles to Asheville city center.
