Imagine waking up on almost 30 acres that belong to no one but you. This cabin his set on the center top of this mountain knoll with near 360 winter views and long range western sunset view year round are possible with a few more trees trimmed. No neighbors in sight, no traffic, just the quiet hush of the Western North Carolina mountains and the kind of privacy most people only dream about. Whether this becomes your full-time home, your weekend escape, or an income-producing getaway, this cabin slows your heartbeat the moment you arrive.
But this isn’t roughing it. The morning light and mountain sunsets pore light though from floor to vaulted ceiling through the wall of windows. The 2-bed, 2-bath cabin and sleeping loft is a true labor of love. Walk through doors rescued from old churches and schools and run your hand along reclaimed oak and chestnut salvaged from a century-old Pennsylvania barn. Every beam and board carries a story, and you can feel the care that went into every detail. The Dutch West wood stove that warms to 20ft+ vaulted ceilings with easy as a back up on cold winter days. Main-level bathroom has been beautifully updated, with penny tile, a deep soaker tub, right down to toe-kick heating beneath the new vanity. High speed fiber optic internet with French Broad. It’s the perfect blend of old-world soul and modern comfort.
Then step out onto the expansive deck, built on sturdy black locust (termite resistant), and watch the deer graze through the woods. In winter, when the leaves fall, the mountains open up into sweeping 300-degree vistas, ridge after ridge rolling toward the horizon. Morning coffee, sunset glasses of wine, starry nights with nothing but silence: this deck is where you’ll fall in love all over again.
The upper exterior siding is Hemlock offering a balance of beauty and structural performance.
The large two car garage could be used for a studio, workshop, game room or just ample storage. Underground utilities gives peace of mind with a transformer on the property near the home. This and the high yield well also lessens cost if you decide to utilize multiple other builds sites.
You don’t even have to leave home to explore. Trails wind all across the property, inviting you to wander through the woods, discover hidden corners of your own land, and soak in the peace of the forest right outside your door. The southern property line is delineated by a rushing creek with a spring on property. I am told there is a waterfall there, but have not hiked yet to see it. There are no restriction on this property. It is gated at the bottom of the private drive to ensure privacy. Another alternate easement is possible with the purchase of a neighboring parcel and the option to buy 20+ more acres adjoining.
When you’re craving more adventure, the legendary Appalachian Trail is only a few miles away. The charming river town of Hot Springs, with its famous mineral springs, is about 20 minutes down the road, and Pisgah National Forest with endless trails are a scenic drive beyond. When you’re ready for a night out, Asheville’s restaurants, breweries, and arts scene are about 50 minutes away. Nearest large grocery store is Mars Hill about 35 min away or Johnson City, TN about 45 minutes away.
