Rarely does a property like this come available. Set on 29 unrestricted acres, with waterfalls, massive natural boulders, a pond, established gardens, and quiet picnic spots is a beautifully maintained log home, all less than a quarter mile from the Blue Ridge Parkway. The cabin sits above the landscaped grounds with a stone chimney, metal roof, and a long open deck that runs the length of the house and faces the view. From the deck you look out over the pond, the lawn, and layers of ridgelines beyond that include Sugar Mountain and Grandfather Mountain. Inside, the main level has two story tongue-and-groove pine ceilings, wide pine plank floors, and a wall of windows that brings in natural light and keeps the mountains in view from the living area. The kitchen, dining, and living spaces are open to one another and anchored by a floor-to-ceiling rock fireplace. The kitchen includes granite counters and backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and stainless appliances, with room for a long dining table that seats a full crowd. A bedroom and a bonus room currently used as an office complete the main level. Upstairs, the primary loft suite covers nearly 600 sf and looks down over the great room. It includes a full bath with a jacuzzi tub. The lower level, not included in the square footage because it is accessed from outside, functions as a guest suite with a full bath and a sauna room, and opens to a covered deck where the hot tub, which conveys, overlooks the mountains. You will appreciate the two car garage on winter mornings, and generator on stormy nights. The land is what sets this property apart. Paths lead through mature landscaping and birch trees to the waterfalls and rock formations, and there are several spots to stop for a picnic along the way. The pond sits just below the house. Gardeners will find a greenhouse, established growing beds, and additional land already cleared for planting. The acreage also includes multiple potential building sites, among them an excellent location for a larger main home, so the cabin could serve as a guest house, a caretaker's residence, or a place to live while you build. There are also places to park an RV. Whether you're looking for a mountain retreat as it stands or a larger vision to grow into over time or mini-farm, this is a rare amount of usable, well-cared-for land this near the Parkway. Not offered furnished.
