Situated on approximately 1.5 unrestricted acres at an elevation of nearly 3,400 feet, this 2-bedroom, 2-bath retreat is surrounded by mature hardwoods, native mountain flora, and the peaceful sounds of the forest. Step inside to a dramatic two-story great room featuring soaring tongue-and-groove wood ceilings, exposed beams, warm wood walls, hickory hardwood flooring, and a stunning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Whether gathered around the open hearth or enjoying the efficiency of the wood stove, this space captures everything buyers love about mountain living. Large windows bring natural light indoors while showcasing the surrounding woodland setting. The updated kitchen combines rustic charm with modern convenience, offering granite countertops, painted cabinetry, updated fixtures, newer appliances, and exposed wood beams that complement the cabin's timeless character. The main level includes a spacious bedroom and full bath, while the loft-style upper level serves as a private primary suite with a large closet and full bath. Outside, explore your own private trail system for hiking and mountain biking, enjoy seasonal mountain views, or simply relax and take in the beauty of Rich Cove Forest, known for its incredible diversity of native trees, mountain laurel, flame azaleas, trillium, and huckleberries. Located just minutes from Nantahala Lake, the Nantahala River, the Appalachian Trail, and the Bartram Trail, this property offers easy access to some of Western North Carolina's most treasured outdoor destinations.
