This exceptional family compound or mountain cabin getaway is a true escape from the ordinary, combining rustic charm with modern conveniences. The centerpiece of the property is a magnificent log cabin, featuring timeless A-frame construction with oversized rooms designed for comfort and gathering. Step inside to an awe-inspiring open-concept great room with 19-foot ceilings and impressive post and beam construction. Expansive windows fill the space with natural light, offering stunning views of the surrounding forest and rushing creek below. The main level boasts a smart, split-bedroom design with three bedrooms and two full baths, while the lower level provides additional living space with a large family room, a guest bedroom, and an ensuite full bath. Designed for all-season enjoyment, the home is equipped with two furnaces, central air conditioning, and a propane furnace for cozy comfort. It features two stone fireplaces; the main level has a built-in woodstove insert, and the lower level has a gas log insert. The large, partially covered, full-length front deck and lower level fully covered deck is a perfect spot for morning coffee, evening campfires, or simply listening to the tranquil sounds of the rushing creek. You can rest assured knowing this property withstood the recent 100-year+ storm with no damage whatsoever. The property itself is a recreational paradise. It features extensive trails perfect for ATVs or hiking. A small cleared pasture area at the front of the site is ideal for a garden or family picnics. The land is south-facing and reaches a ridge top to the north, offering breathtaking views and plenty of potential for additional homesites. This property is comprised of 4 different tax parcels, offering a myriad of possibilities. In addition to the main cabin, there is a detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest cabin (approximately 655 sq. ft., not included in the primary square footage) and a large 3-car garage to store all your toys and equipment. The convenience of high-speed fiber internet ensures you can stay connected while enjoying mountain seclusion. With minimal zoning and no known private restrictions, this property offers incredible potential. Its location provides seclusion while remaining highly accessible: just 20 minutes from Wolf Laurel ski resort, 30 minutes from downtown Asheville, 15 minutes from Mars Hill, and 25 minutes from Weaverville. This is an unparalleled opportunity you won't want to miss. Can be purchased mostly furnished, if desired and could make for a great short term vacation rental when out of town!
