Set among mature hardwoods and enhanced by intentional landscaping that complements the natural terrain, the home offers a sense of privacy and connection to its surroundings while remaining just minutes from Sugar Mountain Resort, local dining and year-round outdoor recreation. The exterior reflects classic mountain craftsmanship, highlighted by a durable standing seam metal roof and well-defined outdoor spaces, including a custom fire pit area designed for gathering and evening enjoyment. Inside, warm wood finishes, a stone fireplace, and expansive windows create a cohesive living environment that emphasizes natural light, texture and mountain views. A well-appointed kitchen and comfortable bedrooms provide functional yet inviting accommodations for couples, families or small groups. Outdoor living spaces and the landscaped grounds invite quiet moments on the deck or around the fire pit, whether enjoying morning coffee, seasonal views or stargazing under clear mountain skies. With winter skiing and snowboarding nearby, and summer hiking, mountain biking, golf and vibrant fall foliage, this Sugar Mountain cabin offers a refined mountain retreat designed for relaxation and adventure. There is a 400-square-foot difference on the main level between professional measurements and tax records.
