Tucked away on 6.47 wooded acres, the property feels like a true mountain retreat, surrounded by woods and nature, yet downtown Banner Elk is only about 10 minutes away. The generous acreage is one of the property's greatest assets, providing exceptional privacy while giving you control over maintaining or enhancing the long-range mountain views. River Run is a small gated community with private access to the Elk River and its trout waters. Inside, the cabin has all the warmth and character you'd expect from a mountain log home. The open floor plan is filled with natural light from dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, while a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace anchors the great room. The farmhouse-style kitchen features granite countertops, a large center island, gas range and stainless appliances. The adjoining dining area opens directly onto a spacious covered rear deck—an ideal place to relax, entertain and take in the peaceful mountain setting. The main level offers a spacious primary bedroom and private bath with separate vanities, along with a convenient half bath for guests. Upstairs are two additional bedrooms, a full bath and a large loft overlooking the living area. Approximately 1,320 square feet of unfinished basement offers tremendous potential for future expansion, with a walkout entrance and plenty of space for a game room, theater, recreation area, workshop or additional living space. The home is also equipped with a Generac whole-home on-demand generator, central dehumidifier and Tar Heel Basement Systems moisture-control system—valuable features for added comfort, protection and peace of mind in a mountain home. Whether you're searching for a full-time mountain home, private getaway or property with tremendous short-term rental potential, 473 Double Knob Road stands out for what matters most: 6.47 acres, long-range mountain views, exceptional privacy and a location just minutes from the heart of Banner Elk.
