Tucked along the Historic New River, this custom-built, freshly stained log cabin blends mountain charm with all the fun of riverfront living. Just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, quaint Glendale Springs, and only 20 minutes to downtown West Jefferson, you’ll have the best of both worlds—peaceful seclusion and easy access to shops, restaurants, and more. Crafted by Snow Construction using Amish Hochstetler kiln-dried Eastern White Pine logs, this beauty is built to impress. Step inside to an open, airy main level with maple cabinetry, quartz counters, a spacious pantry, and a great room anchored by a wood-burning, stone fireplace. Walls of glass pull the outdoors in, while the dining area invites everything from cozy dinners to lively gatherings—spill out onto the big covered porch for mountain air and river views. The main floor primary suite keeps things convenient, and upstairs you’ll find a bright, open loft for extra living space. Downstairs offers a second living/family room, a bonus room, a full bath, and even a home theater system for movie nights. Outside? It’s a river lover’s dream. A winding walking trail (or a gator ride) takes you straight to the water, where huge stone steps make slipping into your kayak, tube, or fishing spot a breeze. There’s a flat river area perfect for campfires, a creek running along the property, and storage space for all your toys. Recent updates—new well pump, hot water heater, radon mitigation and 2022 HVAC. Smart home upgrades include Lutron lighting and an indoor/outdoor speaker system. Comes mostly furnished so you can start living your best river life immediately. Whether it’s tubing at sunset, grilling by the firepit, or cozying up by the fireplace after a day on the water, this cabin is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle. Come see this one today!
