The timeless charm of this log cabin is matched by modern upgrades designed for...Unparalleled Quality & Privacy with Panoramic 60-Mile Views Welcome to your mountain sanctuary—an exquisite 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath handcrafted log home nestled on 4.8 unrestricted acres with sweeping 60-mile views of the Piedmont. This is more than a home; it's a rare opportunity to own a one-of-a-kind retreat just 2 miles from the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway, yet completely private with no HOA or neighborhood restrictions. The timeless charm of this log cabin is matched by modern upgrades designed for peace of mind and long-term comfort. In 2023, the entire HVAC system was replaced and comes with a full warranty. A state-of-the-art tankless propane water heater and a whole-house Generac generator were also installed, ensuring continuous comfort regardless of the season. In November 2024, the home's exterior was professionally stripped and re-stained, preserving the integrity and beauty of its natural wood finish. This property is a private escape, yet perfectly positioned: only 30 minutes from Mt. Airy for daily conveniences, and just an hour from cultural and economic hubs like Winston-Salem and Blacksburg. Within a 90-minute drive, you can access Greensboro, Charlotte, Roanoke, and Bristol—making this a strategic location for both full-time living and a weekend getaway. Currently listed on VRBO with an impressive rental history, this home offers the added value of income potential. Whether you choose to continue its legacy as a luxury vacation rental or keep it as your personal haven, the possibilities are as expansive as the views. Properties with this level of seclusion, craftsmanship, and proximity to major destinations rarely come to market. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a slice of Blue Ridge Mountain paradise. This home comes mostly furnished. There is a list of items that do not convey.
