Serenity and seclusion await at this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom custom log home on 3.14 private acres at the heart of Tate City, a remote community that's accessed by meandering down a gravel road along the Tallulah River basin headwaters. The property adjoins thousands of miles of USFS and more specifically Southern Nantahala Forest Wilderness lands. This area is known for amazing fishing, hiking and simply being immersed in the natural environment. Upon arrival and up a shared driveway, you'll find the home perched along a hillside with mountain views facing West/Northwest towards the sunset. Step inside off of the screened porch to an open main living area with kitchen, living and dining areas combined under vaulted ceilings. The living room offers a masonry fireplace to keep warm and cozy on chilly mountain nights. There are two guest bedrooms that share a bathroom on the main level. Upstairs, you'll find an expansive owner's suite with large bedroom, a private bathroom and a loft sitting area overlooking the living space below and a spot to enjoy taking in the beautiful mountain view! On the lower level, find an unfinished space with concrete floors awaiting your creative vision for build-out. This could be a recreation space, additional living area with plumbing already stubbed in. The property offers room to expand with ample acreage for additional structures or for use to construct private nature trails leading into miles and miles of national forest. An additional 28+ acre tract is also available for purchase and is contiguous. MLS# 10278790.
