Nestled in the woods on 1.71 acres in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this charming log cabin presents an extraordinary opportunity for buyers, investors, or handy homeowners ready to bring a vision to life. Offered completely as-is, this property is currently mid-project and screaming with potential, featuring a kitchen in the midst of a remodel with new cabinets, new countertops, and new flooring. Fresh flooring has also been installed through the living room, hallway, and bathroom, though finishing trim and detail work remain needed throughout to complete these spaces. To help visualize the finished product, select marketing photos have been virtually cleaned up and virtually staged to showcase the home's ultimate potential. The expansive walkout basement offers incredible flexible space, perfect for finishing into a spacious second den, game room, or custom great room, with original seller intentions to add a full second bathroom. A substantial selection of personal property and building materials will convey with the sale, including unfinished doors, dehumidifiers, insulation boards, leftover tile, molding, a spiral staircase, log joint mortar, the washer and dryer, kitchen dishes, master bed, and bunk bed. Please note all tools, the projector, and the entertainment center are excluded. Perfect for anyone seeking a high-potential mountain project surrounded by nature, this rustic cabin is ready for its next owner to step in, complete the transformation, and create a truly personalized high-country getaway.
