Super charming log cabin on 10 acres with New River access less than 15 minutes to downtown Boone and one mile to the Pine Run New River Access. Sold fully furnished, absolutely turn-key, a new owner can escape the heat and start enjoying this new mountain getaway immediately! Just bring your toothbrush, everything else is here for you…right down to the K-Cups, smores makings, and beach towels for after the river! With one bedroom on the main level and a large sleeping loft currently with a queen bed but would fit a king size if new owner desires, this quintessential mountain cabin is very well laid out utilizing the space efficiently. On unrestricted land, this is a dreamy vacation spot and would also make a wonderful short term rental investment property. Plus there is room to grow!…another flat spot is on the property where a new guest cabin could be built! The 10 acres also features hiking trails, a fire pit, springs, a stream, and a deeded easement to the New River where the current owners have installed steps for access. Wonderful opportunity to own a piece of the beautiful High Country paradise!
