About this home

Two separate Historic log cabins from 1812 were reassembled in 1991 atop this 12+ acre mountaintop. Mount Mitchell and Roan Mountain all the way in Tennessee are visible from the dining room. Both cabins have high ceilings, amazing views, and up to date amenities. The guest cabin has operated as an Airbnb. Both cabins will come fully furnished, with the exception of a few items. Both cabins share an elegant courtyard with hydrangeas, japanese maples, and flowers galore. A mini orchard sits below to supply you with peaches, blueberries, apples, pears and pecans. Next door on the same parcel a 1.5 acre home site that has been cleared for a 2800 sqft home. Well and Septic permits exist and have already been approved by county. This investment opportunity or mountain retreat is just over an hour from the CLT Airport, one hour to Asheville and 45 minutes to Lake Lure. If quiet serenity is what you’re looking for or what you want for your guests, this could be the one!

Location Information
Directions: If you are using GPS, I recommend adding two locations (Google Maps "Add Stop" feature). First STOP head to "Harvest Time Bible Camp" at 744 Missionary Plantation Rd, Ellenboro, NC 28040. Second STOP 262 Mason Rd. Ellenboro, NC 28040. (This will take you to the entrance of the neighborhood near the Camp and Mailboxes.) **HEADS UP** - If you just put 262 Mason Rd in GPS it will take you up a private road which is better suited for cars with AWD capability. From South: I-85 S and US-74 W to NC-226 N/Polkville Rd in Shelby. Continue to NC-226. Right on NC-226. Left on London Rd. Continue onto Cub Creek Rd. Left onto Duncans Creek Rd. Right on Missionary Plantation Rd. Head east on Missionary Plantation Rd toward Towery Trace Rd. Sharp left onto Towery Trace Rd. Turn left onto Mason Rd. 262 is on your right.
