Extremely nice log home built right in the middle of the forest. Very quiet and private. This is a two story, 3 bedroom 2 bath log home that is in excellent condition. The architectural shingle roof was put on last year; the heat pump and central air was renewed in 2009. All floors are wooden, there is no carpet in use. The kitchen and dining area opens into a vaulted ceiling living room with rock fireplace with a wood burning unit. The views from the home and the surrounding deck are beautiful. The second story has a large master bedroom, private bath and walk-in closet. There is also a spacious loft that has many advantages. There is a full, unfinished basement that has high ceilings would be easily finished if you need additional space. There is a 24’x25’ detached double garage, a utility shed that is currently used as a dog house and fenced area, and two other outbuildings. There is a year round creek on the property and plenty of room to further expand.

RA-20
Residential - Agricultural District
The RA-20 residential district is established as a district in which the principal use of the land is for low-density residential and agricultural purposes including single-family dwellings, two-family dwellings (individual), individual manufactured homes, and related uses necessary for a sound neighborhood. Group housing developments in the form of multiple-family dwellings, condominiums, two-family dwellings, townhouses and manufactured home parks are permitted subject to the granting of a special use permit by the Board of Commissioners. The regulations for this district are designed to stabilize and encourage a healthful environment for family life in areas where neither public nor community water or sewer facilities are available.
Directions: From NC HWY 90, east of Hiddenite T/L on Cheatham Ford Rd, go 6.5 miles, T/L at drive, mailbox says Travis, and green numbering sign says 6511. Home hard to see from main road, just follow drive up the hill. Plenty of room to turn around.
