Some properties are just a place to live. This one is a place to exhale. If you've been dreaming of trading traffic and tight lots for open sky and a home with real character, 399 J A Rogers Road is worth the drive. Set on approximately 7.8 acres of open North Carolina countryside, this authentic log home delivers the kind of stillness that's increasingly hard to find -- without asking you to sacrifice the comforts you've worked for. A long gravel drive lined with mature trees leads you in, and the transition begins before you reach the front door. Rich hand-hewn log siding, teal-trimmed gables, and a sweeping wraparound covered porch signal immediately that this is something different. The Ceilings Will Stop You in Your Tracks. -Step inside and look up. The great room soars to a dramatic vaulted ceiling finished in warm knotty pine tongue-and-groove, anchored by exposed dark wood beam trusses and oversized ceiling fans. Floor-to-ceiling triangular gable windows frame pure sky and treetops, flooding the space with natural light. An open loft overlooks the living area below, connected by a beautiful open-tread pine staircase with log post railings -- craftsmanship that reminds you why you wanted to leave the subdivision in the first place. Rich hardwood floors carry the warmth throughout. A Kitchen Built for the Way You Want to Live-Weekend breakfasts without a rush. Dinner parties where everyone ends up in the kitchen. A generous center island with striking dark tile countertops houses a gas cooktop and provides abundant prep and gathering space. Floor-to-ceiling maple pantry towers offer storage most kitchens only dream about, paired with a full perimeter of cabinetry, double undermount sink, dishwasher, and French door refrigerator. French doors open directly to the covered rear deck -- morning coffee outside has never been easier. Main Level & Upper Level-The primary bedroom features exposed log beam ceilings and dual sliding glass doors to the covered deck -- the kind of quiet that's hard to put a price on. A flexible additional room adapts to a home office, studio, or guest space. Upstairs, a bright open loft with pine plank floors and sweeping gable window views makes an ideal second living area, media room, or creative retreat. Additional rooms off the loft offer further sleeping or flex options. Outside -- Where the Property Really Shines-Approximately 7.8 acres of open land, with roughly 4 acres fenced and suitable for horses or agricultural use. The rear features a gravel entertaining patio with a wood-burning fire pit, an above-ground pool, and a spacious deck built for gatherings. Wildlife sightings are a regular part of life here. A detached 3-car garage with matching log siding and carriage-style doors provides ample space for vehicles, equipment, or weekend projects. Finished bonus space above the garage offers additional possibilities for a studio, workshop, or guest overflow. Above-garage space is unpermitted; buyers are encouraged to independently verify use, permitting status, and compliance with local regulations. Still Connected When You Want to Be-Henderson and Oxford are close by for everyday needs. Kerr Lake and Falls Lake are within easy reach for boating, fishing, and hiking -- weekends that feel like a getaway without the long drive. This is the rare property where the photos undersell it. The ceilings, the land, the quiet -- some things have to be experienced in person.

Gorgeous log cabin on 7.8 acres. Home is VERY near completion, but work will not be done. Some supplies were left on the property. Basic needs are flooring and staining. The garage needs siding and garage doors, and the upstairs of the garage is unfinished. Just a few days work will make this your dream home!
