Your chance to own a true cabin in the clouds! Long-range mountain views spanning nearly 360 degrees capture Lake James, Table Rock Mountain, and the Charlotte skyline. Perfectly placed upon the mountain top and backing up to South Mountain State parks, this log cabin is one of a kind. 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths of simple luxury living. After exploring the outdoors, cozy up to the wood-burning fireplace. Laundry on the main level. Storage space below in the unfinished basement. House is meticulously maintained. Logs were treated and sealed in 2021. The community is gated as well as an additional gate for a private driveway. The location is the perfect mountain escape and yet offers convenience as it's only 20 minutes to downtown Morganton and 1 hour to either Asheville or Charlotte.

R-MU
Rural Mixed-Use District

The intended result is less conflict between adjacent property owners while maintaining the rural appearance of the area.
