About this home

A beautiful log cabin with huge decks to enjoy the views of the mountains surrounding the gated community of Gateway Mountain is finally available for you to own. Have you been dreaming of the perfect log cabin near Black Mountain, Asheville, Lake Lure and the Blue Ridge Parkway? Come see this cabin with all you need on the main floor- a huge great room with dining, living, kitchen, island, master bedroom, a bath with deep tub, shower and laundry closet! You and guests will love sitting together in front of the gas log fireplace and pouring drinks on a hand carved bar believed to have come from an old hotel. Downstairs is another bedroom, bathroom, sitting room, bonus room and an oversized one car garage. Only 1.2 miles on the paved Sally Gap Road entrance to the paved/gravel circular driveway of this comfy cabin. You will love all the gorgeous trees and plants surrounding your mountain getaway as you observe migrating birds, butterflies and so very many animals in this community.
