An upscale, sizable 3 bedroom log cabin with recent updates (new roof in 2022, and new HVAC, exterior stained/painted and main bath remodeled all in 2023) in Chestnut Falls! Plenty of privacy with no nearby cabins and the lot being 1.1 acres. Some of the features include a wet bar in the downstairs den (second living area), a woodburning stacked stone fireplace both inside/outside the cabin, a game area upstairs and a hot tub on the deck! This cabin has rented well in the past. A great location near the Buckeye Lake Recreation Center (tennis, basketball, fitness center, track and many special events) and only 4 miles to world class Beech Mountain skiing! The kitchen features beamed ceilings and stainless steel appliances. Huge covered wrap around decks on two levels. A nearby trail leads to a creek and waterfall! It is on private property, but the owner has allowed use of the trail for many years. The Chestnut Falls POA snow plows when needed. You may see signs suggesting otherwise, but that is to discourage any renter from calling in a plow for a small snow. Offered fully furnished! There are no common areas to maintain, so dues are only $350 per year and are primarily used to maintain the private road once off the Town maintained Pine Ridge Road. There are no special assessments. The exterior is solid wood logs on the main and upper floors, and log siding/concrete on the lower level. Sellers are licensed South Carolina Realtors. The property is mostly wooded, but there is some tree lined ridge view available from the deck. Elevation is approximately 3,850 feet. The property is subject to the North Carolina Vacation Rental Act given that there are rentals on the books.

This newer log cabin is a Kuhns Bros. kit house set on a concrete block foundation, and aptly named 'Cabin Fever'. It features wood floors and beams, stainless appliances, indoor and outdoor stone fireplaces, wrap around decks on 2 sides, a seasonal view, a wheelchair lift from parking area to deck, HVAC for propane heat and central air conditioning. Fully furnished with an acceptable offer. The house sits on over an acre in a subdivision just outside of city limits so there are no town taxes to pay. The basement has almost 900 sf of additional unfinished, unheated, dry floored space that could be recaptured for future expansion. There is also a dry crawlspace under the basement. House plans are in the house for an interested buyer. POA fees are a minimal $250/yr. for maintaining the roads. Beautiful, wooded setting in a quiet neighborhood make this a walker's paradise.
