Look no further for your private mountain retreat with mountain views! Only 15 minutes from Asheville, this home has been used as a vacation rental and has been a great investment. Sit on large front porch of this sawed log home and watch the mountain foliage change with the seasons. The living room has 22 ft cathedral ceilings and large rock wood burning fireplace keeps you toasty in the cooler winter months. A central vacuum system makes cleaning more convenient and unloading groceries is a breeze as the driveway reaches near the kitchen door. Outside the home is a storage building, a large rock fish pond covered by a gazebo and a 40' covered motor home pad with water and electricity. No HOA fees and minutes from groceries and restaurants!

Low-Density Residential District
The R-LD Low-Density Residential District is primarily intended to provide locations for low-density residential and related-type development in areas where topographic or other constraints preclude intense urban development. These areas are not likely to have public water and sewer services available, and the minimum required lot area will be one acre unless additional land area is required for adequate sewage disposal. These are environmentally sensitive areas that are characterized by one or more of the following conditions: Steep slopes, fragile soils, or flooding.
