Check out this 1700's waterfront log cabin. Originally two log homes, these cabins were brought together and painstakingly reassembled on the shores of Laurel Fork Creek. Inside, the stone fireplace, hardwood floors, wormy chestnut doors and cabinets, take you back to old world craftsmanship. Upstairs, you'll find a loft bedroom with 2 beds and a surprisingly large walk-in closet. The original log exterior walls have been well maintained, and the roof has been updated with a 50 year composite shingle for minimal upkeep. Outside is a private deck with awning to sit and listen to the rapids, while surrounded by the beautiful landscaping and privacy fence. A detached outbuilding, with both heat and air conditioning, houses the laundry facility and provides for a workshop area or could be converted into a tiny home of its own. There is abundant parking in carports on both sides of the cabin with one being oversize with a 30 RV Amp hookup nearby. With the Laurel Falls Trailhead just across the street, and Watauga Lake and the Appalachian Trail just 3 minutes up the road, you may never want to leave. Experience the authenticity and real history behind cabin life. If you're not looking for a full time residence, this unique cabin would undoubtedly be a popular destination for any short term vacation rental programs (AirBNB, VRBO, etc). Investment and rental income options galore with this unrestricted and truly unique property. * * * * Sellers will consider all offers received by 5pm Monday, May 23rd. Furnishings included, except grill and patio furniture on back patio pavers. Flood Insurance required. Information taken from public records, buyer/buyer's agent to verify.

Water front property like no other! Originally two log houses, both were brought to this water front site and reassembled into the quaint, charming log house that exists on the site today. Original log exterior walls with a 50 year composite rubberized roof installed in 2009. Covered front porch with roll down awnings, perfect for rocking chair enjoyment. Open the wormy chestnut front door and enter into a Great Room with original log interior walls and hardwood flooring plus a stone fireplace with gas logs. Eat in kitchen with ceramic flooring and counters, wormy chestnut cabinetry and a dining area. Main level master bedroom with attached bath. Up the stairs to a loft bedroom with attached over sized walk-in closet. The level site encompasses the rushing rapids of Laurel Fork Creek which flows like a river. Deck built over the water, with a electric roll out awning, affording a one of a kind outdoor living area taking full advantage of the rushing creek. Detached 12' X 12' heated wash house which houses the laundry facility and provides for a workshop area. Two double carports are also on site, one of which is enclosed on three sides. 20' X 30' RV carport with 10' sides. Hookup for a generator is also on site. This entire property has been immaculately and lovingly maintained by the current owners with impeccable manicured grounds. One gets the feel of living history in this restored log house on an almost priceless water front site. Watauga Lake is just up the road and the Appalachian Trail is located across the street. Hike to the beautiful Laurel Fork Waterfall from this property. An ideal permanent or seasonal home, again, like no other property to be found. Also, this unique piece of history would make an excellent Air B & Ab, and would, undoubtedly, stay booked all year around. Outbuilding does not convey. All info. taken from Tax Records. Buyer/buyer's agent to verify all.
