Perched in the mountains of Fancy Gap, this very well-built log cabin offers the breathtaking 60-mile Piedmont views everyone dreams of — overlooking Pilot Mountain and stretching toward Winston-Salem, NC. Rarely do you find this kind of long-range mountain view without the restrictions of an HOA. Designed to take full advantage of the scenery, the home features expansive decking on all three levels, providing the perfect spots for relaxing, entertaining, or simply soaking in the mountain air. Inside, the open-concept floor plan welcomes you with a stunning stone gas fireplace anchoring the living room. The kitchen offers an easy flow with clear sight lines into both the dining and living areas, making gatherings effortless. The main level includes the primary bedroom, full bath, and laundry for convenient one-level living. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious loft-style family room, additional sleeping area, and another full bath. The finished lower level adds even more living space with a large game room/family room with extra storage area, 1/2 bath designed with rustic charm, complete with vanity sink just outside. Whether you're searching for a full-time mountain residence, weekend retreat, or income-producing Airbnb/VRBO opportunity, this property checks all the boxes. Conveniently located just one hour to Winston-Salem and approximately two hours to Charlotte, NC, this mountain getaway offers privacy, views, and endless possibilities.
