Escape to this quintessential Montreat mountain cabin, perfectly nestled along a peaceful creek where the soothing sounds of birdsong and gurgling water create a true mountain retreat. Rich with rustic charm, the home features beautiful old stonework, square log construction, and a cozy fireplace that invites relaxation in every season. Multiple porches and decks offer the perfect setting to enjoy the serene natural surroundings and cool mountain air.
The main home blends timeless character with thoughtful updates, including two modern HVAC systems.
On the main level are four bedrooms, with three full baths. The great room includes living and dining areas connected to a fully updated kitchen and a large screened back porch that encourages comfortable outdoor creekside living for much of the year.
The lower level provides exceptional flexibility as additional guest quarters or potential rental space, complete with a bedroom, bath, kitchen, living area, and a four-season enclosed porch.
Adding to the property’s appeal is a separate guest cottage featuring its own stone fireplace and the same enchanting charm as the main cabin — ideal for visitors, extended family, or a private getaway space. Many furnishings and accessories are included in the sale.
