    What's special

    Authentic log cabinPine ceilingsPeaceful wooded settingWarm wood flooring
    Welcome to your mountain getaway just over 1 mile from downtown West Jefferson! Located just outside the city limits while still within the ETJ, this charming true log cabin offers the perfect blend of privacy, convenience, and mountain living. Priced Furnished and situated on over 2 acres, the cabin is perched near the top of the property with seasonal mountain views and a peaceful wooded setting. A paved driveway provides easy access with parking available at the main level and additional parking at the basement garage. One of the standout features of this property is the abundance of outdoor living space, with over 900 square feet of covered porches perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying the cool mountain temperatures. Inside, this authentic log cabin features just under 1,000 square feet on the main level with warm wood flooring, pine ceilings, and tongue-and-groove interior walls that create the classic mountain cabin feel. The open floor plan allows the kitchen and dining area to flow seamlessly into the spacious living room, making it ideal for gatherings. The main level offers 2 bedrooms and a shared full bath. The lower level provides additional flexibility with an unheated basement garage area featuring painted walls and painted concrete flooring, offering a clean, dry space for storage, hobbies, or future expansion. An additional bedroom and bathroom are located on the lower level and add value and functionality, but are not included in the listed heated square footage due to the access configuration through the unheated area. This property would make an excellent weekend retreat, summer home, or vacation rental opportunity. Enjoy all that mountain living has to offer while being conveniently close to thriving downtown West Jefferson, local dining, shopping, art galleries, and Paddy Mountain Park with over 3 miles of hiking trails. Come experience cooler temperatures, fresh mountain air, and the relaxed lifestyle of the High Country!
