Nestled along the banks of picturesque Shoal Creek, this charming creekside cabin offers the perfect mountain retreat on +/-1.18 acres of natural beauty. Let the soothing sounds of the babbling creek below be your daily soundtrack as you unwind in this peaceful setting. The main and upper levels feature 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, accented by rich hardwood floors, barnwood detailing, and a massive living room window that frames the tranquil views. A wood-burning stove adds warmth and rustic charm on crisp mountain mornings. Step outside to a covered porch overlooking the creek, a dedicated grilling deck, and a screened-in porch complete with a relaxing Jacuzzi—ideal for year-round enjoyment. Downstairs, a separate private-entry apartment offers flexibility and privacy, complete with an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area (with oven/range and refrigerator), a cozy bedroom, and a full bathroom—perfect for guests, rental income, or multi-generational living. Additional niceties include a lower patio with potting area and a versatile shed for workshop or storage use. The property is truly a nature lover's dream, featuring a moss-laden majestic rock formation, native hostas, rhododendron, seasonal buttercups and tulips, and a serene path that winds down to the babbling creek below. Sold fully furnished (minus a few small staging items)—just bring your bags and start enjoying your mountain escape! No septic records are on file with Macon County for this property.
