With lots of sweat equity, you can escape to your own private retreat with this 1,050 sq. ft. log cabin, nestled on 3 acres. This charming cabin has so much potential, offering the perfect getaway or full-time residence for nature lovers and those seeking peace and privacy. A stunning, floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace serves as the centerpiece of the living space, perfect for chilly evenings. In addition, a mini-split was installed in 2022. Aged wood floors add to the rustic charm and character of the home. The home is equipped with a dumb waiter, a claw foot tub and a metal roof. The original driveway was removed by Hurricane Helene, and access is now via a footbridge. There is a barn and outbuilding, ideal for storage, a workshop, or even conversion into a guest space or studio. Includes a creek and a beautiful rock outcrop. Whether you're looking for a weekend retreat, a homesteader’s paradise, or a creative renovation project, this property offers endless possibilities.
