This authentic log home brings all the mountain charm, modern amenities, and space you could need. Highlights include 3 en-suite bedrooms, spacious covered porch areas, a half bath just off the great room, open floor plan dining/kitchen area, bonus media room, recreation room, shop area, and full bath on the lower level. The primary bedroom features a walk out to a covered porch area and the primary bathroom features a jetted tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanity. Just off the dining area you'll find a nicely screened porch that could easily be furnished as an outdoor dining area accented nicely by mountain views to the west. Two parcels are being offered totaling over 20 acres +/- of total property with a significant portion cleared for pasture land. Lot 2 has been improved with clearing and beautiful fenced in pasture land. The barn structure with over 2,000 sqft. of usable area, the main house, detached garage, back yard area, and fenced grazing area compliment Lot 3. The garage can house 2 vehicles and is connected to the main house by a covered walkway. a well paved concrete driveway leads from the community road up the the paved parking area and garage access while a well maintained gravel drive leads back behind the house all the way to the barn.
In addition to all of these wonderful features the property is also ideally located. the western most property line adjoins Pisgah National Forest which homeowners can directly access for hunting, hiking, and overall exploring. The eastern property line is highlighted by a small creek which brings an aesthetic highlight as you meander toward the main house. The heart of Blowing Rock, NC and the gateway to the rest of the High Country is only 20 minutes away. Charlotte, NC and Asheville, NC are both less than an hour and a half away. Austin Creek is a gated subdivision where each of the lots benefit from intelligent land development that allows for privacy and quiet enjoyment of each parcel with the understanding that neighbors and a strong sense of community are not far away.
