Updated LOG CABIN offering ONE-LEVEL living and exceptional outdoor living. Extensive improvements were completed in 2025, creating a move-in-ready mountain retreat with a strong vacation rental history at 398 LOCUST DRIVE, MAGGIE VALLEY, NC
Step inside to an inviting Great Room featuring beautiful refinished wood walls, vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, a new propane fireplace insert with remote, and 2 remote-controlled ceiling fans. The open-concept design flows naturally into the dining area and spacious kitchen. All interior wood walls were cleaned and refinished with stain and a protective top coat to restore their natural beauty. All flooring was replaced with quality waterproof Cortec Plus 5 interlocking wood-look flooring by Blue Ridge Custom Floors.
The kitchen includes a new dishwasher and countertop microwave. Interior doors and windows were sanded and refinished with new hardware, and most door jambs were replaced.
The primary bedroom includes an ensuite bathroom and access to the covered front porch. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bathroom complete the bedroom wing. Both bathrooms were remodeled with larger vanity sinks, new toilets, and additional ceiling lighting above the tubs. Three new barn doors add character, with one in each bedroom.
The laundry area was rebuilt with a three-step entry and privacy wall and received fresh paint. A new top-loading washer is included, and the dryer was serviced in 2025.
The game room provides flexible space for a den, office, recreation room, or sleeping area. It features fresh paint, a refinished interior log wall, and convenient access to the outdoor fire pit. A mini-split is being installed for heat and air conditioning.
Spectrum Cable TV and INTERNET is available.
The exterior has received attention as well. All exterior log walls were professionally cleaned, repaired where needed, re-stained, and sealed. The front deck was redone, and slatted walls were added to the front and side to enclose the area underneath for storage and added curb appeal. The roof was professionally inspected and cleaned.
At 3220' elevation, OUTDOOR LIVING is a standout feature of this property. The NEW 20' x 20' backyard deck includes a 9' x 12' pergola creating a private, wooded setting for outdoor dining, entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the mountain air. Two privacy panels add to the relaxing environment. The backyard features a fire pit area, garden beds and boxes, mature trees, a garden shed, and multiple areas for outdoor seating. The peaceful wooded surroundings provide a natural mountain backdrop and a sense of privacy.
Level parking adds convenience and makes this mountain cabin easy to access from STATE-MAINTAINED PAVED ROADS.
With its extensive 2025 improvements, authentic log construction, open floor plan, flexible living spaces, level parking, and impressive outdoor entertaining areas, this property is ideal as a full-time residence, second home, mountain getaway, or vacation rental investment. The home has a history as an Airbnb vacation rental.
