    What's special

    Just minutes from Hwy 64 this lovingly imagined log & stone home is tucked away on over 16 gently rolling acres surrounded by a lush forest for ultimate privacy. Entry to the property is gated with a paved road that travels around the perimeter and up to the house. This delightful farmhouse features an interior of exposed logs reclaimed from a Charlotte train depot with chink joints as well as solid stone walls. Stone and reclaimed heart pine hardwood floors, solid wood ceilings with exposed beams, an antique wood stove, and a stone fireplace all add to the early settler ambiance. Except for the elevator. That's right, an elevator! The updated kitchen includes a gas range and oven, Sub Zero refrigerator, stainless hood and backsplash, and solid wood cabinets with rustic hardware. There are plenty of wooden sash and casement windows with transoms to allow plenty of light and fresh air. In addition to two bedrooms on the main living floor, the upper most story currently serves as an adorable children's room with bedroom. (Home has been approved for a septic expansion permit to make it a 4 bedroom home). Outdoors a large lawn has been cleared and beautifully landscaped. Just out the front door there is a large stone terrace and pavilion with stack stone seating in-the-round and plenty of room for outdoor cooking and dining. A short walk will take you to your own private pond. A large double-door barn for storage or workshop is nearby. Conveniently located to both Cashiers and Highlands, this property is large enough to allow for additions to the existing home or even the construction of another home. This magical mountain hideaway is a one-of-a-kind opportunity!
