This deluxe secluded modern mountain cabin sitting on over 14 acres with exceptional long views overlooking the valley of Sandy Mush and is 30 minutes to Asheville. The house is built in the middle of multiple ridge lines surrounded by a natural forest. The back of the property is the Buncombe County line. There are ATV/UTV and hiking trails from the high point to the lowest point at the creek in your own private wilderness. The entrance to the gated property is at the end of a private road and last power pole. There is a 1 acre fenced area surrounding the immediate home. Behind the house is a beautiful terrace stone wall with a gorgeous deck with swing and spectacular views overlooking the house and valley. The open floor, vaulted ceilings, fireplace, hardwood floors, updated appliances and generous size cabinets complement the upscale feel of the cabin. The large windows, sliding glass doors and multiple decks provide breathtaking views for star gazing, sunrises and sunsets.
