What's special

Log cabinUnmatched privacyRustic charmTotal seclusionModern peace of mind

Experience unmatched privacy and sweeping 60-mile views of the Piedmont from this stunning 3-bed, 2.5-bath log cabin on 4.8 unrestricted acres—just 2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway. This rare, non-HOA property offers total seclusion without sacrificing convenience: only 30 minutes to Mt. Airy, and just over an hour to Winston-Salem, Blacksburg, Greensboro, and more. Fully upgraded in 2023 with a new HVAC system (warranty included), tankless propane water heater, and whole-house Generac generator, this home blends rustic charm with modern peace of mind. The exterior was professionally stripped and re-stained in late 2024, ensuring long-term beauty and durability. Currently a VRBO rental, the property offers exceptional income potential or can serve as your private mountain haven. With its unrivaled views, ideal location, and luxury upgrades, this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a premier Blue Ridge escape. Home comes mostly furnished, with some exclusions.
