Some homes are built to fit neatly into a category. This one was built to be remembered. Perched atop a mountain in the heart of Western North Carolina, this remarkable three-bedroom log home is for the buyer who has always dreamed of owning a true mountain cabin only on a much grander scale. Rich wood, massive hand-hewn beams, stonework and a striking central fireplace give the home its authentic character, while walls of windows frame the surrounding mountains and bring the landscape into nearly every gathering space. From the front porch, the ever-present view of Big Bald Mountain becomes part of daily life, changing with the light, weather and seasons. The expansive, multi-level floor plan offers an extraordinary amount of room for family and friends. The main level features generous living, dining and kitchen areas that flow together for entertaining, plus a pantry and access to an approximately 44-foot-long deck. Upstairs, the private bedroom spaces are complemented by a dedicated office, multiple bathrooms, a balcony and dramatic overlooks into the living areas below. The lower level feels like a destination of its own, with a large family room centered around a second fireplace, a game room, laundry, utility rooms, and additional flexible spaces for hobbies, recreation or spillover guests. Outside, covered porches, open decks, stone terraces and expansive acreage create a private mountaintop retreat surrounded by hardwood forest and long range mountain scenery. It feels wonderfully removed from the noise of everyday life, yet it is only approximately five minutes from Hatley Pointe Ski Resort, offering winter skiing, year-round fine dining at Smoke & Timber and a summertime downhill bike park scheduled to open in August 2026. Wolf Laurel’s acclaimed high elevation golf course is also nearby, along with Mars Hill, Burnsville and convenient access to Interstate 26. Asheville Regional Airport and Tri-Cities Airport near Johnson City, Tennessee, are each approximately 45 minutes away. This is not an ordinary cabin and it is not meant for an ordinary buyer. It is a home for large gatherings, long weekends that turn into entire seasons, quiet mornings overlooking Big Bald and evenings spent around the fire. For someone who has always imagined owning a substantial, authentic mountain retreat with room for everyone, this may be the place where that dream finally takes shape. *Additional Five Acres available. See MLS#4406923 for more details.*

Perched high in the Blue Ridge with sweeping southwest-facing vistas, this mountain home commands long-range views of the Appalachian range that must be seen to be believed — and the sunsets are simply extraordinary. Lovingly maintained as a private second residence, this is not just a house. It is a fully curated, artistically appointed retreat and the landscape with stacked stone is as much a feature as the architecture itself. Every principal room — kitchen, living room, rec room and primary suite with its own balcony— frames the mountains as living art. The large, open kitchen features a walk-in pantry and views while you cook. The hardwood floors throughout give warmth accompanied by the heat from the wood-burning stove that anchors the main living space, radiating ambiance through cool mountain evenings. The primary suite is its own sanctuary, with a private balcony perfectly positioned to watch the sun sink below the Appalachian ridgeline, a spacious spa bath with soaking tub, and a large walk-in shower. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a beautifully appointed Jack and Jill full bath. The lower level offers exceptional flexibility — currently used as a second living room but equally suited as a game room, media room, or studio. The half bath on this level is already plumbed for a shower, making a full bath conversion straightforward. Outside, thoughtfully designed natural contours are complemented by stacked rock and right near the side door is a level fire pit area. A single-car garage plus attached carport provide ample covered parking and storage. The majority of the artwork and furnishings throughout the home are available to convey, allowing the next owner to step directly into a fully realized mountain retreat. The baby grand piano — a signature piece of this artistic home — is negotiable. This is a true one-of-a-kind artistic masterpiece for the creative nature loving spirit. Located just 4 minutes from the charming university town of Mars Hill and only 20 minutes from downtown Asheville, with its renowned dining, arts, music, and outdoor adventure. The elevation, the silence, the stars — without sacrificing access to world-class amenities.
