Description

With unobstructed views of Cold Mountain, Shining Rock Wilderness, Lake Logan with its surrounding mountain ridges, Canton, and the Pigeon River Valley; this mountaintop chalet is a luxury, custom-built retreat that has to be seen to be believed. Nothing does this property justice like an in-person visit to see the astounding views and quality of construction. This luxury-built mountain chalet has triple-insulated, triple-lock Scandinavian doors and imported logs from British Columbia, Canada.

It sits atop a mountain ridge at 3,900 ft elevation. On the 34+ acres of private mountain land, there's even rumor of a private trail that takes hikers directly to the top of Cold Mountain, which sits at 6,030 ft elevation in Shining Rock Wilderness. Gathering spaces abound in the spacious, open floor plan dining and Great Room with vaulted ceilings and two-story stone fireplace. Additional entertaining spaces include a cozy terrace-level family room in the basement and loft space.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from August 22, 2023

    "Iv lived here just over 4 years. It's quiet, except for your usual stuff like the occasional idiot flying through in their jacked up truck. You can walk to Two convenience stores and a few restaurants, a comic shop, a brew pub and a few other things. Far enough away from Asheville to be enjoyable but close enough to get there if nerd be.
