Description

Private log home masterpiece on over 11 acres with multilayered mountain views! Nothing but the tranquil sounds of nature from the two tiers of decking, some covered and some uncovered, or from the new screened in porch. Inside you find cathedral ceilings with windows everywhere to allow an abundance of natural light and take advantage of the amazing views. The primary bedroom and bedroom two, along with two bathrooms are on the main level, bed and bath three on the lower level with two bonus rooms up top. The kitchen, primary bath, and laundry room have all been remodeled. Stairs have been added connecting the two decks that have new IPE boards and rails. New landscaping including an impressive fire pit, raised garden beds, nice stonework, and a potting shed. There's a new pole barn below to store a camper or tractor, with lots of firewood storage. Located centrally between Sylva, Cullowhee, and Webster, just a few minutes from Western Carolina University and Southwestern Community College. A short ride to other nearby towns with many opportunities for hiking, boating, fishing, and tubing. Great dining, breweries, shopping, concerts, and festivals are all nearby all year round!
