Rare unrestricted mountain living meets turn-key convenience on 1.22 private, usable acres comprising three adjoining lots. A true rarity in the High Country, this property features an expansive, flat, sun-drenched grassy yard with boundless room to relax, add outdoor entertainment space, garden, or keep livestock. With absolutely no HOA restrictions, you have total freedom to utilize the property as a high-producing short-term vacation rental, a long-term rental, your own private retreat, or a mini-farm. Inside, this fully furnished 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom one-level log cabin immediately sets itself apart with its tasteful mountain decor, 10-foot ceilings throughout, and soaring timber-beamed ceiling in the main living room. Beautifully maintained solid oak floors run underfoot, anchored by a cozy newer gas fireplace. Everything is already set up and ready for immediate occupancy or instant guest check-ins. Extensive improvements include updated bathrooms and lighting, newer kitchen appliances, a newer washer and dryer, replacement front and back doors with screens, and a central heating/cooling system replaced within the last four years. The prior owners even had Mountain Electric relocate the power lines to fully showcase the mountain view. Outside, you will find a detached two-car garage built in 2021, an updated barn-style storage/potting shed, a split-rail fence, an expanded gravel drive, and a natural stone fire pit perfect for crisp mountain evenings. Enjoy quiet seclusion without sacrificing proximity to top attractions: just 11 minutes to the Blue Ridge Parkway, 16 minutes to Sugar Mountain Ski Resort, 18 minutes to the shops and dining of downtown Banner Elk, 18 minutes to Grandfather Mountain, 30 minutes to downtown Boone, and less than 10 minutes to Lowe's Grocery. Easy year-round access and unmatched versatility make this an exceptional High Country find.
