There are so many possibilities here! This immaculately maintained log home sits on a hill within a wide valley, offering long-range views all around. Very gently used, this home has been well cared for by the present owners. It was briefly used as a vacation rental and did quite well. There is just enough land to be used as a mini farm if that is your heart's desire. A wrap around deck, partially covered, makes for the perfect location to rock your cares away. This is such a peaceful, quiet setting that you won't want to leave. The sellers commented that they have loved sitting by the fire on a cool evening, listening to the crackling wood! Living here has been a dream but circumstances are taking them away. They would be delighted if someone else could love this home as much as they have! Investors, if you are looking for a great vacation rental, this could be the one. Plenty of parking, recreation areas, and proximity back to Asheville, make it a great holiday getaway.
