Crafted from logs sourced from Yellowstone, this three-level cabin blends rustic charm with modern comfort, creating the perfect escape for family and friends. The main level features a spacious primary suite and an inviting great room where soaring ceilings and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone woodturning fireplace anchor the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas. A guest bedroom, full bath, and laundry room complete the main floor. Upstairs, the loft is currently outfitted with bunk beds, providing additional sleeping space for guests. The lower level is designed for entertaining, offering a large game room with a second gas fireplace, an additional living area, full bath, wet bar, and access to an oversized one-car garage with abundant storage.

The expansive covered porch is the perfect place to enjoy the peaceful surroundings, abundant wildlife, and distant views of Sugar Mountain. Explore your own private trail system, including a scenic river trail leading to a flowing creek, a magical Galax trail that comes alive during blooming season, and a blueberry trail winding through the woods. Along the way, discover whimsical fairy gardens tucked among the trees, adding even more charm to this extraordinary property. Offering complete privacy while being just minutes from downtown Newland and a short drive to Banner Elk, this one-of-a-kind mountain retreat is the perfect blend of adventure, tranquility, and convenience. Your peaceful escape awaits. Please note discrepancy between tax record and professional measurements. Per the seller-the difference is in the basement as this cabin was completely rebuilt after a fire approximately 15 years ago. Tax records reflect the original cabin.
