Escape to the mountains in this private chink-log home, tucked inside a gated community just minutes from Maggie Valley. Offering approximately 2,129 square feet, 2 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a bonus sleeping area, the home sits on two lots totaling over 3.6 acres with beautiful mountain views and a wonderfully peaceful setting. The main level features an open living concept and split-bedroom design filled with authentic mountain character. A striking stone fireplace anchors the living room, while the updated kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, a large breakfast bar, and a true walk-in pantry. Both main-level bedrooms enjoy convenient access to full baths, and a washer and dryer located in the primary walk-in closet add everyday convenience. Downstairs, the finished basement expands the living space with a comfortable family room, bonus sleeping area, full bath, laundry, LVP flooring, and direct access to the two-car garage or lower deck/hot tub. The property's layout also presents the potential to add an upper driveway for more convenient main-level access. Outdoor living is a highlight, with a spacious covered back deck, covered front porch, and covered lower patio featuring an included Viking Spas hot tub. The fenced backyard provides a peaceful retreat for pets, gardening, or evenings around the fire pit, all surrounded by mature trees and mountain scenery. Additional highlights include a roof installed in 2018, mini-split heating and cooling systems installed in 2022, a 2023 electric water heater, community spring water, and Spectrum internet availability. Private without feeling remote, this distinctive mountain home offers generous acreage, flexible living space, memorable outdoor areas, and convenient access to Maggie Valley, Waynesville, the Blue Ridge Parkway, and everything Western North Carolina has to offer.
