411 Apple Valley Road, Zionville, NC, 28698
About This Home
Tucked into the trees atop a mountain across from an apple orchard, this authentic log cabin has been renovated from the ground up — and it shows in every detail. Original hand-hewn logs and chinking meet crisp shiplap, wide-plank floors, and a soft sage kitchen with butcher block counters. The vaulted great room ladders up to a sleeping loft above and slides open to multiple porches below, where the mountains do the rest of the talking. Outside, a cedar barrel sauna sits just off the deck beside a cozy outdoor shower — the kind of pairing that turns a weekend into a reset. Inside, the bath is finished in custom pebble tile, floor to ceiling, with matte black fixtures and a rain head. Every system is dialed in: brand-new tankless gas water heater, mini-split heating and cooling, and a full top-to-bottom renovation behind the walls. It comes FULLY FURNISHED and ready to go. Leather seating, a real king bed in the loft, dishes in the cabinets, art on the walls. Walk in with a duffel bag and stay. What makes it rare: it's move-in ready as a second home and turnkey as a short-term rental. Gated community, mountain views, covered porch, sauna, and a setting so still you'll notice the quiet before you notice anything else. Quiet beyond quiet. Come see it. Broker Interest
