About This Home
Beautiful mountain log home with phenomenal long-range views at just under 3,500 feet in elevation. Perched on a scenic knoll and surrounded by wraparound porches, this property was designed to take full advantage of the breathtaking views in every direction. Situated on just over 26 acres, the land offers a nice blend of open ground and wooded acreage for added privacy and outdoor enjoyment. Paved road access leads all the way to the front door for easy year-round convenience. The striking exterior has been recently painted and stained, including the porch flooring, and a new metal roof was installed in 2026.Inside, the main level features a stunning two-story great room with beautiful wood flooring and soaring wood ceilings, creating the perfect mountain retreat atmosphere. The great room flows seamlessly into the spacious dining area and large kitchen featuring granite countertops, breakfast bar, stainless steel appliances, including double ovens. Just off the kitchen is a convenient laundry and mud room with charming swinging barn door access. The enclosed sunroom, complete with a stone wood-burning fireplace, offers the perfect place to relax and enjoy cool mountain evenings year-round. The main level also includes a guest bedroom, ideal for a home office, along with a full guest bath conveniently located near the living areas. Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious en suite bedrooms, both with access to private covered porches. The primary suite is exceptionally spacious and features a walk-in closet, soaking tub, and walk-in tile shower. The second en suite bedroom bath has been recently updated with new flooring, vanity, and tile shower. The finished basement offers additional living space with tongue-and-groove walls and ceilings, new tile flooring throughout, 1 bedroom, 1 bath, den, and bonus room. While not currently counted in the heated square footage due to no permanent heat source, it could easily be heated with baseboard heat or a mini-split system and would add over 1000 heated SF to the home. Outside, the property is equally impressive with a 2400 SF( 40x 60) building constructed in 2021 featuring garage door access, power, and water—perfect for ATVs, tractors, equipment, or recreational toys. An additional detached two-car garage provides even more storage space and could easily be enclosed with garage doors.
