About This Home

As of May 2025

What everyone dreams of! A log cabin on a mountain. This one is furnished with few exceptions (Exclusions List included in Documents), has a storage shed/workshop out back, lots of parking and three levels with a bedroom on each one. Enter at the family room level with bedroom and a laundry/full bath. One flight of stairs up is the living area, open to the kitchen and dining with a full bath and master bedroom on this level. The loft area has a sitting room with a pull out couch and a full bath and bedroom so there is space for everyone. Mountain views appear when leaves disappear. Quiet area, yet close to the Beech Mountain Club amenities (golf, tennis, pickleball, summer outdoor pool, 3 cafes, clubhouse dining and so much more - available at additional cost to buyer, if desired). Also close to the Beech Mountain Resort with year round music, events, restaurant, mountain biking in summer and skiing/snowboarding in winter. Hiking trails abound all over Beech Mountain and 2 lakes provide fishing, canoeing and enjoying the Buckeye Recreation Center with indoor tennis, basketball, fitness and outdoor tennis and playground with a walking track. Don't let this one pass you by. Must be seen to appreciate it. Never rented.
