About This Home

Here, the mountains are not simply the backdrop—they are the experience. Set inside gated River Country Estates, this 3-bedroom, 3-bath log cabin captures sweeping long-range, layered views from multiple outdoor living areas, including two main decks and a dedicated hot-tub deck. Inside, vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, abundant windows and a dramatic stone fireplace create the warm, authentic mountain atmosphere buyers dream about. A remodeled kitchen, fresh interior paint, new exterior doors with built-in blinds, central heating and air, and a gas on-demand water heater add modern comfort without sacrificing cabin character. Thoughtfully arranged with a bedroom and full bath on each level, the home provides exceptional privacy for owners and guests. The main-level owners’ suite makes everyday living convenient, while the upper level offers a private guest bedroom, full bath and open loft. The finished walkout basement expands the living space with an additional bedroom, full bath, washer and dryer area, and a spacious second living room with another fireplace—perfect for movie nights, extended stays or giving guests a retreat of their own. Outside, enjoy paved access, generous parking, just over .75 acre and community access to the New River. Spend the day hiking, fishing or kayaking, then return home to relax above the mountains as the view stretches across the horizon. Conveniently located near Sparta, Jefferson, the Blue Ridge Parkway and several state parks, with Boone and Blowing Rock approximately one hour away and Charlotte Douglas International Airport roughly two hours away. Whether enjoyed as a second-home escape or a full-time mountain residence, this is a home created for gathering, recharging and making the view part of everyday life.
