About This Home
Experience elevated mountain living in this luxurious log cabin retreat, ideally positioned within the beautiful gated community of the Views at Cranberry. Completed in 2021, this residence blends rustic craftsmanship with modern comfort and spans 3,462 square feet on 3.04 acres—comprising two legal lots with the option to build an additional home or maintain enhanced privacy and long-term investment flexibility.
Privately nestled on a secluded lot with mature trees and natural topography, the home offers a tranquil escape with unmatched access to the High Country’s vibrant year-round lifestyle. The main-level primary suite serves as a peaceful sanctuary with sweeping long-range Blue Ridge Mountain views. The spa-inspired bath includes a freestanding soaking tub, oversized walk-in shower, double vanity and an expansive walk-in closet with a lockable owner’s section. Glass doors lead directly to a spacious rear deck—perfect for morning coffee, evening wine or stargazing.
The heart of the home is the open-concept great room, featuring a soaring two-story river rock wood-burning fireplace, vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams and a wall of windows that bathe the space in natural light while capturing the dramatic mountain backdrop. A gourmet kitchen with stainless steel appliances, propane stove and a large butler’s pantry connects to the dining room and covered porch, complete with grilling area and outdoor seating—ideal for entertaining in all seasons. There is also a half bath conveniently located on the main level.
Upstairs, a spacious loft currently used as an office provides versatility for guest accommodations or creative space. Three generous bedrooms and two full baths—one en-suite—complete the upper level, offering comfortable and private quarters for guests or extended family.
The lower level is designed for leisure and lifestyle, featuring a full game room with a pool table, a wet bar with a beverage refrigerator, a fourth full bath and two additional rooms configured as bunk rooms. An oversized three-car garage and extensive storage throughout the home add practicality for both short stays and long-term living.
This property is offered fully furnished with no exceptions, providing a seamless, turn-key experience for both personal enjoyment and investment rental use. Currently managed as a short-term rental by Blue Ridge Mountain Rentals, the residence enjoys strong guest appeal while serving as a private retreat for the owners.
Located minutes from Boone, Banner Elk, Sugar Mountain and the region’s premier hiking, skiing and dining, this home offers the ultimate combination of privacy, luxury, convenience and Blue Ridge Mountain charm. It is a rare opportunity to own a high-end, move-in-ready log cabin with enduring value in one of Western North Carolina’s most desirable gated enclaves.
