    What's special

    Recently remodeled kitchenLiving and dining areasCovered porch
    If watching the sun set across layers of mountains from the porch of your log cabin with nothing but the soothing sounds of nature and not a neighbor in sight is what you are after, you have finally found it! Welcome to 1260 Fork Ridge, where life is as tranquil and immersive as it was generations ago when the area was settled. Pull to the end of the gravel drive to find yourself tucked peacefully into the mature hardwood forest of the mountain. Situated on two tracts totaling over 15 acres, trail systems and rock outcroppings are already here just calling you to get to know the mountain more intimately. Step onto the covered porch and gaze over a vista that only gets sweeter as the sun disappears in the distance. Original log cabin was built from red oak logs reclaimed from an old tobacco barn, and the stacked rock fireplace with locally sourced rock from the nearby Beech Creek provides the rustic charm that defines mountain living. Sellers have meticulously improved the home during their ownership by expanding to a full upstairs bath, sealing the crawl space, along with various other details that a discerning buyer is sure to appreciate. Home is laid out beautifully with all necessities on the main level including the recently remodeled kitchen, expansive primary suite with laundry and full bath, and living and dining areas. Many opportunities to soak in the views from almost every room, with multiple accesses directly to the covered deck from the kitchen, living, or primary suite. Upstairs you will find a large suite which can be a traditional second bedroom, a bunk room, or partitioned off to be two rooms if desired. This and the loft area have direct access to the upstairs bath. Loft area can serve as a third sleeping space or the perfect home office. Property has opportunities for an additional homesite, with rights to a shared well should another home be desired. Take time to view the video tour and schedule your visit today! You can experience what true mountain living and relaxation is at its very finest! Close proximity to all High Country amenities including skiing, hiking, tubing, biking, and innumerable adventures in every direction. This property would be a fantastic family retreat or a powerhouse rental property. This mountain cabin is calling, come and experience it for yourself.
