22 Kako Ridge Rd, Sylva, NC 28779
What's special
Step outside, breathe deep, and let the mountains do the talking. Perched high above the valley in the coveted Beechwood community, this extraordinary log home was built around one thing: the view. From sunrise coffee on the deck to evenings spent watching the mountains fade into layers of blue, every day here feels like a retreat. The moment you walk through the door, your eyes are drawn to the soaring wall of windows framing seemingly endless ridgelines. Vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings, rich wood interiors, and a stunning stone fireplace create the warm, authentic mountain atmosphere buyers dream about but rarely find. The expansive covered decks are where you'll spend most of your time. Start your mornings with coffee as the sun rises over the peaks. Enjoy cool summer breezes while dining outdoors. End the day with a glass of wine as the sky puts on a show and the lights begin to twinkle in the valley below. Rain or shine, these outdoor living spaces invite you to slow down and savor every season in the mountains. Inside, the spacious main level offers comfortable everyday living with a primary suite, guest bedroom, open living area, dining space, and kitchen designed for gathering. Upstairs, the loft overlooks the great room below and provides the perfect spot for reading, working remotely, or accommodating additional guests. The finished lower level creates an ideal second living area with a large family room, third bedroom, full bath, and two bonus rooms that offer flexibility for recreation, hobbies, home office space, or overflow sleeping accommodations. Whether you're hosting family for the holidays or welcoming vacation guests, there's room for everyone. Lovingly maintained and gently enjoyed as a second home, this property offers the rare combination of authentic log cabin charm, breathtaking long-range mountain views, and exceptional vacation rental potential. With over 3,500 square feet of heated living area, multiple gathering spaces, and nearly 1,400 square feet of deck space, this isn't just a mountain home—it's the mountain lifestyle you've been searching for. With over 3500 square feet of heated living space, three bedrooms, three baths, multiple bonus spaces, and nearly 1,400 square feet of deck and outdoor living area, this is the mountain getaway buyers envision when they dream of Western North Carolina.
