Welcome to your mountain retreat in Cascade Highlands, a gated, lock-and-leave community roughly 45 minutes from Asheville and 90 minutes from Charlotte. Close to I-40 and Lake James and situated between Marion, Old Fort, Black Mountain, and Hickory, this meticulously maintained cabin offers a rare balance of privacy and convenience.
With short-term rentals allowed, the home can serve as a full-time residence, an income property, or a private getaway whenever you choose. Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully designed floor plan featuring a bedroom and full bath on the main level, main-level laundry, and an inviting living area with a wood-burning stove. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers an ensuite bathroom and walk-in closet, while the spacious loft makes an ideal home office or flex space. A wrap-around deck extends the living space outdoors, a wonderful setting for morning coffee or entertaining among peaceful wooded surroundings and seasonal winter views.
The property also features a fully fenced side and backyard, a large parking pad, and a detached two-car garage with water and electricity. The garage's upper level is framed and ready for conversion into a studio, workshop, in-law suite, or additional rental space.
Cascade Highlands offers beautiful recreation areas, including a central community pond and river access with two picturesque cascades and natural boulder formations. Experience Western North Carolina mountain living with easy access to the region's outdoor adventures and charming towns.
