    Natural materialsDurable cedar sidingSingle-level floor planClean linesCovered deckPella energy-efficient windows
    Commanding views across 3 states, the Appalachian Trail and Grandfather Mountain define this fully reimagined midcentury modern retreat. Positioned at over 4,000 feet elevation within a limited 14-residence enclave, the property offers usable 1.8 acres with potential to subdivide into up to 4 homesites, combining architectural design with long-term land value. Originally constructed in 1979 and taken to the studs in 2023, the residence has been rebuilt with a focus on design continuity, energy efficiency, material quality and modern performance. The single-level floor plan spans approximately 1,268 square feet with two bedrooms, each configured as a private en suite bath. The interior reflects a cohesive midcentury modern design approach, integrating clean lines, natural materials and a connection to the surrounding landscape. The main living area is anchored by a freestanding MALM wood-burning fireplace set on a custom black river rock base. A wall of sliding glass doors frames long-range mountain views while introducing natural light. The open layout supports both daily living and entertaining. Custom-milled solid Colombian hardwood flooring extends throughout. The home has been professionally designed and decorated to complement its architectural style. The primary suite offers a sitting area and a secondary wood-burning fireplace. Both bedroom suites are connected by a windowed Jack-and-Jill laundry room. The kitchen integrates seamlessly with the design while supporting high-capacity use, featuring a large island, range with pot filler, walk-in pantry and two full-size refrigerator and freezer units concealed behind doors. Direct access to the covered deck extends living space outdoors. Updates include a new electrical system with commercial-grade wiring, oversized breaker panel, new fixtures, PEX water lines and PVC drainage built to North Carolina code. A whole-house one-micron water filtration system is installed. Two Rheem on-demand hot water systems serve the home. Insulation exceeds regional standards, including underfloor, attic and interior wall insulation for superior insulation and efficiency. Additional improvements include Pella energy-efficient windows, durable cedar siding, a new GAF roof, upgraded sub-roofing, weatherproof membrane and new gutters. The home is prewired for internet, sound and security. Outdoor features include a covered deck, pressure-treated walkways with anti-skid surfaces and a professionally constructed 500-square-foot enclosed dog run with reinforced fencing. A two-car carport includes enclosed storage with approximately 12-foot ceilings and a loft area. The property is serviced by two gravity-fed water sources through the Log Cabin Lane Water Association, serving 14 homes. Annual dues are approximately $100 and limited to water management only. Located approximately 1.5 miles from Carvers Gap and Appalachian Trail access, the property offers proximity to Roan Mountain State Park, Cherokee National Forest and Pisgah National Forest, along with ski areas, Lake Watauga and Bristol Motor Speedway. Seasonal road maintenance, including snow plowing and salting, is publicly provided with no additional fees, supporting year-round accessibility. An additional approximately 2.5-acre tract located directly across the street is also available offering expanded acquisition potential for privacy or future development.. Tennessee residency includes no state income tax on earned income or retirement income.
