Looking for a mountain home that feels worlds away yet is built to stand the test of time? This handcrafted log retreat offers just that. Perched on a windswept bald a mile above sea level, it's rare to find a home available at this elevation with such enduring craftsmanship. Enjoy breathtaking views of Mount Mitchell, the Smokies, and Pisgah National Forest - every window frames a postcard-worthy scene. Built in 2007 with 8-inch oak logs, hand-hewn details, and a red cedar exterior topped with a Gerard stone-coated steel roof, this home is made to last. Inside, Carlisle wide-plank walnut flooring, custom walnut doors, and a library with built-in bookcases and a secret door showcase the quality throughout. Located on 1,000 acres of gated wilderness, the property offers complete privacy and 360 mountain views. It's not suburbia - it's a place to unplug, recharge, and embrace the beauty of nature.
