    What's special

    Gated communityMountain viewView of the mountainsCharming log homeAbundant natural lightingOffered partially furnishedSoftwood floors
    Motivated Seller! Built in May 2025, this NEW Blue Ridge Log Cabin sits on 5½ acres at the end of a cul-de-sac, in a gated community. This property offers a rare find - both a year 'round stream, and a mountain view! The cabin is the builder's Carolina II model, with some modifications. It's a two bed/two bath cabin with a huge, well-insulated attic (storage? a third bedroom?), located where only one neighbor shares this entire street - and you can't see them from this property! Privacy, anyone? After driving through the cul-de-sac and following a long driveway, you'll arrive at this charming log home. Walk into a huge great room, with a wall of windows facing the sunsets and offering a view of the mountains. Abundant natural lighting fills the room, where the ceiling measures over 17' feet to its peak, and the softwood floors add to the cabin's 'genuine' quality. The kitchen features granite countertops with a soft-to-the-touch, leather finish. Any cook will appreciate the gas range and pot-filler, and new appliances (included) are always a joy. Tall cabinets offer extra storage, paired with the large pantry! Laundry is conveniently located in the hall bathroom, out of the way, but easy to access, while a little nook is thoughtfully tucked into the hall for your fur babies. The large, lit attic is accessed with drop down stairs, also located in the hall. From the builders original plans, the modifications enlarged the living area considerably by removing the third bedroom and re-configuring the location of the laundry. The second bedroom is fair-sized, while the primary is massive, considering the modest 1,221 sf footprint of this cabin. It's offered partially furnished. The two-bedroom cabin is connected to a three-bedroom septic system, with a second driveway originally created for an RV. Sitting just below the driveway is a large shed that has power and a new refrigerator.... man-cave / she-shed anyone? Clearwater Creek is just north of Rutherfordton, the seat of Rutherford County in western North Carolina. Grocery stores, healthcare, shopping, restaurants and just about anything you need is a ten to fifteen minute drive away, and it's about an hour's drive southeast of Asheville. You've found a great location!
