Some homes are built to fit neatly into a category. This one was built to be remembered. Perched atop a mountain in the heart of Western North Carolina, this remarkable three-bedroom log home is for the buyer who has always dreamed of owning a true mountain cabin only on a much grander scale.

The expansive, multi-level floor plan offers an extraordinary amount of room for family and friends. The main level features generous living, dining and kitchen areas that flow together for entertaining, plus a pantry and access to an approximately 44-foot-long deck.

Outside, covered porches, open decks, stone terraces and expansive acreage create a private mountaintop retreat surrounded by hardwood forest and long range mountain scenery.
