Escape to your ultimate mountain sanctuary at The Preserve at Elk Knob (TPEK)! Tucked away on Lady Slipper Trail, this pristine 2-bedroom, 1.5-bathroom cabin retreat sits on a beautiful 1.09-acre wooded lot (Lot 10). Best of all, the sale includes the adjacent, separate 1-acre Lot 11. Because a section of the protected community common area sits directly between the two lots, you have a permanent, natural buffer built right into the landscape that can never be subdivided or built upon. This multi-lot package provides a wonderful layout for a future family compound or a separate guest cabin on Lot 11, giving you excellent flexibility and your own personal green space. Built in 2017, the cabin seamlessly balances rustic mountain beauty with low-maintenance, high-quality engineering. The exterior is wrapped in premium, durable cement fiber siding and topped with a long-lasting metal roof, all anchored by a magnificent rock chimney. Inside, soaring natural pine ceilings and a bright, open-concept layout flow effortlessly out to an expansive deck - perfect for taking in the quiet wooded surroundings. The upper level features a fantastic, loft space that can comfortably sleep 4+ guests, making the home feel incredibly spacious. Engineered to last, the home boasts ultra-sturdy 6" stud wall construction and a full, unfinished basement—a clean slate ready for a workshop, gear storage, or future finished living space. Whether you are looking for a full-time residence or a premier mountain escape near Hot Springs, this property offers unmatched quality, compound flexibility, and world-class hiking right at your doorstep. Outdoor lovers will find this location unbeatable: you are just a short drive from Max Patch, one of the most iconic and breathtaking destinations on the Appalachian Trail, famed for its stunning 360-degree panoramic mountain views. Even better, you can lace up your boots and reach the Max Patch trail system directly from the TPEK property in less than a 1-hour hike! The community itself offers a sprawling, low-density feel, stretching across 83 majestic acres with only 23 private lots total. With 57 acres strictly dedicated to protected common areas, the neighborhood maintains a vast, quiet, and tranquil atmosphere where you can enjoy private access to pristine forests, rolling meadows, ponds, and community orchards.
