Calling all nature lovers! This secluded 3BR/3BA mountain retreat is nestled near the Cohutta Wilderness and only 20 minutes from downtown Blue Ridge and the riverfront destination town of McCaysville. Explore your own private 3.6 wooded acres of established mountain biking and hiking trails, then expand your journey into thousands of acres of USFS property located just minutes away. Boasting fine craftsmanship and ready to be personalized, this custom built home inspires entertainment while serving plentiful doses of relaxation. The main level offers a master suite and spacious living ready for your large gatherings with a well-appointed kitchen, breakfast area, and dining room. Climb the rod iron spiral staircase to find the secondary bedrooms adjoined by a shared bathroom, and catch a view of the stone fireplace from the catwalk. Just beautiful. Escape to the spacious wrap-around deck for a midday nap or enjoy the sounds of nature as you relax in the hot tub on the private screened porch. The full unfinished basement provides tons of room for storage and easy expansion, as it already includes a full bathroom and large work shop. Updates to the home include full interior paint, newly refinished hardwood floors throughout the main living areas and newly installed luxury vinyl flooring in the bedrooms. Most furniture can convey with sale. Perfect for full time mountain living or short or long term rental.
