Your private mountain estate is here! A gorgeous log cabin plus 4 additional lots (for added privacy) gives you almost 8 acres of prime Blue Ridge mountain living. Home is solidly built with post-and-beam touches throughout. Legally listed as a 3 bedroom, home has 5 rooms currently being used as bedrooms - each with its own private ensuite full bath. Perfect for large family gatherings and reunions - yours and others - because Catawba Falls Preserve is one of the few gated, restricted neighborhoods in the area that allow you to use your home as a short-term rental. So keep using it as an AirBNB/VRBO just like the current owners, and make passive income when you're not there! All furnishings are included, except for a few personal items. This place is literally turnkey. 35 minutes to Asheville and 20 minutes to Black Mountain. See MLS# 4411768 for home listing without additional lots priced at $1.049m. https://visiorephoto.hd.pics/1767-Catawba-Falls-Pkwy/idx
