ABOUT
Property Information
One of the best views imaginable in a cozy custom log cabin at the top of the world in Little Switzerland! This is mountain living done right! The 2-bedroom/2-bath mountain home delivers when it comes to comfort, location, and one of the best panoramic long-range views to be had (becoming more and more scarce), from the Roan Mountain to the Unalaska, and a side view of Mt. Mitchell and the Blacks.
Turn-key home, ready for your family and entertainment. The home features oak hardwood floor and beautiful built-ins, rustic nostalgia and modern convenience— the large windows with custom blinds perfectly frame the best views one could ever acquire. ??Community water supplies the home, and an ADT alarm systems offers peace of mind when away. The home comes mostly furnished, and the full basement, plumbed for expansion, is ready to be finished out providing more bedrooms and doubling the square footage.
The entertainment/view deck measures in at 40ft. X 16ft. providing the perfect spot to take in the ever changing layers of blue ridge lines, blooming laurel and rhododendron along with numerous other native flora— this is peace that you didn’t know you needed until you step foot onto this platform. Supported the covered deck are posts designed by a local artist from the world renowned Penland School of Crafts. There is a a custom-built dining table on this deck that will come in very handy for entertaining family and guests breakfast through supper.
Enjoy a low-maintenance yard with nice landscaping. There is plenty of room for gardening and places for the children and pets to run. The circle drive provides ample room for parking.

The home offers privacy without remoteness and convenience without the crowd. Downtown Little Switzerland is just minutes away offering fine and quality dining experiences as the Chalet and at the Switzerland Cafe— here you will be able to mingle with many folks of like background and mix it up with all the latest happenings in this small colony at the top of the world.
