About This Property
MAJOR PRICE REDUCTION - MOTIVATED SELLER WILL CONSIDER ALL OFFERS!!!! Tucked away on 10.07 private, wooded acres, this authentic mountain log cabin offers the kind of setting buyers search for when they want a true mountain home, vacation home, or income-producing vacation rental. With long-range views, peaceful surroundings, and room to roam, this property delivers the privacy and mountain lifestyle people actively look for in Western North Carolina. This 3-bedroom + bonus room (used as 4th bedroom), 2-bath mountain retreat is designed for comfort, flexibility, and hosting guests. The open-concept main level features a sunroom, primary suite, and laundry for easy single-level living, making it ideal as a full-time residence or low-maintenance second home in the mountains. The wood-burning fireplace creates the cozy cabin atmosphere vacationers expect in a mountain getaway home. Outdoor living is front and center with a covered front porch and back deck overlooking scenic mountain views — perfect for morning coffee, sunset dinners, and relaxing stays. This is the kind of outdoor space that helps a vacation rental cabin earn repeat guests and strong reviews. Upstairs includes three additional bedrooms (one counted as a bonus due to 3-bedroom septic), a full bath, and a loft-style family room — ideal for guest groups, family visits, or creating separate hangout space for a VRBO or Airbnb mountain rental. For buyers seeking a turnkey vacation rental opportunity, sellers are willing to leave select furnishings, making setup fast and easy for immediate short-term rental use. Location is a major plus for both personal enjoyment and short-term rental appeal: • 5 miles to Lake Lure & Chimney Rock • 13 miles to Fairview • 15 miles to Black Mountain • 30 miles to Hendersonville Close to hiking, boating, breweries, restaurants, and charming mountain towns — yet privately tucked away for the quiet, secluded experience travelers want in a private mountain vacation cabin. Whether you’re searching for a mountain vacation home, private log cabin retreat, weekend getaway property, or income-producing vacation rental, this property checks the boxes: views, privacy, acreage, and classic mountain character. Mountain living the way it’s supposed to be — peaceful, practical, and profitable.
About the Neighborhood
Homes for sale in 28711 offer buyers a premier Blue Ridge Mountain lifestyle in Black Mountain, a small Buncombe County community approximately 15 miles east of Asheville via I-40, widely regarded as one of Western North Carolina's most beloved small towns for its vibrant arts scene, walkable downtown, and dramatic mountain setting. The residential landscape features early 20th-century Craftsman bungalows and mountain vernacular cottages in the historic town core alongside mid-century ranches and newer custom construction on wooded mountain lots with layered Blue Ridge views. The celebrated Downtown Black Mountain corridor along State Street delivers an exceptional concentration of independent galleries, local restaurants, and music venues reflecting the community's deep creative heritage, while Lake Tomahawk Park provides a beloved in-town green space with walking trails and community amenities. The Swannanoa River greenway and direct Blue Ridge Parkway access provide extraordinary outdoor recreation connectivity. The 28711 real estate market commands strong demand from buyers drawn to the community's authentic mountain arts character, walkable downtown, and Asheville proximity — typically a 20-minute commute via I-40 — at price points below Asheville's most competitive intown markets.
