This extraordinary home is located on a quiet country road behind a sweeping gravel drive, this custom-built 1985 cabin delivers rustic mountain character with the comfort of a fully finished home. The soaring rooflines, wood clapboard siding, and multi-level decks give it instant curb appeal, while a stacked-stone chimney anchors the facade and hints at the cozy fire-lit living room waiting inside. Step through the covered front porch and into a dramatic, light-filled great room where cathedral tongue-and-groove pine ceilings, exposed timber beams, and a floor-to-ceiling stacked-stone convenient gas-burning fireplace create the kind of "wow" moment to remember. Wide-plank hardwood floors carry through into an open dining area and a fully vaulted, skylit kitchen outfitted with beautiful custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a large peninsula, and a stainless appliance package — all bathed in natural light from a run of windows. A dramatic open catwalk on the second level lets you look straight down into the great room and kitchen below, adding architectural drama rarely found at this price point. The main level offers a generously sized bedroom plus a spa-inspired full bath with a dual-sink granite vanity, garden soaking tub, glass-enclosed tile shower, and an adjoining laundry closet. Upstairs, the entire second floor is devoted to a private primary suite: vaulted wood ceilings, a spacious walk-in closet, an ensuite bath, and — the true showstopper — two separate private balconies, front and back, perfect for morning coffee or stargazing. Outside is where this property truly shines. A paver-stone patio hosts a built-in hot tub, a cozy chiminea fire feature, and comfortable lounge seating, all wrapped inside a fenced area, level backyard shaded by mature trees for privacy. A detached timber-frame breezeway/carport with stone piers offers covered parking or a shaded gathering space, and a large barn-style outbuilding plus an additional storage shed provide serious flexibility for hobbies, equipment, a workshop, or animal housing — a rare bonus most properties simply can't offer. Set on a level, tree-lined 0.46-acre lot, this home is equally suited to gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying room to roam. Located in the Blue Ridge foothills of Burke County, the home is minutes from downtown Morganton's shops and restaurants and a short drive to Lake James State Park — 6,800+ acres of pristine water with swimming, boating, and 150 miles of shoreline — as well as South Mountains State Park, the state's largest, and the dramatic Linville Gorge Wilderness Area, often called "the Grand Canyon of the East." Outdoor lovers will also find the growing Fonta Flora State Trail and local breweries and wineries close by.
