Luxury Custom Log Home on 18.9 acres just 5 minutes from the breweries, shops and endless outdoor activities of Old Fort. Total mountain seclusion and craftsmanship, tucked away at the end of a private drive, this custom-built 2,892 sq ft log home offers both rustic elegance and complete privacy. Situated on nearly 19 sprawling acres, the property features over 1,000 feet of ridgeline and established trails. Stepping inside, the home immediately opens into a stunning great room defined by soaring vaulted ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. Massive windows flood the space with natural light. The open-concept kitchen features custom hickory cabinetry, built-in double oven and a layout designed for entertaining. The home's flexible floor plan includes 3 spacious bedrooms & 2.5 baths, including a soaking tub retreat in the primary suite. The dedicated home office features a 1/2 bath, floor-to-ceiling built-in shelving and glass doors that lead to a private 12' x 18' deck, the perfect remote-work sanctuary. 1 Gbps symmetrical fiber line already installed! Impeccably maintained hickory flooring and cultured marble bridge the gap between traditional log construction and modern luxury. The massive 875 sq ft 3-car garage includes a dedicated workspace for gear and projects. The masonry chimney supporting the main floor's soapstone wood stove extends down to the lower level, providing the infrastructure to easily add a second stove for a heated, year-round workshop. Outdoor living is central to the experience here. The expansive 800+ square foot wrap-around front deck functions as a true outdoor wing of the home, offering a seamless transition for large-scale entertaining or quiet morning coffee. Because of its scale and orientation, you'll find the perfect balance of sun and shade at any hour, all while being completely enveloped by the lush privacy of your own forest. The property offers tremendous opportunities for developers, featuring over 1,000 feet of ridgeline. A road is already partially roughed-in to the ridge with a secondary road fully roughed-in along the entire length of the ridge. The property boundary extends significantly down the southeastern slope toward Lavender Rd, providing the necessary space to realistically support numerous additional homesites along the ridge. This land can be subdivided and developed with no restrictions. Whether you are looking for a primary luxury estate, a multi-generational retreat, a high-performing vacation rental or full-on development, this property is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of the Blue Ridge foothills. Access from Bat Cave Rd is secured via 1) an established easement and 2) a shared road maintenance agreement. Both easement rights and maintenance agreement transfer with the property and will extend to any future subdivided parcels.
