8 Owlet Dr, Weaverville, NC 28787
This 1975 vintage mountain cabin sits on 1.79 private, wooded acres and feels worlds away from it all. Tucked into the heart of the Reems Creek Valley, it offers a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a truly special place just minutes from the charm and conveniences of downtown Weaverville. It is a home for those who appreciate authenticity - original materials, honest craftsmanship, and the kind of patina that only time can create. The cabin's rustic, retro character shines through in its warm wood interior, built-in features, and cozy living room fireplace, inviting you to slow down and settle in. Skylights bring soft natural light into the living spaces, creating a peaceful connection to the surrounding forest. This 1.5-story home features two bedrooms and a full bath on the main level, along with the kitchen and living area.

The unfinished basement provides laundry, garage access, and abundant space for storage, workshop use, or future expansion. An ideal blank slate for someone with vision; the land offers privacy, and room to garden.
