Home Active Under Contract near Lake Hiwassee

Welcome to your storybook mountain escape -- where mornings begin with the scent of pine, coffee in hand on the wraparound porch, and the only sounds are songbirds and rustling leaves. Nestled on a peaceful 0.79-acre wooded lot, this custom designed 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath log-sided cabin offers warmth, craftsmanship, and a quiet connection to nature. Step inside to find soaring vaulted ceilings, golden wood interiors, and a stacked-stone fireplace that invites you to slow down and stay awhile. Sunlight filters through custom blinds on large windows, each chosen to echo the cabin's natural tones and enhance its warm, inviting glow. The open-concept layout flows naturally into a granite and stainless kitchen, equally suited for casual breakfasts or cozy dinners with friends. The main-level primary suite provides an easy retreat, while the lofted upper level offers a guest bedroom, full bath, and a light-filled sitting area overlooking the forest. A full unfinished basement adds flexibility for future expansion--a workshop, studio, or game room, all with walk-out access. Outdoors, enjoy every season from your covered porch, the perfect spot to watch rainstorms roll through or listen to crickets under a canopy of stars. With a metal roof, energy-efficient systems, and low-maintenance exterior, this cabin is designed for comfort and simplicity--whether it's your weekend getaway, vacation rental, or forever home. Located just minutes from downtown Murphy, Lake Hiwassee, and endless trails and waterfalls, this is more than a home--it's a lifestyle defined by peace, privacy, and a touch of mountain magic.
