Property Description

Tucked away atop the mountain, this brand-new true log cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic charm, modern comfort, and unmatched natural surroundings. A paved driveway welcomes you home to a beautifully stained exterior accented with stone, setting the tone for the well known Sisson craftsmanship found throughout. Step onto the covered front porch or the full-length covered deck and take in serene views of the creek below, framed by native mountain laurel. Inside, this cozy cabin lives large with soaring ceilings, exposed wood beams, and an open floor plan designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The great room features a stunning real stone fireplace and flows seamlessly into the kitchen, complete with black cabinetry, granite countertops, and timeless finishes. Black iron railings lead to the upper level, adding texture and enhancing the rustic yet refined design. The main level offers a comfortable bedroom and full bathroom, while the upper level boasts a spacious loft—ideal as a second bedroom, office, or bonus space—along with its own private bathroom. Thoughtful landscaping surrounds the home, blending naturally into the untouched mountain terrain with no grass to maintain. Situated on a 1-acre lot with creek frontage, this property offers direct access to the Benton MacKaye Trail right from the edge of the land—an iconic, rugged footpath stretching nearly 300 miles from Springer Mountain, Georgia to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in North Carolina. Known for its wilderness feel, steep terrain, and high elevations, it's a dream setting for outdoor enthusiasts. Whether you're seeking a peaceful mountain retreat, an adventure basecamp, or an income-producing getaway, short-term rentals are allowed, making this mountain escape a rare and versatile opportunity. Country living, privacy, and nature—this cabin truly has it all.
