There are places that feel quieter the moment you arrive. Set on more than 26 private acres just outside Morganton, this beautifully maintained 3BR/2BA log home offers true serenity without feeling too far from town. The setting feels deep in the mountains, yet the elevation is comfortable, access is manageable and there are no HOA dues. Everything is on one level, with warm knotty pine interiors, vaulted ceilings, updated vinyl plank flooring and a long covered front porch made for gentle breezes and beautiful sunrises. The grounds are every bit as special, with magical gardens, extensive hardscaping, landscape lighting, rock accents and a fenced backyard perfect for pets or little ones. A pebble path leads to the firepit, while walking and ATV trails wind through the property. Deer, turkey, butterflies and birds are regular visitors, and the night sky is perfect for moon and stargazing.Recent improvements include high-end 2023 appliances, new gutters with screen covers, drainage and driveway upgrades, backyard fencing, updated lighting, a primary shower enclosure and fresh staining throughout. A backyard workshop and garden shed are perfect for projects. With more than 26 acres, there is potential to subdivide to create multiple parcels or a private family retreat, subject to county approval. Private, peaceful and surrounded by nature, this is the mountain lifestyle many people dream about, with historic Morganton only a short drive away.
