Discover this extraordinary log home estate in the serene Balsam area of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Waynesville, North Carolina. Nestled on over 4 pristine acres at an impressive 3,740-foot elevation, this custom-built retreat offers breathtaking, year-round long-range mountain views that stretch for miles. Adjoining thousands of acres of protected Blue Ridge Parkway lands, the property delivers unparalleled privacy and natural beauty. A massive white pine log home sourced from Virginia stands proudly, complemented by elegant dry-stack stone accents that blend seamlessly with the surrounding mountain landscape. Just off a state-maintained road via a private drive, the concrete-and-gravel driveway leads to a lovely, level front yard that gently rolls up to the home site, creating the feel of a private mountain estate. The main level welcomes you with an open, light-filled layout centered around a soaring 20-foot cathedral ceiling in the living room—perfect for gathering and soaking in the panoramic vistas. The spacious eating kitchen area features a wood-burning fireplace that has never been used, ready for your personal touch and cozy evenings. Adjacent, the luxurious primary bedroom suite boasts a vaulted ceiling, an oversized walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath complete with a jet tub, walk-in shower, and dual vanity.

Upstairs, two generous secondary bedrooms each feature a large walk-in closet and share a convenient Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The unfinished basement level offers excellent potential, with space planned for a family room featuring a fireplace and wood stove, a functional bath, and a tandem garage for ample storage and parking. Step outside to enjoy the expansive front uncovered deck and the rear covered deck—ideal spaces for morning coffee with the sunrise over the mountains or evening entertaining under the stars. Architectural shingles top the roof, ensuring durability in the mountain climate, while the well and septic systems support low-maintenance living. This rare offering combines timeless craftsmanship, modern comforts, and an unbeatable location in the heart of Western North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains. Whether you seek a full-time residence, weekend getaway, or private sanctuary, this log home estate captures the essence of mountain living at its finest. The house has several deferred maintenance items, and the list price reflects those.
