PRISTINE 3BR LOG RETREAT | 1.81 ACRES | GATED PRIVACY Rare "like-new" condition in the sought-after Hearthstone Ridge community. Unlike many mountain properties, this custom cabin has been exclusively used as a private getaway by the original owner and has never been a rental. The pride of ownership is evident in every corner. At 1,648 sq. ft., this home offers significantly more space and versatility than the standard 2-bedroom cabins in the area. INTERIOR HIGHLIGHTS: The vaulted main level features a cozy living room with a fireplace and a spacious kitchen with a breakfast bar. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the main floor. The entire upper level is a private primary sanctuary, featuring an ensuite bath and a versatile loft perfect for a home office or guest overflow. OUTDOOR LIVING: Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, enjoy total seclusion on nearly 2 wooded acres. Relax on the covered front porch or unwind in the private hot tub on the upper sun deck. LOCATION & POTENTIAL: Minutes from Rutherfordton's Main Street dining and breweries, yet easy access to Lake Lure and Asheville. High-quality furnishings are negotiable for buyers seeking a turnkey mountain transition. Whether you are looking for a full-time residence, a second home or a short-term rental property, this is the highest quality-per-square-foot log cabin value in the subdivision and surrounding areas.
