This cabin, with a spring fed water supply, wood heater, well into the little known retreat Cherry Mountain Acres, is nearly of the grid. With modern conveniences available, electricity, land line, DirecTV… the house is comfortable for a up-to-date lifestyle, but heat and water is available without electricity. The 2BR/2BA open floor plan with cathedral ceiling makes good use of space. An electric stair-lift is in place on the stairs and may be purchased. Great kitchen with lots of countertop and storage space, there’s a laundry behind louvered doors. There is a finished room in the loft and a finished room in the basement. On 11.25 acres, with springs, mountain laurel, and a babbling creek that flows by the side deck, you’re going to love this retreat. There is an above ground pool, but it needs a new liner, not a real expensive repair if a pool is important to you. A separate storage building with a new roof and fresh paint job is convenient. The house is tucked into the forest and seldom needs air conditioning, but there are 4 new window units for hot muggy days. A large wood burning heater heats the home nicely in the winter, but if you want to heat it quickly there are baseboard heaters. Turn them on a little while to take the chill off then turn them off and let the wood stove take over. This house has all the charm of a log home, but none of the maintenance. Sheathed in Western Cedar siding the house and decks require very little upkeep. Sitting on the deck is a pure joy, once you’re here, you might never go back.
