Property description
Experience mountain living at its best in this meticulously maintained, fully furnished 4-bedroom, 2-bath log cabin nestled in the gated River Ridge community. Offering long-range mountain views, a peaceful setting, and paved access, this turnkey property is ready to enjoy from day one. It's not uncommon to spot deer and other native wildlife from the rear decks, adding to the tranquil mountain atmosphere. The main level welcomes you with an open-concept living area featuring hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace that creates the perfect mountain ambiance. The kitchen, dining area, primary suite, and laundry are all conveniently located on the main level for added convenience. The lower level offers a den, three additional bedrooms and a spacious full bath with dual vanities, providing plenty of space for guests or a home office. The unfinished basement is already plumbed for a future bathroom, offering an excellent opportunity to expand the finished living space, create a recreation room, or add additional guest accommodations while still providing ample storage. Outdoor living is just as inviting, with a spacious front porch that's perfect for entertaining, gathering with friends, or dining al fresco. Covered rear decks on both levels provide the ideal place to unwind while taking in the long-range mountain views, and the lower deck is already wired for a hot tub. The property also features beautiful landscaping, an oversized one-car garage with extra depth, abundant parking with both upper and lower driveways, and paved access all the way to the property for easy year-round enjoyment. Lovingly maintained by the same owner since 2002, this cabin has been thoughtfully updated over the years, including a metal roof (2024), HVAC system (2020), and new carpeting (2025), offering peace of mind for years to come. Located in the sought-after gated River Ridge community, you're just minutes from the New River, where outdoor recreation is at your doorstep. High Country Expeditions and Mill Camp Winery are only a short drive away, while downtown Boone, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences are less than 20 minutes away. Although this cabin has never been used as a vacation rental, it offers all the ingredients of a successful mountain getaway. Its timeless log cabin aesthetic, desirable four-bedroom layout, abundant parking, long-range views, and proximity to countless outdoor recreation opportunities make it an excellent opportunity as a vacation rental, second home, or full-time residence. For those seeking the High Country lifestyle, this is a place where every day feels like a vacation.
