A RARE opportunity to own a true Western North Carolina icon! This distinguished family home—constructed with logs transported from a cabin in Tennessee—is steeped in local history and timeless character. Long celebrated as a gathering place for the community, the property spans 4.5 picturesque acres, with the option to purchase additional surrounding land. Ideally located within walking distance of downtown Columbus, the charming seat of Polk County, and just minutes from I-26, this estate offers convenient access to Asheville, Greenville, SC, and three major airports—perfectly balancing historic appeal with modern accessibility. Step back in time and imagine the possibilities! Featuring five fireplaces, a magnificent hand-laid rock chimney, a slate roof, and wormy chestnut details, this residence showcases the masterful craftsmanship of a bygone era. A gas-fired boiler provides classic radiator heat throughout, preserving the home’s authentic warmth and charm. The original wood floors in the living area and kitchen have been recently refinished, revealing their rich natural beauty. The pastoral setting, combined with wooded privacy and sweeping grounds, creates endless potential. Restore it as a grand private residence, design a multi-generational compound, establish community living, or reimagine it as a boutique retreat or event venue. With your thoughtful updates and renovation, the opportunities are truly limited only by your imagination. This is your chance to own a piece of Polk County history and create a lasting family legacy. Property is being sold “as is.” Seller will make no repairs. (Tax records currently reflect 55 acres).
