Perched among the ridgelines of western North Carolina, this stunning 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath cabin in the gated community of Pisgah Preserve delivers the perfect blend of upscale craftsmanship and mountain serenity — all just minutes from the sparkling shores of Lake James. Built in 2019 and sitting on nearly 2 acres of pristine mountain land, this 1,421 sq ft retreat offers jaw-dropping, panoramic views of iconic Shortoff Mountain that never get old, whether you're sipping morning coffee on the deck or watching the alpenglow fade at dusk. Every detail has been curated with care, from the quality construction and open-concept living areas to the warm, inviting aesthetic that makes this property feel like a true mountain sanctuary. And it's being sold fully furnished — just bring your bags. The unfinished basement, already plumbed for a bathroom, offers significant upside to finish as a guest suite, bunk room, or game room. Pisgah Preserve features scenic walking trails, a charming reading cabin, and a picnic area — everything you need to embrace the mountain lifestyle without sacrificing privacy or security. Minutes from Lake James State Park for boating, kayaking, and hiking, and just an hour from Asheville and roughly 1.5 hours from Charlotte, the location is hard to beat. Linville Gorge, the "Grand Canyon of the East," is practically at your doorstep. Approved for short-term rentals and turnkey ready, this cabin is primed to perform as a vacation rental from day one — or simply serve as the mountain escape you've always dreamed of.
