Murphy, NC REAL LOG Mountain Retreat

Undeniably one of the most unique properties in the area, this stunning 4 bedroom, 4 bath log home sits majestically on a point lot with an unobstructed year-round view of  Lake Appalachia and the mountains of the southwestern end of the Nantahala National Forest.  You arrive at your mountain retreat passing through a rustic gated development - Wilderness Lake Estates and then passing through your own private gated entrance giving you the ultimate in mountain seclusion.

Leave your stresses behind as you pass the koi pond leading up to your covered front porch entry.  Step inside and you will find a well restored masterpiece.  The massive great room features a wood burning fireplace, dining area, wet bar and walls of triple-paned windows to put the lake and mountains almost at your fingertips.  Lovingly restored hardwood floors, wood walls and overhead beams add to the rustic mountain feel while soaring cathedral ceilings give you plenty of breathing room.  Want to get even closer to the outdoors, there's a full length covered rocking chair porch great for sipping a hot cup of cocoa on a cool fall evening watching the geese fly low over the lake.

When you get tired of soaking up the beautiful view,the gourmet kitchen may could easily become your second favorite spot in the house.  Hardwood floors, custom cabinet and a large center island give you and your guests or family plenty of room to gather and enjoy the events of the day while not just preparing meals but making memories.

Just off the kitchen you will find the main floor master suite with private bath.  This area is warm and inviting after a full day of enjoying all the fun outdoor activities the area has to offer.  There's also a guest bath with clawfoot tub.  The laundry area is conveniently located on this floor as well.

Take the stairs up out of the great room and you will find the second master suite equally inviting with warm wood walls, a sitting area and a large bath.  Whether you choose to claim the main or upper floor suite as your own, you will find plenty of room to unwind and enjoy your retreat.

The lower level will be the area where your friends and family will want to gather.  It features a second great room with fireplace, a second wet bar and a pool table.  Sliding glass doors on this level open onto a stone deck where your hot tub overlooks the lake.  There are two guest rooms, a full bath and a walk-in safe.

Bring the toys along, there's a detached 4-car garage with plenty of room for the car, SUV, boat, motorcycles, jet ski - you name it!

When you're ready to put the boat in the water, Wilderness Lake Estates has a common area and boat slip on the lake.
