Experience unmatched privacy and sweeping 60-mile views of the Piedmont from this stunning 3-bed, 2.5-bath log cabin on 4.8 unrestricted acres—just 2 miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway. This rare, non-HOA property offers total seclusion without sacrificing convenience: only 30 minutes to Mt. Airy, and just over an hour to Winston-Salem, Blacksburg, Greensboro, and more. Fully upgraded in 2023 with a new HVAC system (warranty included), tankless propane water heater, and whole-house Generac generator, this home blends rustic charm with modern peace of mind. The exterior was professionally stripped and re-stained in late 2024, ensuring long-term beauty and durability. Currently a VRBO rental, the property offers exceptional income potential or can serve as your private mountain haven. With its unrivaled views, ideal location, and luxury upgrades, this is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a premier Blue Ridge escape. Home comes mostly furnished, with some exclusions.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
