It's back on the market! Don't miss out again. Escape to your own private mountain retreat at 4559 Laurel Creek Road in Banner Elk. Nestled among towering hardwoods and overlooking the bold waters of Laurel Creek, this charming fully furnished log cabin offers the perfect blend of rustic character, modern comfort, and proven investment potential. Warm wood interiors, soaring vaulted ceilings, and expansive windows create an inviting atmosphere filled with natural light. The spacious great room is still cozy with a wood burning fireplace while the open living, dining, and kitchen areas make relaxing and entertaining effortless. The one-bedroom layout features a generously sized primary suite with a spa-inspired bath complete with dual vanities, a large jetted soaking tub, separate shower, and private deck access. This is a popular honeymoon spot. Step outside to enjoy covered front and rear porches, unwind in the private hot tub overlooking the creek, or simply listen to the peaceful sounds of rushing water from your secluded wooded setting. Contract fell through when buyer could not secure satisfactory financing. From an inspection by a licensed contractor the following issues were identified: leaks from metal roof/chimney, possible mold presence, shower drain leak, electric panel capacity (potentially if AC is added), hot tub deck, erosion around foundation/water intrusion into crawl space, foundation crack. Seller is getting estimates which can be shared with potential buyers.
