A rare combination of end-of-road privacy, long-range mountain views, and 33.53+/- unrestricted acres, this Highlands-area log cabin offers the kind of usable mountain land that is increasingly difficult to find. Surrounded on two sides by USFS land, the property feels quiet and protected, with a private pond, ample parking, a cleared trail across Flat Mountain Rd, and multiple potential homesites where selective tree limbing or clearing could open additional view opportunities.
The 3-bedroom, 2-bath log cabin captures the character buyers seek in a true mountain retreat while offering the comfort and function needed for everyday use. Inside, warm wood walls, soaring ceilings, expansive windows, and layered natural textures create a relaxed, collected atmosphere. The great room is a dramatic yet welcoming gathering space, equally suited for intimate evenings or easy entertaining, with direct flow to a large deck wrapping three sides of the home. One side is covered and includes a porch swing, creating a quiet place to take in the ridgelines.
The main level includes two guest bedrooms, a shared full bath, a laundry room, and an open kitchen with stainless steel appliances. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a brand-new shower, walk-in closet, three attic access points for generous storage, and a small loft office area just outside the suite. The walkout basement adds meaningful flexibility, with a large unfinished area opening to a covered patio and a separate workshop with barn-style exterior doors for bringing equipment and materials in and out with ease.
With no HOA and no restrictions, the land invites a wide range of uses: create a private mountain compound, explore additional homesites, enjoy hiking, camping, gardening, hunting, or simply preserve the acreage as a quiet retreat surrounded by nature. The original house remains on the property and could offer renovation potential as a guest house or short-term rental. Approximately 15 minutes to Highlands and 30 minutes to Cashiers, the property offers access to dining, shopping, Saturday Music on Pine, Bear Shadow, Groovin' on the Green, Plein Air events, nearby trails, waterfalls, and the refined mountain lifestyle of the Plateau. Rare acreage with this setting is limited; schedule your private showing soon.
