This genuine log cabin might pay for itself! The three-level home includes a walk-out garden apartment on the lower level (with it's own driveway and parking), plus a charming apartment above the two-car garage. Less than four miles north of Rutherfordton, well-priced at $532,000.
The one-bedroom apartment in the lower level can be accessed using a separate driveway and keypad entrance. It includes features like washer & dryer connections, a full-sized refrigerator, a walk-in closet, and it's heated and cooled by the main, central unit (additional heat and a/c could installed to maximize individual comfort). Sound absorbing insulation between the upper and lower levels of the cabin provide peace & quiet between levels.
The other one-bedroom apartment sitting above the large two-car garage is charming! With it's beautiful interior finishes, ample closets and abundance of natural lighting, it's perfect for visiting family, or maybe short-term / long term rentals. "Mini-splits" efficiently heat and cool the space. Built five years ago, this was initially used as a corporate rental by the previous owner, and has since enjoyed several upgrades with paint, window treatments, lighting, flooring, doors, etc.
The log cabin itself features a wrap-around screened porch and deck with pleasing views, greatly enhancing your living space in this four-season climate. Step inside to a cheery fire during the colder months (from the beautiful stacked-stone fireplace). During the summer months and in-between, you'll probably also take advantage of the gazebo, offering a beautiful spot in the private garden with shade and retractable screens.
Inside and upstairs you'll find the primary bedroom with an en suite and walk-in closet, adjacent to the large, extra living space offered by the loft. The bedroom on the main floor (currently used as an office) is large enough to use as a primary if desired. In the kitchen you'll find expansive granite counter tops, an undermount sink, and the door leading to the basement. The access has an optional insulation panel to further reduce any potential noise between the two living areas.
There's room to park an RV off the lower gravel drive, and you'll find the 22'x28' garage has plenty of room for storage, vehicles, w&d, a sink, and room left over for tools. The log cabin was built by Lakeside Builders in 2006, on a Superior Wall foundation. The septic system was upgraded to a four-bedroom system (rated for eight adults, full time) in 2019, pumped in 2025, and the a/c & heat pump was replaced in 2015. A new roof was put on the house in 2023.
