Property Description

Tranquil Log Cabin Retreat with Stunning Mountain Views Nestled within the private, gated community of Grants Mountain, 1516 Mountain Crest offers the ideal blend of modern comfort, rustic charm, and year-round mountain views. This turn-key, beautifully maintained log cabin is a rare find—perfect for those seeking a full-time mountain residence or a peaceful second home. Currently a successful vacation rental! Thoughtfully designed for both relaxation and entertaining, this single-level home features three spacious en-suite bedrooms, including a primary suite with a king-sized bed, walk-in shower, and private TV. The two guest suites each offer queen beds and private baths—one with a walk-in shower and the other with a shower/tub combo. At the heart of the home is a chef’s kitchen with an eat-in dining area for six, overlooking a warm and inviting living room. Enjoy cozy nights by the gas log fireplace, unwind with your favorite streaming shows on the 55” Smart TV, or work comfortably from the dedicated remote work nook. Step outside to experience the true magic of this home: a private, covered back deck with unobstructed views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Featuring two classic porch swings, outdoor dining space, and a gas grill, it's an ideal setting for enjoying every season. Just off the deck is a charming wood-burning fire pit, perfect for stargazing and storytelling under the certified dark skies of Grants Mountain—a designated IDA (International Dark Sky) community. A large two-car garage adds even more functionality, offering ample space for parking, extra storage, or a workshop area—a rare and valuable feature for mountain living. The property offers a unique combination of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience. Located just 15 minutes from downtown Marion, I-40, and local amenities like Walmart Supercenter, you're never far from everything you need. For outdoor adventurers and day-trippers, the home is centrally located to some of Western North Carolina’s most scenic and beloved destinations.
