A picture is worth a thousand words ; so watch the virtual tour below. $875,000

Click for a Visual Tour Click on this photo to watch the Virtual Tour!!

Click on this link http://www.mountainheritage.com/listings/l0006.htmlfor complete photos and information about this Log Home near Waynesville.

  • 4 Suites
  • Outstanding Views of the mountains
  • Gracious Kitchen for entertaining (with Butlers Pantry)
  • Huge workshop in basement
  • Master on Main
  • Interesting Archetectural features and massive Log accents

Welcome
This sophisticated rustic Log Home shows a tasteful use of natural materials combined with refined wood, polished granite and delightful fixtures.

The Logs
You will notice the beautiful 12”, 14”, and 16” round accent logs are hand peeled and are used as accents around the house.
9” round Barna Logs are used in the construction.

The View
The views wrap around the home on all sides. The house orients to the most dramatic sightings with a 270° degree long range view, but the remainder of the 360° degree view is pastoral and mountainous.

The Setting
This small neighborhood, The Glens of Ironduff, provides easy year round access with paved streets and year round neighbors as well. The knoll top setting shows off the house to its’ best advantage. The wide open views surround the house. There is small but charming creek on the border of the property in a peaceful wooded ravine of big oaks.

The 2.419 acres affords privacy as well as views. The house overlooks a neighbor but no houses feel like they overlook this home. There are neighbors but not right on top of each other.

In General
The quality of construction is evident in all areas of the home. The Barna Logs are upgraded to 9 inch round logs. The thermal pane windows on the main level are sliders that can be opened up like a screen room. There is a Mission theme that runs through out; that seems to blend with the logs without being too fussy. Solid wood beams and hand peeled accent posts offer support in some of the most visible areas of the home. The foyer makes a grand statement and is reminiscent of an indoor forest. The natural tone of the massive log trees adds a unique quality through out.

Approximately 5600 square feet heated
2005 completion, nearly new
4 Bedrooms and 4½ Baths plus a second half bath in the workshop, and a Media room upstairs

Rounded archways lead to Sunroom

The Fireplace
The fireplace is masonry hand built for use with wood or as a gas log burning fireplace. This masonry construction is hard to find in today’s new construction. The unit is equipped with a turn key for the gas (off or on). There is the option to remove the gas logs and burn wood, according to the owner. The fireplace is constructed of stacked stone from the floor to the ceiling, up two stories high.

The Kitchen
A very large area encompasses the kitchen and dining. Heavily beamed ceilings, windows to the view, and French doors to the porch open the kitchen to the outdoors. The gas grill connections are conveniently located on the porch. Much thought went into the design and function of the kitchen.

Surprise! Housing Starts Surge (So how is Maggie Valley?)

WASHINGTON -- Housing construction posted a surprisingly large increase in February, bolstered by strength in all parts of the country except the West.

While the surge in construction was far better than the continued decline economists had expected, experts viewed the rebound as a temporary gain given all the problems the housing industry still faces.

The Commerce Department reported Tuesday that construction of new homes and apartments jumped 22.2 percent in February compared with January, pushing total activity to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 583,000 units. (By Martin Crutsinger - The Associated Press)

(Haywood County, NC) Maggie Valley has not seen the effects of this new construction surge. Many of these new starts appear to be in the rental/apartment sector. That is not the focus of our construction industry. We are focused on resort/second home sales.

We previewed a beautiful new Log construction in the Cove, today on caravan priced in the $600,000's. It is about 2/3 complete at this time. And i have a new home that is in foreclosure for sale - see complete details at: http://www.mountainheritage.com/listings/l0013.html

NC Foreclosures Down 50% in February (Maggie Valley, NC)

It is important to keep our eyes focused on the light at the end of the tunnel. Interpreting the news that we receive daily requires some filters. And I am hearing indicators that are beneficial to North Carolina. For instance...

While the rest of the country is reeling from an unexpected rise in foreclosure filings, the number of foreclosures in North Carolina fell 49.7 percent in February, according to data from RealtyTrac Inc..

The state had 2,039 foreclosures in February, with one in every 2,023 homeowners receiving a default notice, auction-sale notice or bank-repossession filing.

Foreclosure filings in North Carolina fell 14.5 percent in February from January.

Across the country, foreclosure filings rose nearly 30 percent last month from February 2008. There were 290,631 foreclosure filings, which affected one in every 440 U.S. households. Nevada, Arizona and California posted the top foreclosure rates in the country last year.

FDIC Foreclosures, Maggie Valley NC real estate

FDIC Foreclosures create a lot of activity in the Maggie Valley market. In fact these are the first ever FDIC foreclosures in Haywood County in recent history.

To be an FDIC foreclosure a property must be foreclosed upon by the Bank making the original loan. Then the Bank must be closed or placed in receivership. The FDIC then protects the assets as receiver and markets them to the public.

It is a time consuming and complicated process. The main advantage is the reduced pricing offered by the FDIC. This process does create interest. It seems many buyers are interested in purchasing; if they can get a ‘good buy’.

These 6 log cabins and the tract of land are top quality and in an attractive area. The prices are below market value.
