Escape to a time and place where family is at the forefront and the concerns of the wider world melt away. Constructed in 2003, by Clifford Loveday of Loveday Builders, this magnificent log home was custom designed and features a superior build. The home was constructed using solid, round stacked logs instead of the common frame with log siding. Conceptualized as a retreat with spaces that promote ''togetherness'' the design features an extended great room and five bedrooms, all with sweeping mountain views, to comfortably accommodate up to 18 people. The effectiveness of the design is also highlighted by the home's successful history as a rental property. As you approach via the long drive, enjoy a fantastic location very close to Smokey Mountain National Park with captivating mountain views from every major room in the home. Grand and cozy - just as a cabin should be, find an intuitive layout with thoughtful design finishes and beautiful custom features throughout. Convene for a game of cards or simply sit and swap stories around the roaring stack stone fireplace, in the impressive great room. Vaulted ceilings, a pine hewn mantel and large windows which frame stunning views of the mountains and scenic landscape, are just a few of the details which render this space so impressive. The huge open kitchen and spacious adjoining dining room are equally conducive to entertaining. Teal cabinets add beautiful contrast while generous counter space, a convenient breakfast bar and lots of storage make meal preparation easy. Linger over a delicious meal and engaging conversation at the large family table. The only bedroom on the main floor, the luxurious master bedroom boasts lovely French doors leading out to the deck and a wonderful spa style ensuite bath with jetted soaking tub and walk-in shower. On the second level, a cozy loft looks out over the great room and is a wonderful space for curling up with a book or playing a game of cards. Two bedrooms are found on this floor, each with unique character, private bath, and elevated landscape views. Challenge someone to a game of pool in the lower level game room, centered around a beautiful stack stone fireplace, or find a comfortable spot and settle in to watch your favorite show in the fantastic media room. Two more bedrooms are located on either side of the game room, and boast lovely ensuite baths. Outside, two levels of fantastic wrap around decks provide plenty of opportunity to simply sit and take in the beauty of the natural landscape. Relax with a drink or gather in the covered hot tub to savor a quiet moment. Situated on a relatively flat lot, which is rare for a site in the mountains, the large lawn provides an ideal spot for a game of soccer or football. This magnificent property offers the opportunity to retreat to a time and place where life is much simpler. This a home meant for gathering, sharing, and spending time together - a legacy meant to be enjoyed for generations to come.
