Property Description

Nestled at the end of a long, tree-lined driveway, Twin Oaks Heritage Cabin is a charming, fully furnished 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom hand-hewn log cabin set on 3.95 peaceful acres along Muskrat Creek. Steeped in history, this 1800s treasure began as two separate cabins on a Tennessee plantation, professionally disassembled with every original log carefully numbered, then transported and reassembled into one unified home with an added second floor and bottom floor bedroom. Thoughtfully updated by its current owners, the cabin combines modern conveniences with the warmth of traditional log cabin living. Renovations include a completely new kitchen, new bathrooms on each floor — the main level shower featuring locally found Staurolite "Fairy Crystals" set into the pebble tile flooring — and a converted pantry and laundry room. Stay cozy with a wood-burning stove and efficient mini-splits, with a wood central furnace in the attached furnace room available as backup during inclement weather. Covered porches invite you to relax and take in the stunning mountain views, while the grounds tell a story all their own: a frog pond fed by a smaller creek teems with tadpoles each spring, live Christmas trees planted over the years dot the landscape, and productive red raspberry vines, asparagus spears, and a generous bed of garlic return faithfully each season. The property also features a gray-stained 27x24 detached garage/workshop (built 2023), an outbuilding, and a metal carport. With approximately 500 feet of frontage on Muskrat Creek — a flowing trout stream originating from the upper mountain range — level terrain, and unrestricted land surrounded by mountain views, this is a must-see in person to truly appreciate its charm and timeless beauty. A complete property history and feature list are available upon request. Don't miss this opportunity to own a truly unique mountain retreat!
