What makes your home a Green or Healthy Home?

This home was built using time tested building techniques and is extremely strong and sturdy with no hazardous materials used at any stage of construction. This home was built to exacting standards to be totally independant from outside needs for shelter, energy, water, defense and food production. The overly large storage facilities insure ample space for whatever you might decide you need to store.

Property Description

PRICED JUST REDUCED BY $30,000 This beautiful and homey log cabin was designed by acclaimed green architect Robert Prud'Homme. The tongue-in-groove, kiln dried white pine logs lend a very warm and secure feeling to this cabin. Solar PV panels on the roof provide power to charge the 9 AGM batteries that power the lights and inverters inside the cabin. A green enameled cast iron gas log stove provides heat in the winter and lends warm ambiance on cold winter days. Water at the cabin is all gravity pressure from a year round, crystal clear spring located on the mountain above the cabin. This property is located in the heart of the Blue Ridge Mountains 15 minutes from Penland School, a world renowned artist school/enclave. The two loft bedrooms upstairs are cozy and comfortable. The main floor downstairs seamlessly blends the living room, dining area and kitchen into one large room. The expansive and unique covered front porch affords great views of the surrounding mountains and brings you in contact with the beautiful scenery that surrounds the cabin. A large drive-under carport allows you to bring your vehicle into the shade during warm summer days and provides shelter during snowy or rainy days. The property has several other possible building sites and driveable access to all parts of the property including drive access to the river. There is approximately 800 ft. of private and secure river frontage with black walnut trees and stately sycamores growing in profusion. There is a canoe ramp and stairs that lead down into the river and a large flat maintained area at river's edge for campfires or camping. The sparkling clear North Toe River is one of the few undammed mountain rivers that flows west out of North Carolina into Tennessee and from there into the great Missippi River. You can swim, canoe, fish or float down this beautiful river in an inner tube. This is one of the last unspoiled areas of beauty that has not been developed. This type of property only becomes available about once in a generation. Besides the cabin location there are several more, easily accesible building sites on this property including a stunning, south facing site on a bluff overlooking the river below and mountain vistas in the distance. There are also two earth bermed storage containers buried into the side of the mountain with just the doors exposed. These are used for storage. PRICE REDUCED!!!!
