On 7.76 wooded acres between Wilkesboro and West Jefferson with access to scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, this fully furnished log residence, known as Doe Mountain Lodge, offers an exceptional blend of investment opportunity and tranquil mountain living. The views are spectacular! Modeled after Rusty Wallace’s mountain retreat, the home features three bedrooms with en suites across the main and upper levels. The open floor plan includes a spacious living area, a dining space ideal for entertaining and an updated kitchen equipped for gatherings. The finished lower level expands the home’s livable space with a large family room, two flexible bonus rooms, a full bath and access to a heated workshop. Outdoor features include a fire pit and a private trail leading to a stream and lower portion of the property. Concrete, ceramic tile and wood flooring flow throughout. Operating as a successful short-term rental, Doe Mountain Lodge conveys fully furnished with minor exclusions. The retaining wall, which sustained damage from Hurricane Helene, is under contracted repair by Casey Reece Landscaping, with completion expected in July 2025. An engineering report confirms the property’s structural integrity. The seller is offering a $15,000 concession toward repairs for window seals and log staining.
