Why they chose this property
I was looking to build an all wooden cabin with modern conveniences in a location that provided the best long range mountain views The Smokey Mountains had to offer, yet close to places to go for dining and activities. Southern Ashe County, 20 minutes from Boone, and close to West Jefferson, was the ideal place.
What makes this property unique
Privacy, Long Range panoramic views of The Great Smoky Mountains from 3800 feet.
