Discover a thoughtfully designed three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bathroom log home on over 24 acres in the gated Laurel Falls community, which provides off-grid living in harmony with nature. Built for sustainability, this home features an exact solar south orientation, and the main living area has south-facing glass and thermal mass, so it retains warmth in winter and stays cool in summer. Radiant floor heating and a wood stove that heats the entire home provide additional warmth. The property is a nature enthusiast’s dream with its wooded surroundings, scenic trails, and a gazebo with breathtaking northern views, including the Blue Ridge Parkway. Wildlife abounds, and deer, turkeys, grouse, and even black bears are frequently seen in the yard. The landscape is adorned with wild azaleas, rhododendrons, daisies, daylilies, and peonies, complemented by a striking strawberries-and-cream hydrangea near the back porch. Seasonal harvests include blueberries from the backyard and blackberries from the garden, with organic garden spaces ready for cultivation. Bordering over 6,000 acres of protected National Forest Service lands in Panthertown Valley — often called the Yosemite of the East — the property offers unparalleled outdoor opportunities and preserves its natural beauty through a conservation easement on rock outcroppings and ledges. Relax on the front porch, back deck, or gazebo and enjoy cool breezes, mountain vistas, and a stunning night sky complete with views of the Milky Way. Energy efficiency is enhanced by two 4-by-8 hot water panels that supplement the domestic hot water supply and home heating system. Commissioned in 2022, the solar power system was upgraded with new batteries in early 2024 and has a 10-year warranty. The home also features a buried 1,000-gallon propane tank, refilled approximately every two years, and propane-powered appliances, which include a stove, clothes dryer, and hot water system. Such energy-efficient living extends to the home’s everyday conveniences, with a standard refrigerator and regular 110-volt outlets that ensure comfortable living. Conveniently located near Cashiers and Lake Glenville, this property combines eco-conscious living with serene beauty, making it a peaceful retreat surrounded by nature.
