About this home

Featuring a rare 3-bedroom layout PLUS a dedicated full bonus room for maximum guest capacity and rental yield, the "Unwind Cabin" is the ultimate turnkey short-term rental opportunity in the exclusive, gated community of Wolf Laurel Estates. Positioned at a breathtaking elevation of 4,000+ feet on a private, 0.79-acre wooded lot, this site-built retreat offers an unmatched floor plan. sold FULLY FURNISHED, it pairs high-end mountain design with flexible living spaces including that valuable lower-level bonus room that works as an extra sleeping quarter, bunk space, home office, or media lounge to dramatically boost your investment returns from day one.

From the moment you arrive, the cabin's enchanting curb appeal and warm exterior lighting set the stage. Step inside to an expansive, sun-drenched open floor plan with rich wood flooring and a soaring vaulted ceiling anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The chef-inspired kitchen centers around a functional island and breakfast bar, flowing seamlessly into a dining area complete with a viewing telescope to watch the clouds roll past. Just off the dining area, the den has been transformed into the ultimate game room featuring a second stone fireplace, vaulted wood ceilings, vibrant murals, arcade games, and ample seating.

The main level primary suite is a true private retreat, featuring a walk-in closet, direct upper deck access, and a spa-like en-suite bathroom with a large garden tub and separate walk-in shower.

Downstairs, the fully finished walk-out basement maximizes the home's functional square footage with a secondary family room, a spacious third bedroom, a full bathroom, laundry, and the star feature: the versatile bonus room, giving guests or owners the extra space that sets this cabin apart from typical mountain rentals.

The outdoor living is equally sensational, featuring multi-level covered decks built for year-round enjoyment. Take in panoramic, long-range mountain views from the top-deck hot tub, or step down to the lower deck for the ultimate wellness perk: a private, barrel-shaped outdoor sauna. Both decks come outfitted with string lights and cozy hanging swing chairs.

Located in Mars Hill, NC, Wolf Laurel Estates provides premier community amenities including a fitness center, pool, golf course, tennis courts, hiking trails, a pond, and is less than a mile from the Hatley Pointe ski slopes! Complete with a 1-car attached garage, zero city taxes, and flawless maintenance, this high-performing property is ready to generate income or serve as your dream mountain sanctuary.

A rough rule — actual qualification depends on your full debt picture, credit, and the lender. Christy can introduce you to lenders she trusts.

Numbers are a directional estimate. Actual monthly cost varies by lender, credit, taxes assessed at closing, and insurance carrier. This is not a loan offer or pre-approval.
