Leave the noise and compromise behind with this 2-bed, 3-bath furnished log cabin retreat on a wooded 1-acre lot tucked within a quiet neighborhood that has paved roads for walking and biking. End-of-road privacy, a creekside setting, and a boat dock providing access to your own 3-acre lake fed by three freshwater springs create a mountain escape perfect for swimming, fishing and kayaking that guests will want to return to. The vaulted great room and kitchen pair warm wood ceilings and floors with a fireplace and island designed for easy entertaining, while the finished basement adds a family/game room and bonus rooms for guests, hobbies, or extra sleeping space. All three baths offer double vanities, and the primary suite includes a jetted jacuzzi and a walk-in closet. The backside of the home opens to a porch, deck, or balcony on every level overlooking the lake, with gradual wide steps from the lower-level walkout leading to the waterside firepit and fishing pier. Whole-house water filtration and established short-term rental history add practical value, making this a turnkey personal retreat or income-producing escape near Murphy. For added privacy or future possibilities, the adjacent 1.53-acre lot is also available for purchase at $34,800.
