Property Description
Imagine owning your own private stretch of riverfront where mornings begin with a cup of coffee on the deck and a short walk down to the water with your fly rod. The home was engineered with an elevation certificate rising 30 feet above the river and minimizing any risk. The North Pacolet River, stocked by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission with rainbow and brown trout, flows directly through the property, offering fishing, swimming, and peaceful exploration just steps from your front door.
At night, open the windows and listen to the gentle sound of water moving over smooth mountain stones as cool mountain air drifts through the cabin. It's the kind of place where time slows down and nature sets the rhythm of the day.
Set on just over two private wooded acres, this farmhouse-inspired log cabin is crafted from large hand-hewn logs and designed to embrace the surrounding mountain landscape. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams create a dramatic lodge-style atmosphere, while warm wood interiors and expansive windows bring the outdoors inside.
The home features two bedrooms, two full baths, and a spacious sleeping loft, allowing the property to comfortably accommodate additional guests. The main living area centers around a wood-burning fireplace, creating the perfect setting for cozy evenings after a day spent on the river.
Step outside to the expansive deck overlooking the water, where the sights and sounds of the river create an unforgettable mountain living experience.
Additional features include:
• Proven short-term rental with established 5-star guest history
• Private river frontage on the North Pacolet River
• Five-zone mini-split HVAC system with individual temperature control
• Constant hot water system
• Two wood-burning fireplaces
• Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams
• Expansive outdoor entertaining deck overlooking the river
• Private wooded acreage providing exceptional privacy
Located just minutes from the charming mountain town of Saluda, this property offers easy access to Pearson's Falls, the scenic Highway 176 corridor, and the shops, restaurants, and galleries of both Saluda and nearby Tryon.
Whether used as a private mountain retreat, second home, or income-producing short-term rental, opportunities combining river frontage, acreage, privacy, and established rental performance are increasingly rare in the Saluda market.
This is more than a home — it's a place where a river truly runs through it.
