Log home for sale by owner. Privacy and tranquility awaits you in this rustic log home nestled in the woods on 4.4 acres. Located in the small, friendly community of Leicester just minutes from downtown Asheville, NC, the home is on a dead-end road just 1/2 mile off the main road and set approximately 50 yards back from the road with a circular driveway for easy entrance and exit. The nearly 1600 sq. ft. home has 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, a great room/kitchen, large den, laundry room. Lots of windows in each room plus high ceilings to give a very open feeling.  This is nature at its best with abundance of flora and fauna. There are huge azaleas, native rhododendrons, hostas, lilies, forsythia, crepe myrtle, lilacs, butterfly bushes and more....grape vines and cherry trees for your enjoyment and lots of room and great soil for a nice vegetable garden. You will enjoy the coziness of the large fireplace (gas or wood) on a cool evening or lounge by/splash in the inground pool on warm summer days (new liner Sept. 09, new loop lock winter cover 2009) and cook out on the large back deck. The back yard gets full sun and the pool stays a very comfortable temperature. You will enjoy watching the family of hummingbirds feed just outside the kitchen window. Quail come for feeding about dusk each evening. The back yard is entirely enclosed with chain link fencing and gates leading out to the woods where there is a nice walking/running trail, a quiet place to get away and read a book , listen to the birds (even had wild turkey) or hang a hammock and nap away the afternoon. The house is heated by either gas (central) or electric baseboard heat (individual thermostats each room). The warmest days are cooled with central air conditioning. Laminate and tile flooring throughout. Metal roof is 3 years old. Private well and septic. There is a 2-car carport with concrete flooring.  Living in this cozy home is like being on vacation year round or would make a great summer home. Of course, you wouldn't want to miss being here when the leaves are turning....it is just too beautiful!
