When you pull into the driveway, you will enter a secluded, tree-lined oasis. A short walk down the plant-lined stone walkway to the front porch boasting pine log columns, you will enter the front door into the main room of this 2,700+ sq foot modern log farmhouse. There you will be greeted by vaulted wood and beam ceilings, hardwood plank floors, comfortable living and dining spaces, a spacious fully-equipped kitchen and a spectacular wood burning stove seated on a large stone hearth. The main room was originally a small cabin built in the 1930s, and its timeless charm shines through to today. From the main room you can step out onto the large wrap-around deck and enjoy outdoor dining or cocktails or a tranquil morning coffee. From this part of the deck, you can also enjoy a mountain top view, especially in the winter months.

Continue on through the main room into the modern-day portion of the home where you will find a large hallway bathroom featuring a granite double vanity and a large tile and glass shower. Located near the hallway bathroom is a bedroom with a luxurious king bed and lots of windows to enjoy natural light and views of the outside. This bedroom has a walk-in closet and a 43-inch smart TV in case you find yourself wanting to lounge in privacy or drift off to the sounds of your favorite show.

At the far end of the hallway you will find the cavernous master suite with its heavily beamed ceiling and 2 queen beds. This room includes comfortable seating areas, a 55-inch smart TV and a large walk-in closet. This bedroom also features 2 full ensuite private bathrooms – one on each side of the master closet. The first full bathroom has a vanity, toilet and soaking tub, and the other full bathroom has a vanity, toilet and large tile and glass shower. This bedroom is ideal for families and is large enough to also accommodate air mattresses or sleeping bags for little guests or a pack and play. From the master suite you can access the wrap-around deck and make your way out to the firepit or the pool.

Situated between the two downstairs bedrooms is a private office with a built-in desk, shelves and drawers with a wireless printer. If by some misfortune you require a place to work in peace and quiet during your getaway (hopefully for only a brief time), this is your workplace retreat.

Before heading upstairs, you will pass through the nook located at the stairway landing. The nook has a charming wooden built-in single bed adorned with bookshelves. This bed is perfect for the little adventurer in your family or the solo teenager or adult. Here in the nook the kids can also relax apart from the grown-ups and read or play board games or the Xbox on the 43-inch smart TV. From the nook you can access the wrap-around deck outside.
Venturing upstairs you will find another spacious bedroom with an ensuite full bathroom and king bed. This large bedroom has a comfortable seating area where you can relax with a book or your tablet, and another 43-inch smart TV for your private viewing pleasure. Across the upstairs landing is the bunk room with 2 single beds, each with a pullout trundle bed. The bunkroom is perfect for the younger members of the family to hang out and “bunk up” for memorable times together.

When you're ready to venture outside the home and explore the property, fun and adventure awaits! Enjoy splashing or soaking in the heated in-ground swimming pool or just lounge around and enjoy the sun and the calm mountain breezes. Hangout by the firepit and enjoy the crackling fire and make s'mores with the family. Head over to the garage game room and enjoy hours of fun playing ping pong, foosball, pop-a-shot basketball or electronic darts. Visit the enclosed raised-bed garden and snip some fresh herbs to enjoy with your dinner. Or amble on over to the hammock and relax with a book or simply nod off to the sounds of the outdoors.

This stunning property essentially has it all. Aptly named as a true oasis of relaxation, Mountain Laurel Oasis is a true luxury getaway designed to provide memorable vacations for all ages and groups.

Mountain Laurel Oasis was built as a second/vacation home, and has been entertaining travelers for years and has very quickly become one of the most popular homes in our Yonder luxury portfolio. It is not surprising when you put a terrific estate property and log home together with a simply spectacular property, outdoor spaces, swimming pool and other amenities.

While the log home is only a 3-bedroom, it was built for "family vacations", and the gathering of groups, so additional sleeping areas were constructed to allow for plenty of kids, and/or multiple generations. The layout offers full privacy for adults, with spaces suitable for lots of children.

You are just minutes from America's favorite scenic byway, The Blue Ridge Parkway, motorcycle touring, biking, hiking, white water rafting, rock climbing, kayaking, canoeing, zip lining, Segway tour…just about any outdoor activity! Or, take a quick ride to downtown Asheville to enjoy the first-rate restaurants, shopping, galleries, spas, and entertainment. Looking for something a little quainter? Take the short drive down to Hendersonville or Brevard and take in the small mountain delights. The options and possibilities from this location are endless…
