This authentic log cabin sits on an exceptionally private, wooded parcel of approximately 5.23 acres just outside Monroe. Built in 2003 with classic log construction and a full wraparound porch, the home offers rustic character and practical living across a recorded 2,744 SF of main living area. The property’s standout feature is a full walk-out basement — roughly 1,685 SF of heated, finished-ready space that is roughed in for a bathroom and represents immediate expansion potential for living area, a guest suite, home office, or rental income.
Inside, the layout balances cozy cabin character with open, usable spaces. Exposed log walls, a central fireplace and wide-plank touches deliver the warm, tactile feel buyers seek in a log home while large rooms provide flexibility for modern living. The kitchen and primary living areas open toward the porch and wooded views; the basement adds a workshop-ready footprint and generous storage. Outside, the detached garage offers covered secure space for vehicles, equipment or a hobby shop — a rare and valuable amenity on acreage properties.
This property is ideal for buyers who want privacy without sacrificing access to services: Downtown Monroe and local amenities are a short drive away, and the Charlotte metro is within commuting distance for those who require city access. With no HOA, the land provides freedom to add outbuildings, create a garden, keep animals (subject to county rules), or simply enjoy the mature trees and open space. The listing includes an appraisal (recently cited at $775,000) and the home is priced to reflect both its current condition and meaningful upside if the basement and select systems are modernized.
Bring your vision: whether you want a turn-key country retreat, a finished multi-generational footprint, or a value-add project (finish the basement, update interiors), this property delivers scale, privacy and character in a market where acreage parcels are limited.
