About the property
Chalet-Style Log Home with Sweeping Long-Range Mountain Views
What strikes you first at 670 Damons Trail is the artisanal log construction and the view — a long-range mountain panorama that frames life here. Touring the property, you immediately sense the deliberate hillside siting: the chalet silhouette rises from 0.74 wooded acres, offering privacy while orienting living spaces to capture the vista. The home’s scale is deceptively generous; cathedral and vaulted ceilings give volume to the main living areas, and multiple gathering rooms mean there’s space for quiet evenings and larger groups alike.
Inside, the layout reads like a mountain house meant for both guests and everyday living. A cozy living room centered on a fireplace invites conversation, while a separate great room and dedicated family room provide flexible options for media, dining, or a work-from-home nook. The slab-built structure includes a full finished basement with its own exterior entrance — excellent for privacy, rental separation, or hobby space. Practical updates and comfortable finishes are present throughout, and the home is being offered fully furnished and turnkey.
Outdoor living is a strength here: a screened porch, expansive deck and covered porch step down to a patio and fire pit, with a private hot tub area tucked into the landscape. There’s storage and a small playground area for kids. A standout feature is the double detached garage with an engineered bonus room and game room above — perfect for guests, studio use, or additional rental income.
Currently operating as a successful short-term rental, this property presents both an idyllic mountain lifestyle and a ready-made revenue stream. Located less than 20 minutes from Murphy for shopping and dining and about 15 minutes from the riverfront restaurants and shops of McCaysville/Copperhill, it balances peaceful seclusion with convenient access to regional attractions. Whether you seek a full-time mountain residence, a weekend escape, or a turnkey investment, this chalet delivers a rare combination of setting, flexibility, and proven income potential.

Editorial market perspective
This offering is competitively positioned against the property's Redfin-derived valuation: list price $349,900 matches the estimated value midpoint ($349,900) and a price-per-square-foot near $176, which signals alignment between seller expectations and automated market estimates. In the greater Murphy/Cherokee County market, buyers often prioritize turnkey, income-producing mountain homes; properties that arrive fully furnished and operating as short-term rentals typically see stronger interest from investors and second-home buyers. Rural mountain inventory tends to be smaller than in metropolitan areas, so well-presented, turnkey chalet-style homes can move more quickly when priced in line with valuations. For owner-occupiers, the full finished basement and detached garage with living space above add value and rental flexibility. Given the property's proven Airbnb track record, buyers should evaluate seasonal occupancy and operating numbers, but the combination of privacy, views, and proximity to Murphy and the McCaysville/Copperhill riverfront makes this a timely opportunity for those seeking lifestyle or income potential in the North Carolina mountains.
