677 Ridgetop Cir, Whittier, NC 28789

This recently completed 2025 log cabin pairs authentic mountain character with modern, worry‑free finishes. At roughly 1,200 sqft the plan is smartly scaled: the open great room soars with tongue‑and‑groove vaulted ceilings and centers around a corner stacked‑stone gas fireplace — a natural gathering spot for conversations and evenings. The kitchen is well‑appointed with butcher‑block counters, stainless appliances, abundant cabinetry and an island that opens to the dining area so hosting is effortless.

The primary suite is generous for a cabin this size and includes vaulted ceiling treatment, a dual‑vanity granite bath, and direct access to the covered wraparound porch — a prime location for early‑morning coffee or stargazing. A second bedroom and an additional full bath serve guests, while a large laundry/storage room with a gas tankless water heater handles the week‑to‑week needs and storage of outdoor gear.

Outside, the property rests on ~2.30 acres of wooded, sloping land that provides summer privacy and seasonal winter mountain views. Durable exterior selections — including a metal roof and low‑maintenance siding — reduce upkeep and protect long‑term value. The gated Ridgetop community features paved roads and sensible restrictions; the driveway and dedicated parking pads offer easy guest access and room for multiple vehicles. A dedicated firepit area adds a classic mountain amenity for evenings with family or renters.

Location is a core advantage: minutes from Harrah’s Cherokee and the restaurants/amenities of the Cherokee corridor, with ready access to hiking, fishing and scenic routes across the Great Smoky Mountains. Whether you’re buying this as a vacation rental, second home, or full‑time mountain residence, the clean, turnkey condition and thoughtful finishes make it market‑ready from day one.
