Tucked away on nearly 30 private acres in Efland, this stunning Southland log cabin is the real deal--blending authentic craftsmanship with a full top-to-bottom renovation completed in 2023. Now offered at an improved price--this is a rare opportunity to secure a fully renovated log home with acreage and future potential. Originally built in 2000, the home has been completely reimagined with all new electrical, plumbing, roof, HVAC, water heater, whole-house humidifier, Pella windows and doors, smart appliances, and freshly resealed exterior logs--giving you the feel of new construction while preserving the warmth and character of a true log home. A full-length covered front porch welcomes you in and offers the perfect spot to relax and take in the peaceful surroundings. Inside, the main living area is open, bright, and inviting, with soaring windows, sliding glass doors, and custom accent lighting that highlights the natural wood tones. Double sliders lead out to the partially covered back porch, creating an easy indoor-outdoor flow that's perfect for entertaining or unwinding. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring Fantasy Brown granite countertops, a large center island, soft-close wood cabinetry, and smart appliances--including a Wi-Fi-enabled oven you can preheat on your way home. The primary suite feels like a true retreat, complete with a spa-like bathroom offering a walk-in shower, soaking tub, dual vanities, and a custom walk-in closet. Large windows and direct access to the back porch give it a peaceful, treehouse-like feel. Upstairs, a loft-style hallway overlooks the living room below and connects two generously sized bedrooms along with a full bath featuring dual sinks. The walk-out basement opens to a patio beneath the deck, and with an Orange County permit already approved to finish the space and add a full bath, it presents a great opportunity to build instant equity. (Basement square footage is not included in the total heated living area.) Outside, the property continues to impress with a 2-car garage with an insulated loft, fresh concrete work including the patio, sidewalks, and front apron, a gated entrance for added privacy, and an RV hookup. The yard has been thoughtfully landscaped with new sod and includes producing walnut, peach, apple trees, mature pear trees, large blueberry bushes, and wild blackberry patches--creating a truly special setting. Starlink internet and Eufy security cameras convey, and while the setting feels private and tucked away, you're still conveniently located near Efland, Mebane, Hillsborough, Chapel Hill, and Durham. As an added bonus, 5 acres have already been subdivided, and a soil scientist has identified suitable areas to support two additional 3-4 bedroom homes--offering excellent potential for a family compound or future investment, with the partially cleared lot ready for your vision. With this combination of acreage, upgrades, and investment potential at a newly improved price, opportunities like this don't come along often.
