73 Sargent Dr

A 2005 log cabin tucked into roughly 6 private acres outside Murphy, North Carolina, 2 bedrooms and 2 baths with a detached garage and workshop, listed at $325,000 after a $24,900 price cut.

The setting

A long gravel driveway runs through mature woods to reach the cabin, which the listing says is hidden from the hustle and bustle yet easy to access. The lot is listed at 5.85 acres, though Cherokee County’s public record puts it closer to 3.66 acres, a real gap worth asking the agent about before relying on either figure. Wide aerial photos show the cabin’s clearing surrounded by forested ridgeline on every side.

The cabin

Built in 2005 and renovated in 2015 per county records, the 960-square-foot cabin has an open floor plan with hardwood floors and vaulted tongue-and-groove ceilings throughout the main living area. A wood stove anchors the living room, and French doors and large windows bring in natural light.

The kitchen has wood cabinetry, black appliances and a run of counter space open to the living area. Two bedrooms and two full baths round out the floor plan, along with a laundry closet.

A covered back deck extends the living space outside, overlooking the wooded yard.

The garage and workshop

A detached garage provides what the listing calls plenty of room for vehicles, projects, hobbies and extra storage. The photos show a two-bay structure with open floor space inside, separate from the cabin itself.

What to know before you call

This home last sold for $220,000 in January 2021 and is now asking $325,000, up $105,000 from that sale, after a $24,900 cut from its original list price on October 13, 2026. The listing notes a private well. The listing does not give property taxes directly, but Cherokee County’s public tax record shows $1,143.95 for the 2025 roll year on a parcel assessed at $161,180. Sewer, heating and cooling type, HOA status and financing terms are not given on the listing, so those stay out of the facts table below.

The acreage discrepancy between the listing’s 5.85 acres and the county’s 3.66 acres is the kind of detail worth confirming with a survey before writing an offer, since it directly affects what you’re paying per acre.
