The property
A 2007 log cabin of 1,100 square feet on 7.78 wooded acres near Franklin, listed at $445,000, down from an original $625,000
A log cabin of 1,100 square feet on 7.78 wooded acres outside Franklin, North Carolina, listed at $445,000. The property was originally listed at $625,000 in November 2025, and today’s price reflects that reduction.
The land and setting
The lot is 7.78 acres, described by the listing as private, rolling, partially wooded and unrestricted, with room to park an RV and a level yard near the cabin.
The region is Franklin, Macon County, about 12 miles from the Tennessee line by road and a short drive from downtown Franklin. The surrounding country is the kind of rolling, forested terrain typical of the Nantahala and southern Smokies foothills, with open pasture visible from the property’s high ground in the aerial photo. The listing notes the seller may have additional acreage available beyond the 7.78 acres on this parcel. Ask the agent directly what that would add and at what price, since nothing further is specified.
The cabin
Built in 2007, the cabin is two stories of log construction under a metal roof, with 1,100 square feet of living area split across two bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The great room is vaulted with a stone wood-burning fireplace and a loft stair rising to the second level, finished throughout in log walls and hardwood and carpet flooring. The primary bedroom is on the main level with its own access to the deck. The second bedroom is upstairs under the sloped log ceiling, with an en suite bathroom.
The kitchen has a wood breakfast bar, a dishwasher, microwave, electric range, refrigerator, washer and dryer, all included per the listing. Heat comes from a heat pump backed by a wood-burning option, with central electric air for cooling. Water is a private well and sewer is a septic tank, with the foundation listed as crawl space. Parking is a single detached carport plus the gravel driveway. A large screened porch runs along the back of the cabin, furnished for sitting and dining, looking into the trees.
The cabin is listed as fully furnished, and the furnishings shown in the photos, from the bedroom sets to the porch furniture, are described as part of the sale. Confirm with the agent exactly what conveys, since “fully furnished” in a listing does not always mean every item in every photo.
