A turn key Short Term Rental or Primary Residence Imagine owning your own private stretch of riverfront where mornings begin with a cup of coffee on the deck and a short walk down to the water with your fly rod. The home was engineered with an elevation certificate rising 30 feet above the river and minimizing any risk. The North Pacolet River, stocked by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission with rainbow and brown trout, flows directly through the property, offering fishing, swimming, and peaceful exploration just steps from your front door. At night, open the windows and listen to the gentle sound of water moving over smooth mountain stones as cool mountain air drifts through the cabin. It’s the kind of place where time slows down and nature sets the rhythm of the day. Set on just over two private wooded acres, this farmhouse-inspired log cabin is crafted from large hand-hewn logs and designed to embrace the surrounding mountain landscape. Inside, soaring vaulted ceilings with exposed beams create a dramatic lodge-style atmosphere, while warm wood interiors and expansive windows bring the outdoors inside. The home features two bedrooms, two full baths, and a spacious sleeping loft, allowing the property to comfortably accommodate additional guests. The main living area centers around a wood-burning fireplace, creating the perfect setting for cozy evenings after a day spent on the river. Step outside to the expansive deck overlooking the water, where the sights and sounds of the river create an unforgettable mountain living experience. Additional features include: • Proven short-term rental with established 5-star guest history • Private river frontage on the North Pacolet River • Five-zone mini-split HVAC system with individual temperature control • Constant hot water system • Two wood-burning fireplaces • Vaulted ceilings with exposed beams • Expansive outdoor entertaining deck overlooking the river • Private wooded acreage providing exceptional privacy Located just minutes from the charming mountain town of Saluda, this property offers easy access to Pearson’s Falls, the scenic Highway 176 corridor, and the shops, restaurants, and galleries of both Saluda and nearby Tryon. Whether used as a private mountain retreat, second home, or income-producing short-term rental, opportunities combining river frontage, acreage, privacy, and established rental performance are increasingly rare in the Saluda market. This is more than a home — it’s a place where a river truly runs through it.

Huntersville NC Real Estate Guide

Local Tips & Strategies for the 28078 Market

1. Commute Tips: If you’re interested in Huntersville homes for sale, drive I-77 at 0730. Managing the Express Lane access points from Birkdale or Macaulay is the difference between an easy commute and total gridlock nightmare.

2. Valuation Tips: Sellers in communities like Skybrook or Northstone shouldn’t ever anchor prices to Lake Norman waterfront data or properties. Value is driven by the Huntersville school district, lifestyle amenities and location, location, location.

3. Local Boating Tips: Beat the boat ramp crowds at Blythe Landing by launching early in the morning, before 0800.  On the way home, hit Rise Cafe in Birkdale Crossings or head by Birkdale Village for dinner.  (See some of our favorite restaurants in Birkdale Village)


Huntersville NC Real Estate FAQ

Is Huntersville NC walkable?
Birkdale Village is the premier walkable hub, offering a mix of luxury retail, dining, and single-family residential homes..  There are also townhomes and plenty of places to eat.  As a resident, I walk to Birkdale daily for exercise or to eat.  There’s always something going on there.

How are the schools in Huntersville?
Top schools include Lake Norman Charter and Grand Oak Elementary, which are major drivers for local property values.  Beware of Charlotte Mecklenburg School systems as they constantly change the school map around Huntersville.  If you need more information, go directly to the school system to be sure.

Are property taxes lower than Charlotte?
Yes. You get Mecklenburg County services without the added Charlotte city tax—a major win for relocations.  Local tip to consider is that taxes in Mecklenburg County are higher than nearby counties.

Where is the best outdoor recreation?
Latta Nature Preserve is the crown jewel, offering miles of waterfront hiking and kayak launches on Mountain Island Lake. Jetton Park in Cornelius is on of my favorites and only a five minute drive from Birkdale Village.

What are the top golf neighborhoods?
Northstone Country Club and Skybrook Golf Club are the premier destinations for luxury golf-course living.  Nearby in other towns you’ll also find additional choices to drive balls or play 18 holes.
