This amazing mountain getaway offers the charm of a log cabin, combined with luxury, comfort and a stunning view. Located in Alleghany County, 15 minutes from downtown Sparta, this attractive vacation home has enough space for a large family or group and also welcomes dogs (under 35 pounds).

Crazy Like a Fox was originally built as a model home, with well over 3000 square feet, massive windows and high ceilings for a welcoming sense of spaciousness. Northern white cedar, large hand-hewn beams, and heart hickory flooring throughout provide a woodsy ambiance. Set on over an acre of landscaped yard, with layers of mountains beyond, this home is perfect for both indoor and outdoor living.

The heart of the home is the huge great room, featuring an exquisite floor-to-ceiling river rock gas fireplace, flanked by a wall of windows that bring the view inside. There's plenty of comfy seating here around the fire, and a large flatscreen TV. The great room flows into the dining room, which seats 8. The dining room, in turn, is adjacent to the large chef's kitchen, appointed with hickory cabinetry, granite counters, and a spacious island with a downdraft cooktop. This kitchen is equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker and everything else you need for entertainment and meals at home. There's also a half bath on this level, for guests.

The spacious master bedroom is also conveniently located just off the great room. Its king-size bed is built for your comfort, and the ensuite bath includes a walk-in shower, a soaking tub and granite counters.

Crazy Like a Fox features two additional levels, so your entire group will enjoy space and privacy. The upper level offers 1 king bedrooms and second bedroom with Queen and Full Size Beds and a full bath, as well as a loft, perfect for reading or working online. The lower level is a great place for entertaining guests and kids, with a TV, pool table and foosball. There's an additional bedroom downstairs, too, offering a king size bed. plus another full bath and a utility room with a washer and dryer. The lower-level bedroom opens directly onto the lower deck, with its private rocking chair nook.

Of course, with this kind of beauty all around, you won't want to stay inside. Crazy Like a Fox provides abundant outdoor space, with two decks, spanning the entire front of the house. You'll love relaxing and entertaining out here, overlooking an expansive lawn and breathtaking mountains. Dine al fresco, taking advantage of the gas grill and outdoor table. After dark, gather around the fire pit for conversation and star-gazing. And be sure to save time just for chilling with a beverage, a good book, or a good friend. Ready to let the stress of everyday life melt away? This is your place.
