‘Cabiminium’ in the Mountains of North Carolina Can Be Yours for $649K

You know what a condominium is, and you’re familiar with cabins. But what about a “cabiminium”? The hybrid dwelling is a real thing, and we’ve found one on the market for $649,000 in beautiful Banner Elk, NC.

“It’s very similar to a condominium,” listing agent Karen Cleghorn says of the property. “Where a condo [owner] owns the walls inside, the cabiminium [owner] owns the footprint of the house.”

Similar to a condo community, the homeowners association is responsible for the upkeep and landscaping of the grounds. But what’s inside the residence is all yours. And the interior of this charming 1,200-square-foot space is worth a deep dive.

First, get a gander of the exterior with curb appeal aplenty. With poplar cladding around the window, log-and-stone columns, and a “twig railing,” the 2015 construction features a number of custom details.

The two-bedroom, 2.5-bath home comes fully furnished—and we’re not talking Ikea products.

“All of the furniture is handmade,” Cleghorn says. Furthermore, the logs are hand-hewn, the kitchen cabinets feature poplar bark panels, and the floors are made of reclaimed hardwood. The living area has a stone fireplace. The second level has the master suite with private deck, and a second bedroom with full bath. Outdoors is a deck with a handcrafted picnic table.

Even the bathrooms are unique. The travertine tile was designed by an artist, who added flourishes such as a paw print on the floor and a cute brown bear in the shower.

For the kiddos (and kids at heart), a secret door under the stairs leads to a bunk room. Other highlights include a fire pit, hot tub, and electric car-charging station.

Cleghorn calls the home “cozy” and the setting “gorgeous.” It’s part of a development called Eagles Nest on Elk River, and the developer coined the term cabiminium to describe the abodes in the gated community. Homeowners have access to community spaces, including a lodge with deck and outdoor fireplace, an outdoor amphitheater, a fire pit, and sports fields. There’s also a wine and cigar bar, as well as a spa.

The area offers miles of trails, and residents can go hiking, biking, or fishing nearby.
