Description

Steeped in history and thoughtfully reimagined for modern mountain living, this exceptional log home blends authentic craftsmanship, rare reclaimed materials, and contemporary comfort in a setting that feels both timeless and inviting. Constructed from historic logs dating to the 1880s, the home showcases the distinctive wide face of each log, a feature highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts of early American log construction. While local lore suggests Daniel Boone once spent a night in one of the original cabins, what is certain is the remarkable care taken to preserve and celebrate the heritage of these historic structures. The home was carefully redesigned by an architect and reconstructed by renowned Highlands craftsman Tommy Chambers, widely regarded as one of the region’s foremost authorities on historic log construction. Unlike many historic cabins, this residence was engineered for comfort and efficiency. Spray foam insulation between each log, concealed within traditional concrete chinking, creates an energy efficient structure while preserving the authentic character of the original materials. Energy efficient windows and an encapsulated crawl space further enhance year round comfort, while heated floors in both bathrooms add a luxurious touch during cooler mountain seasons. Extraordinary reclaimed materials bring warmth and authenticity throughout the interior. The kitchen, dining areas, and select walls feature rare river reclaimed wide board cypress sourced from the owner’s private collection, a species no longer commercially available. In the primary suite, heart pine flooring anchors the room, while reclaimed wormy chestnut accents in the gable ends and antique tobacco poles used as exposed rafters create a rich architectural statement that reflects the home’s Appalachian heritage. The separate guest cottage, connected by a covered breezeway, features a bedroom and continues the theme of carefully curated materials, with reclaimed mixed hardwood flooring. It is privately positioned and served by its own mini-split system and offers comfortable accommodations for visiting family and friends. Blending historic authenticity with thoughtful modern improvements, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to experience the enduring character of a nineteenth century Appalachian log home enhanced with the comfort and craftsmanship expected in a refined mountain retreat.
