Property Description
Authentic 1847 Chestnut Log Barn with Modern Design Elements! This unique beautiful mountain home sits on a secluded 7.8+ acres (UNRESTRICTED) with close proximity to the best of the high country. Described by a local expert as “the finest authentic log home in Ashe County”, this circa 1847 Chestnut Log Barn was converted to a residential cabin in 1976 adding stone from the base of Mt. Jefferson and has been thoroughly and meticulously renovated by the current owners. Thoughtfully incorporating modern elements to compliment the rustic authentic character and unique features, this home is truly one-of-kind. Entering the home from the bluestone terrace through an elegant custom door, you will be immediately delighted with the mixture of elements and textures. The Kitchen is remarkable in its blending of Old and New, retaining the character of the old log structure complimented by new cabinets, counters and appliances. The center ceiling opens to the modern loft above (originally 1 of the 2 hay-lofts) accessed by hand-hewed/pegged steps and lined with wormy chestnut paneling. The Kitchen is adjacent to the open Great Room / Dinning Room. This is a truly unique & impressive space. With huge timber walls, soaring 16'-18' ceilings complimented by a light fixture from Restoration Hardware, a glass walled dining area and a massive 16' wide stone wall with a large wood-burning stove – all combining to give the space an amazing ‘lodge-like' feel that is unmatched in a more traditional “log cabin”. Wormy chestnut paneling surrounds the landing area connected to the Great Room providing access up to the second bedroom, a coat closet, door to the Primary Bedroom, another door leading downstairs and a full bathroom w/ flooring from an old bank & glass blocks from the original Ashe Cheese Factory. The primary bedroom is a clean & modern sanctuary with rustic accents. Expanded & remodeled, this space is comforting in its neutral tones and warm antique & architectural accents. The old wooden door holds stained glass from the early 1800s, along w/ numbered nails from the Virginia Creeper R.R. This sizable room has plenty of windows and room enough to sit by the fireplace. It has upgraded closets, a private bathroom, and offers the sound of the stream from the backdoor as well as direct access to the private patio & Hot Tub. The Lower Level transitions nicely with chestnut barn boards (original to the barn's ceiling) leading down stairs to utilities, storage, laundry, a custom desk area, a third full bathroom, and the third bedroom. The 3rd BR includes a Murphy Bed; this room could be configured in many ways (including a game-room with bunkbeds). An additional bard/shed structure has been partially remodeled to serve as a year ‘round office or studio. Outdoor Living areas are numerous including a blue stone terrace and a wrap around deck which offers views and sounds of the beautiful stream below. Relaxing, reading, socializing, eating or napping . . . the sound of the stream is a constant. The land (UNRESTRICTED) is a secluded & magical 7.8 acres, with miles of trails meandering through mature forests and laurel groves, an open space on the hill with a huge fire-pit, and approximately 330' of South Beaver Creek - home to wild Brown & Brook Trout. Great Location: Approx. 5 Mins to New River access, 7 mins to Ingles, 10 mins to West Jefferson, 10 mins to the BR Pkwy, 30 to Boone, mins to Blowing Rock.
