Property Description

In the heart of Avery County, beyond the trappings of ordinary architecture lies a residence unlike any other—a home and living chronicle, meticulously kept grounds that includes a private pond, abundant with aquatic life. Constructed from reclaimed log cabins and barns gathered from across the nation. Every beam, floorboard, and stone carries a story, blending centuries-old heritage with refined comfort. This residence is a rare fusion of preservation and innovation—a private retreat, a celebration of heritage and an architectural work of art. The Appalachian cabin; The dining room and kitchen are anchored by hand-hewn logs salvaged from an 1840s North Carolina cabin, where settlers once gathered around a stone hearth after long days in the fields. The cabin features multiple flex spaces to comfortably host family and friends. Underfoot, hand-planed floorboards from the same cabin creak with history. The great room showcases towering beams reclaimed from a historic Gap Creek, Tennessee structure, while continuous stonework—sourced from Linville River—was carefully hand-laid without breaking a single piece. The primary suite features native black cherry and maple floors milled in Newland, N.C., and the back patio boasts a handcrafted granite picnic table—traded for a rare gem by the home's builder. The old schoolhouse: go inside to the warm scent of aromatic red cedar floors, each plank milled from hand-selected logs across Western North Carolina and East Tennessee. The kitchen features poplar bark walls and black walnut cabinetry, all locally crafted. Mantels are hand-hewn from logs near Davy Crockett's birthplace, while reclaimed stained glass—collected over two decades—casts vibrant light across the rooms. Vintage double glass doors from Little Switzerland's West View Retreat open to bright living spaces, and clawfoot tubs from the historic Little Switzerland Inn grace each bath. Hand-carved staircases lead to private suites, each rich in character. The ideal space for additional guests or as an income-producing rental. The Pick'in Pavilion. designed for gathering, the pavilion features massive beams from historic log structures throughout the Southeast. A grand fire pit anchors the space, ideal for cool summer nights or autumn events. This venue has welcomed guests from near and far—including international dignitaries—and continues to be a hub for music, laughter, and celebration. A living museum, featured in Unique Homes Journal (spring 2025) and visited by architects and historians, this property stands as a testament to the preservation of America's architectural heritage. It is more than a home, it's a story, a celebration of resilience, artistry and ingenuity. Here, family events and seasonal gatherings carry forward the legacy, inspiring all who visit to see the beauty in preserving history, one beam at a time. Enter and discover this remarkable homestead—awaiting its next chapter, its next caretakers, and the adventures yet to come.
