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
