Some homes impress you. This one invites you to stay. Set across nearly 13 acres of remarkably usable land with approximately 9+ acres of pasture and a creek winding through the property, this original-owner custom home by Nicholson Home Builders feels borrowed from a storybook, where traditions begin, memories linger, wildlife becomes part of everyday life, and afternoons spent trout fishing become treasured memories. Thoughtfully designed to honor the character of classic mountain homes while offering exceptional craftsmanship throughout, the home showcases Sisson premium logs and hand-crafted chinking for a one-of-a-kind look. Inside, warm lodge-inspired living unfolds with all-wood walls, soaring wood ceilings, thick interior and exterior banisters, wide-plank Norwegian spruce floors, custom live-edge wood countertops, wood windows and doors, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace anchored by an oversized wood beam mantel. The kitchen was designed for gathering and features handcrafted cabinetry, farmhouse sink, artisan details, large pantry, newly installed high-end 5-burner cooktop, and a new vent hood on order. Two screened porches and 2 open porches, including a deep wraparound porch inspired by generations past and outfitted with ceiling fans, create countless places to slow down and stay awhile, while the main-level primary suite offers its own screened retreat for quiet mornings. The oversized barn is equally impressive with a large upper level, wood-burning stove, expansive workshop flexibility, covered exterior storage, and a dedicated drive. A new gravel driveway, open living spaces, and room to imagine everything from a private retreat to future gathering opportunities complete this special property. Come experience the feeling for yourself and imagine the memories, traditions, and legacy waiting to be created here.
