For the custom-built home, the original log cabin was relocated from WV and rebuilt while the stone portion of the home, including 5 large fireplaces, 2 chimneys and exterior walls, was constructed using stone sourced from the property. The interior millwork including solid-core doors and 11" baseboard was custom milled and constructed on-site. Major restoration efforts to return the home and property to its original glory began in 2017 and were completed in 2020. Please see the separate list of transformational improvements. At the base of the property lies an expansive 3-bay garage for all your work and play equipment. It sits along a beautiful, seductive creek that produces the utmost peaceful sound of cascading water over the rock beds and through the river stones. Meander along the creek past the charming tiny cabin with large stone fireplace to the lovingly preserved 1829 3BR, 1 BA farmhouse perfect for future use as a guest house, caretaker's cottage, or AirBnB.
