This residence is a rare fusion of preservation and innovation—a private retreat, a celebration of heritage and an architectural work of art.

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.
