A home with a story, craftsmanship you simply cannot recreate, and views that speak for themselves. Once featured on Barnwood Builders, this remarkable custom home is truly one of a kind. Built with 150+ year-old hand-hewn logs and thoughtfully designed with exceptional materials and period-inspired details throughout, this property perfectly blends the warmth and character of the past with the comfort and conveniences of modern luxury. Situated on approximately 3.8 acres, the setting is every bit as special as the home itself. Serene woods along the front and sides create a wonderful sense of privacy, while the rear of the property opens to absolutely breathtaking valley views. With level yard areas, expansive porches, beautiful perennial landscaping, hand-cut stone walls, and a stone patio with a firepit, there are plenty of places to slow down and enjoy the surroundings.
The home's character begins before you ever step inside. The welcoming front porch features hemlock flooring and leads to a truly one-of-a-kind custom walnut front door. Around back, the covered porch with two ceiling fans overlooks the valley and offers the perfect place for morning coffee, quiet evenings, or simply taking in a view that never gets old.
Inside, the custom kitchen is filled with thoughtful details. Two ovens, a gas range, soapstone sink, built-in microwave, paneled refrigerator that blends seamlessly with the cabinetry, and an oversized custom island with exceptional storage, a second sink, and its own disposal make the space as functional as it is beautiful. Custom beams and wainscot paneling add architectural interest overhead, while a Vermont Castings woodstove brings an extra layer of warmth and charm. An eat-in dining area comfortably accommodates six, additional seating is available at the island, and a generous walk-in pantry provides plenty of room for everything you want tucked away.
Just off the kitchen, a spacious mudroom offers convenient access to the carport along with cabinetry and storage for coats, shoes, and everyday necessities.
On the opposite side of the kitchen is perhaps the heart of the home's rustic character, the stunning cabin-style living room. Soaring cathedral ceilings, 150+ year-old hand-hewn logs, impressive stonework, reclaimed chestnut flooring, period lighting, a loft overlooking the space, and a wood-burning fireplace create a room that manages to feel both grand and incredibly inviting. It is a space made for gathering.
The main level also features a beautifully appointed half bath with wainscot paneling and period-inspired details, along with a luxurious primary suite. Hardwood floors, space for a sitting area, and a beautiful window overlooking the backyard create a peaceful retreat. The oversized walk-in closet provides abundant storage, while the en suite bath features heated tile floors, custom cabinetry, a farmhouse-style sink, clawfoot soaking tub, and glass-enclosed shower.
The home's flexible floor plan offers bedrooms on the main and upper levels, along with an additional sleeping area in the loft. The largely finished walk-out basement provides even more possibilities, including two rooms that could serve as additional sleeping spaces, guest rooms, a den, hobby rooms, or even a home theater.
And the craftsmanship certainly doesn't stop downstairs. The walk-out basement continues to showcase beautiful views along with wood and tile flooring, a custom wood ceiling, an office area, laundry cabinetry and utility sink, and generous storage throughout.
Even the finishing details tell the story of how intentionally this home was created. Cohesive period-style lighting can be found throughout, including custom fixtures from Period Light Company, some originally ranging from approximately $2,000 to $12,000. One particularly special fixture is a replica of the lantern carried by Paul Revere.
Additional features include approximately 2,400 square feet, plus the largely finished walk-out basement; a standing-seam metal roof; 500-gallon buried propane tank; 420-foot-deep well; Elgin septic system; tankless hot water heater; two furnaces; Kolbe windows and doors; Kohler plumbing fixtures and comfort-height toilets; woodstove and wood-burning fireplace; heated primary bathroom floors; convenient laundry chute from the primary bedroom; custom oak-board carport; 12' x 16' storage shed; well house; perennial landscaping; hand-cut stone walls; and, of course, those unforgettable views.
Properties like this simply don't come along often. From the history held within its hand-hewn logs to the craftsmanship found in nearly every corner, this home was created to be something special. Private, timeless, warm, and full of character, it offers the rare opportunity to own a home that feels rooted in another era without sacrificing the amenities and comfort of today.
This isn't just a custom home. It's a piece of craftsmanship, history, and West Virginia beauty all in one.
