A Patriot s Refuge Above the World: Longing for a place where time stands still, silence reigns, and the world feels far away? This is it. Perched on a windswept bald with commanding views of Mount Mitchell, the Smokies, and Pisgah National Forest, this handcrafted log home is more than a residence it s a retreat. Built in 2007 but styled to echo the 1700s, it features 8-inch oak logs, hand-hewn details, and a red cedar exterior that whispers of 1776. Inside, it s all about strength, solitude, and simplicity with hurricane-rated Anderson windows and a structure built to endure. Located in a 1,000-acre gated wilderness preserve, you'll wake to 360 mountain views and the rustle of trees, not traffic. This isn t suburbia. It s not sleek or modern. It s for someone who values grit, honor, and nature someone ready to trade screens and scrolls for freedom and sky. If you're ready to live above it all this mountain stronghold is waiting.
