164 Avery County High School Road Log #2

The old schoolhouse is what this home is affectionately referred to. Once inside, you are welcomed to the warm scent of aromatic red cedar floors, each plank milled from hand-selected logs across Western North Carolina and East Tennessee. The kitchen features poplar bark walls and black walnut cabinetry, all locally crafted. Mantels are hand-hewn from logs near Davy Crockett’s birthplace, while reclaimed stained glass, collected over two decades, casts vibrant light across the rooms. Vintage double glass doors from Little Switzerland’s West View Retreat open to bright living spaces, and clawfoot tubs from the historic Little Switzerland Inn grace each bath. Hand-carved staircases lead to private suites, each rich in character. This is an ideal space for families and guests or as a potential income-producing rental. This home has its own two-bedroom septic system. Included in the sale of this property is The Pick'in Pavilion, designed for gathering. The pavilion features massive beams from historic log structures throughout the Southeast. A grand fire pit anchors the space, ideal for cool summer nights or autumn events. This venue has welcomed guests from near and far, including international dignitaries, and continues to be a hub for music, laughter and celebration. It is more than a home, it’s a story, a celebration of resilience, artistry and ingenuity. Here, family events and seasonal gatherings carry forward the legacy, inspiring all who visit to see the beauty in preserving history, one beam at a time. Don't miss out on this Appalachian Gem.
