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.
