UNIQUE MOUNTAIN HOME WITH CREATIVITY, HISTORY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP!

For many years Shawn and Shelia Gentry dreamed of building a house based on an old west structure. When they visited the head works of the 'Yankee Girl Mine' near Ouray, Colorado, it became the inspiration for construction of the 'Mining House". This house was designed from their memory of the historic structure.

The use of reclaimed barnwood salvaged from two Ashe County barns helped the owners achieve the look they were hoping for.

You will be amazed at the craftsmanship, creativity and unique features awaiting you behind this red door.

A mixture of old and new materials give the "Mining House" an authentic feel while enjoying all of today's modern comforts. Staging by The Cabin Store enhances the ambiance inside this cabin.

The main level kitchen features cabinetry custom built from an Indiana dairy barn, while the cabinets in the lower level were constructed from local barnwood. The red backsplash was salvaged from an old country store.

There are four levels of living space, each with its own covered deck to enjoy the views.

The lower level is perfect for your overnight guests. It has a nook large enough for this large lounger, sleeping space, kitchen/dining space and a full bath. Or use this level as a media room, den or office. This level also offers separate outdoor access making it ideal for a vacation rental. Notice the heirloom door, from an old country store in Ashe County, awaiting installation.

An old Ashe County, NC barn comes back to life in these custom cabinets in the lower level kitchen.

The attention to detail is unsurpassable. From the lighting fixtures....

...to the plumbing and wall coverings, the owner has recaptured an era past. Each of the three bathrooms offer extraordinary custom features such as this one with old license plates collected from many states.

The second level is home to the Master suite and overlooks the living area. Another example of the creativity and craftsmanship is the hand railings constructed from old pipes on all three stairways.

Also note the authentic old wood doors complete with original glass doorknobs also salvaged from an old country store in Ashe County.

The second bedroom with en suite bath and private deck is located on the top level.

The clever creativity follows to the outside as well. There are four levels of covered decks and this firepit area to enjoy storytelling and the company of family and friends.

If there is one thing that is clear...upon leaving this unique cabin, you and your guests will agree that this is a "One of a Kind" cabin. Offered at $299,000, this unusual and distinctive home, inspired by the Yankee Girl Mine, is located in the Todd area of Ashe County in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina and features 2-bedrooms, plus lower level multipurpose area, 3-baths, fireplace with gas logs, and four levels of living space each with its own covered deck to enjoy the views.
