The Divide Mountain is a masterclass in hybrid timber frame design — where the warmth of handcrafted log construction meets the soaring drama of exposed heavy timber framing. Nestled into a wooded Appalachian mountain setting, this custom home was built to feel like it grew from the landscape itself.
The exterior makes an immediate statement: cedar board-and-batten siding, timber frame gable accents, a covered carport with exposed timber bents, and a wraparound porch designed for mountain living at its finest. Every detail signals craftsmanship before you ever step through the door.
Inside, the great room rises to a vaulted wood ceiling anchored by a floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace — the undeniable heart of the home. A dramatic ring chandelier hangs from the timber frame peak, drawing the eye upward through the open loft to triangular clerestory windows that frame the treetops beyond. Natural light, natural wood, natural stone — it's biophilic design built into the bones of the structure.
This is a forever home. A mountain retreat. A legacy built in timber and stone by Appalachian Log & Timber Homes — custom builders with over 20 years of experience crafting full log, timber frame, and hybrid designs across the Appalachian region.
