This transitional timber frame home features a wrap-around porch designed to take advantage of its lakeside setting and mountain views. Natural stone, including river rock, granite and Tennessee field stone, is combined with wavy edge siding and a cedar shingle roof to marry the exterior of the home with it surroundings. Casually elegant interiors flow into generous outdoor living spaces that highlight natural materials and create a connection between the indoors and outdoors.

There are a few ways to get to this beautiful back porch and they all lead to the same well-crafted destination. This exterior space continues the rustic cabin theme of exposed logs, reclaimed features (like the door), and detailed stone work on the walls and floor.

This custom mountain home was thoughtfully designed to blend rustic charm with clean, modern lines while embracing its natural wooded surroundings. The exterior features bold dark vertical siding paired with warm stained wood accents, creating striking contrast and timeless curb appeal. Exposed timber details, covered porches, and natural textures add character while reinforcing the home’s connection to the landscape. Designed for both beauty and functionality, the home’s layout takes full advantage of the sloped lot and surrounding forest views. Expansive covered decks and outdoor living spaces extend the home into nature, creating inviting areas for relaxing and entertaining year-round. The combination of simple rooflines, warm wood railings, and mountain-inspired architectural details gives the home a refined yet approachable feel. From the welcoming front porch to the multi-level rear outdoor spaces, every exterior detail was carefully selected to complement the peaceful mountain setting while offering durability and low-maintenance living. The result is a warm and modern retreat that feels both elevated and connected to its surroundings.
