The space
A super unique and sustainable barn cabin-
A repurposed and well designed old horse barn built from wood sourced on the property!
Very environmentally focused throughout the whole remodel process.
The cabin has solar panels, on demand electric hot water, passive solar, individually spaced HVAC w/ mini splits, sustainable natural ventilation, water catchment system for lavender hill, composting, closed cell insulation, and more.
The space is great for eco-tourists wanting to keep their carbon footprint low.
The barn has a mountain cabin look and design while sticking w/ that horse barn feel & all the modern amenities. Bringing the mountains into the space is the goal. We love that you will look out one direction and see the lavender hill & the other direction and see the Appalachian Mountains. Also, have privacy for an evening fire or dinner outside on the patio. But please be aware that noise travels in the mountains and quiet times are 9pm-8am

The Barn Story:
Many years ago this barn was built and used for two horses. The downstairs bedroom and living room were the two horse stalls.
There was feed and other items stored in the back of the barn which is now the kitchen.
The loft was used as a hayloft. And the large front window was where the hay was loaded in. Now there are skylights overlooking the mountains :)
The chicken coop was an addition after the horse barn was built. But it became the perfect bathroom.
The space has also been used over the years for meat rabbits, chickens, storage, event receptions, a bar for events, luxury picnics, and more!
Enjoy the new transformation of this space into a mountain cabin. And do not forget to reuse, recycle, rehab....
