About This Property

This home began with one clear priority: protecting the views.

From there, every decision followed—home placement, porch orientation, and overall massing—so the architecture could sit naturally within the landscape while opening fully to what surrounds it.

Project Overview

This project reflects Hewn’s approach at its best: assembling an experienced team early, working hand-in-hand with architects, land planners, and making disciplined decisions from the very beginning. The result is not a “look,” but a home with lasting presence—crafted to age beautifully and live exceptionally well.

Key Features

  • View-first site planning with intentional home placement and porch positioning
  • Natural material palette throughout, including stone, white oak, and real wood cabinetry
  • Locally milled sassafras tongue-and-groove exterior siding
  • Hand-built masonry fireplace serving as the architectural centerpiece
  • Highly efficient layout delivering a spacious feel in just over 3,000 square feet
  • Craft-forward interior detailing including tongue-and-groove walls, oak accents, and hardwood floors

Designed to Age With Character

The exterior is finished in sassafras tongue-and-groove, cut at a local sawmill. Left untreated, sassafras is exceptionally durable and weathers naturally over time. Depending on sun exposure and orientation, different areas of the home age uniquely—creating depth, variation, and authenticity that manufactured products simply can’t replicate. This approach lends the home a timeless quality, echoing the historic structures found throughout the Leipers Fork area. Learn more.

Craft as the Centerpiece

Inside, the heart of the home is a true masonry fireplace—built vertically through the roof by skilled craftsmen. This level of work is increasingly rare, requiring precision, experience, and coordination. It’s a return to an almost lost art form, bringing a sense of permanence and heritage into a modern home. This is architecture meant to be lived in, remembered, and passed down.

Space That Lives Larger

Through thoughtful planning and collaboration, this home delivers an open, spacious feel without excess square footage. Every inch works harder. The layout balances comfort, flow, and functionality—proving that great architecture isn’t about size, but about proportion, clarity, and intention.
