There are beautiful homes, and then there are places that change what you imagine home could be. Cross Creek Ranch is one of those places. Beyond its gated entrance, 94.54 acres open into sweeping Appalachian Mountain views, fenced pastures, wooded trails, and approximately 1,200 feet along Doe Creek stocked with trout for the fly fisherman.

With so much land to enjoy, an afternoon outdoors can be as adventurous or as peaceful as you choose. The approximately 4,100-square-foot, hand-hewn cedar log main home brings warmth and character to the heart of the estate.
