This is the “Cordwood House” in Darlington, South Carolina. It’s all wood and has a big mossy green cross out front, and it’s only $199,900. There’s a mossy pond outside, too.
So, short logs are bi-directionally stacked in some sort of clay or cement. I’m thinking that’s why it’s called the Cordwood House, b/c it’s made from short logs that one would burn in a fireplace.
I think I prefer traditional log cabins, but this is very different and the design is unique.
Look at the beams- are those corks or stones? The materials in this home are unusual. You can see how large the house is by the size of the mezzanine.
The great room has a ceiling-high stone fireplace and you’ll notice that it has a cross at the top. At first I thought that stairs were on the sides of the fireplace, but I think that they’re most likely shelves.
The kitchen has very unusual cabinetry. They look like they were home made.
There’s a very nice dining room with a serving window from the kitchen and a built-in corner cabinet.
Isn’t this nice? A train goes around the railing. (But, does the train convey?)
The home has 4 large bds. plus a bonus room. There a lots of built-in shelves all over the house.
And, it also has 3 baths. Baths are standard and bit dated. Oddly, there are 2 baths in one room.
This is a mud room/utility room in the back of the house.
There’s a nice yard and a covered picnic area, too.

It’s been a long and sometimes cold winter. Now we are waiting for the spring to come.

The late 18th century Sam Hutton Log House was built over a spring, with the stone basement functioning as a springhouse. The two story log house had saddle notched logs and a two-story porch on the facade. Anderson County, Kentucky.

This large home in Whites Creek, Tennessee once belonged to country singer Barbara Mandrel and they say it contains an amphitheater. Realtors don’t know how much it will cost b/c it’s going up for auction next month.
I would imagine that if you were going to perform to large audiences in your own home, you would need a venue, which is the glass triangular part. If an amphitheater is open, I don’t see one- the only venue for a performance I see is the glass area.
This would probably be the residence entrance.
Around the house, by the glass roof, appears to be the audience entrance. This looks like a lobby. Look at those logs- all the trees!
Then, it gets confusing. If this is the performance area, there’s no seating, but there’s a library wall with ladders and a spiral staircase to a small platform. An information desk or some sort of stand is off to the side.
You can see that the lobby is behind this wall, though. There’s a ramp along the side, a large fireplace and a balcony. Maybe the performer is on the balcony.
This appears to be a ballroom.
A kitchen off the lobby must be for the performance area- There’s a service window with shutters and a doorway.
This has to be the residence- it has a brick fireplace to match the other one and a kitchen with a dining area.
An area for entertaining.
I wouldn’t expect a fancy fireplace like this to be in such a rustic home. Could this be the main bedroom?
This must be the en suite bath, then.
One of the smaller rooms.
Here’s another bedroom and en suite. The description doesn’t say how many bds there are.
A nice patio.
And finally, a creepy shooting range. I mean, really, this could be nicer.
