The Gaston by Appalachian Log Structures

The Gaston is a stunning lakefront retreat that blends rustic beauty with refined architectural features. Built with an impressive 8" D-log profile, the home showcases timber frame cathedral ceilings that open into a spacious loft, while its striking prow front and distinctive octagon dining area add dramatic character and panoramic lake views. Outdoor living is elevated by a massive deck, a welcoming covered porch, and both attached and detached garages for added convenience. Situated on the shores of Lake Gaston, the property includes a charming log‑sided boathouse complete with a bar, and an inviting lofted game room with its own bar and music area. All these comforts are centered around a cozy wood‑burning fireplace in the living room that enhances the warm, lodge‑style atmosphere.
