8709 Hwy 226A A truly remarkable piece of history, this log home stands as a living museum in the heart of Little Switzerland, North Carolina. Built in 1931 by W. R. Hollifield, the home was first owned by Arnold McKinney until 1937, when it was purchased by Dr. C. F. Sayles, who cherished the property through 1949, Then his widow sold it in 1962. There it became the beloved residence of Jack and Peggy Brown, who lived there until their passing, further deepening the home's legacy as a place of long-term stewardship and memory. The property has remained within a connected lineage of care, ultimately passing to the current seller through family inheritance following his mother's passing. Rich with nearly a century of history, this residence offers a rare opportunity to own a preserved piece of Appalachian heritage in scenic Little Switzerland, North Carolina.
