C.S. Harrop Architects, in collaboration with Hickory Construction, designed this stone farmhouse in Walland, a community tucked into Miller’s Cove, a peaceful valley in the northwestern foothills of the Smoky Mountains. The project team crafted this home to make the main house appear to have been built in the late 1800’s, with additions added over time, which provides a very authentic Tennessee farm feel.
As an example, the glass hallway leading to the owner’s bedroom suite was deliberately designed to appear like a later addition. The interior features exposed timber beams crafted from reclaimed railroad ties in their original condition, along with large windows that create a warm, inviting atmosphere for the homeowners and their guests.

It’s the kind of place that encourages quiet moments, relaxed gatherings, and a deep connection to the landscape throughout the seasons.

Above: The main entry into the stone farmhouse is understated with a bit of mystery. The exterior sconces were sourced from Bevolo Gas & Electric Lights. Notice the heavy stone cantilever holding the lanterns, and a light offset of corbels, but nothing actually holding up a heavy stoop roof. The architects were inspired by the Door Hoods found on early American farmhouses and sheds, as well as by their use in later, more formal architecture in the northeast. They used steel framing to make it happen!
Above: Screen doors add a casual romance and offer a cool breeze through this southern center hall. Together with the live-sawn white oak flooring from The Hudson Co., this home feels as comfortable as it does graceful.
Above: The owner’s bedroom flooring is a custom-crafted “threshing floor” design.
Above: The “Sleeping Porch” offers a tranquil venue to relax and take in the idyllic mountain setting.
Above: The separate Guest House, called the Forge Barn, is located across the main lawn, which features the pool and pavilion.
Above: Sweetwater’s modern farmhouse setting also features a one-of-a-kind carriage barn-style garage.
