From the beginning, Massey\u2019s vision for the house was deeply personal. \u201cI wanted to build an Irish Cottage in honor of my Irish grandparents who immigrated to America through Ellis Island in the early 1900s,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen I asked my grandmother why she left her family at 18 years of age never to see her parents again, she stated, \u2018I heard that in America, the streets were paved with gold.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apeldoorn House was named after a historical town in the Netherlands in honor of Massey\u2019s Dutch grandparents. The house\u2019s form\u2014soft curves and thick walls, with a farmhouse warmth\u2014is an homage to both Ireland and France. \u201cAfter two recent trips to France and staying only in country farmhouses, the house plans morphed into a home built with industrial hemp (green build) with soft curved corners that mimic the old houses in Ireland and France,\u201d says Massey.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_85606\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85606\" class=\"wp-image-85606\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/At-Home-Apeldoorn-dining-table-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/At-Home-Apeldoorn-dining-table-copy.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/At-Home-Apeldoorn-dining-table-copy-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/At-Home-Apeldoorn-dining-table-copy-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/At-Home-Apeldoorn-dining-table-copy-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/At-Home-Apeldoorn-dining-table-copy-810x608.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/At-Home-Apeldoorn-dining-table-copy-1140x855.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-85606\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Apeldoorn House<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Sustainable building materials, particularly hempcrete, were essential to Massey\u2019s vision. \u201cI wanted to use materials that had less impact on the environment than a traditional build,\u201d she says. \u201cThrough my research and contact with expert Tim Callahan, author of Hempsteads: Architectural Details for Hemp-Lime Construction, I learned that hempcrete has a huge impact on prevention of mold growth inside and outside of the house so the health benefits are huge. This material provides a combination of great insulation, decreasing heat loss and drafts, thermal mass and moisture regulation that requires less energy to heat and cool the house.\u201d Callahan, who lives in Asheville, consulted Massey throughout the design and construction of Apeldoorn House.<\/p>\n<p>Embracing hempcrete also allowed for the home\u2019s signature architectural softness. \u201cI was drawn to an \u2018Old World\u2019 ambiance with interior curved corners throughout the house,\u201d says Massey. \u201cThe 12-inch thick walls lent themselves to wide window sills using vintage heart pine planks.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_85608\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85608\" class=\"wp-image-85608\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/At-Home-Apeldoorn-wreath-door-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/At-Home-Apeldoorn-wreath-door-copy.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/At-Home-Apeldoorn-wreath-door-copy-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/At-Home-Apeldoorn-wreath-door-copy-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/At-Home-Apeldoorn-wreath-door-copy-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/At-Home-Apeldoorn-wreath-door-copy-810x608.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/At-Home-Apeldoorn-wreath-door-copy-1140x855.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-85608\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Apeldoorn House<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Inside, every detail carries intention, history and personal touch. For five years, Massey gathered antique architectural elements and furnishings, building the home around them. Details like repurposed wooden doors and panels from France, repurposed antique kitchen cabinets from Manhattan, old ceiling beams, antique furniture and 100-year-old heart pine interior doors appear throughout the house. \u201cIt was important to me that no new cabinets, tables or other details were used in the house with the exception of the wall and door trim,\u201d says Massey. \u201cThe floor is a concrete slab that was acid washed by a local artisan. The choice of repurposed materials is why the house has the Old World look and is so comfortable and peaceful.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_85710\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-85710\" class=\"wp-image-85710\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/kitchen-1-apeldoorn-house-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/kitchen-1-apeldoorn-house-copy.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/kitchen-1-apeldoorn-house-copy-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/kitchen-1-apeldoorn-house-copy-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/kitchen-1-apeldoorn-house-copy-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/kitchen-1-apeldoorn-house-copy-810x540.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/kitchen-1-apeldoorn-house-copy-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/kitchen-1-apeldoorn-house-copy-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-85710\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Apeldoorn House<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Outdoors, the care is just as evident. \u201cThe landscaping was designed to reflect the natural beauty of nature and highlight the babbling brook, the large ancient trees and the outline of nearby mountains,\u201d Massey says. \u201cBirds, butterflies, bears with cubs and turkeys are frequent visitors.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>What emerges is a testament to patience, generational pride and reverence for material and place. \u201cApeldoorn House is like no other house or bed and breakfast in Black Mountain,\u201d says Massey. \u201cEvery element was designed with intention and meticulous attention to detail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Apeldoorn House is located at 71 Penland Cove Road, Black Mountain.
