Spanning 233 acres, this remarkable estate offers both heritage and versatility, making it ideal for restoration, recreation, or working farm use. At its heart is a historic home built in 1790, once used as a Civil War hospital for both Union and Confederate troops. While filled with character, the home is not registered with the National Park Service—allowing complete freedom to restore, renovate, or reimagine the space to suit your vision. The layout offers the potential for four bedrooms and two bathrooms (including a rough-in), and features HVAC, running water, and a working toilet, with the washer and dryer conveniently located on the main level. A below-ground storm shelter adds a key safety feature to the property, providing secure protection during severe weather events. The adjacent lot features a Verizon cell tower, ensuring strong signal coverage, and approximately $50,000 in USDA-upgrades are ready to be applied for. Please note that this grant is not transferable to new owners; however, the current owners are willing to assist the future owners in applying for and securing the grant through the appropriate channels. Two wells support the property—one dedicated to the home, the other for agricultural use—and a peaceful pond adds charm to the backyard landscape. The land itself is a true standout. Enrolled in the PDR program with the potential for a 3-lot perk, the farm includes 12 fully fenced paddocks with electric fencing and waterers, professionally installed in 2022. Approximately 60 acres are fenced. The fencing is premium Stay Tuff Fixed Knot fencing with double hot wire. In horse pastures, the hot wire is positioned at the top and chest level; in goat pastures, it's placed at knee and chest level. The fencing, which spans approximately one mile, also creates a continuous riding trail around the property. This includes a dedicated fence road, wide enough for truck access, making it easy to maintain fencing and monitor pasture health. The land was partially timbered in 2021, offering future timber value. A 3-stall barn and a secondary barn currently functioning as a nursery with stalls provide flexibility for equestrian or livestock use. Infrastructure is in place for a potential 100x200 riding arena, and the property supports a winter strip grazing setup. A 200-amp electrical breaker supports the farm’s operations, and over $200,000 has been invested in high-quality fencing. (Buyers are responsible for maintaining the fencing or paying a pro-rated maintenance fee.) In addition to its agricultural strengths, the property boasts a rich natural environment. Multiple creeks wind through the land, including Town Run Creek—known for its wide, deep flow—and the scenic Anderson Creek, which features picturesque waterfalls and mini rapids. The woods are filled with wildlife, including deer and turkey, and offer an extensive network of trails perfect for hiking, horseback riding, or dirt bike adventures. Some trails are already established and ready to explore, including trails that lead back to the power lines and along the creeks, while the expansive acreage offers limitless potential for creating more. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the recreational opportunities, including hunting, with the current owners earning $6,000 from deer hunting alone. Whether you’re envisioning a working farm, a private estate, or a unique historic restoration, this exceptional property offers endless possibilities—past, present, and future.
