Description

You can build a new house. You can renovate an old one. But you cannot recreate what exists here. Originally built in the mid-1800s and restored to an exceptional standard, this one-of-a-kind log home on 10.91 unrestricted acres offers something the market rarely does: real history, real character, and real versatility in one place. With 2,820 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, central air, and a striking newly built barn/flex space, this is far more than a typical country property.

Originally built in the mid-1800s and restored to an exceptional standard, this one-of-a-kind log home on 10.91 unrestricted acres offers something the market rarely does: real history, real character, and real versatility in one place. With 2,820 square feet, 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, central air, and a striking newly built barn/flex space, this is far more than a typical country property. It is a distinctive estate less than two hours from Washington, D. C. for a buyer who wants something authentic, memorable, and impossible to duplicate. The home itself is the real thing. The restoration is fresh, substantial, and thoughtfully executed, but the soul of the structure remains intact. Original logs, exposed beams, rich wood tones, stonework, fireplaces, and preserved architectural details give the home a depth and warmth that new construction cannot imitate. Every improvement was made with care, and it shows. The result is a rare blend of old-world craftsmanship and modern livability that feels both elevated and genuine. Modern comforts are already in place, including central air conditioning, high-speed 500 Mbps Frontier fiber optic internet serving both the house and the barn, and updated finishes that make the property comfortable, functional, and ready to enjoy from day one. According to Dan Oates' book The Hanging Rock Rebel, Confederate spy John Blue and Confederate Captain Ephraim Herriott discussed war plans in the log section of the house, and this is only the third family to own the property. The 10.91 unrestricted acres provide a beautiful mix of open fields and woods, creating a setting that is both usable and private. Whether your vision is a full-time residence, weekend retreat, legacy property, or simply a place to escape the pace of the city, this tract gives you room to breathe and flexibility to use it your way. The newly built heavy timber post and beam barn/flex space, built by the owner, is one of the defining features of the property. It offers 1,610 square feet of living space, along with an attached 420 square foot two-car end-to-end garage with electric. Beautifully finished and loaded with possibility, it could serve as guest quarters, private office, studio, home business location, creative workspace, entertaining venue, or Airbnb-style rental. It is rare to find a secondary improvement with this much utility, flexibility, and appeal while still fitting the character of the main residence so well. Several period outbuildings further enhance the setting and reinforce the historic character of the property. Together, the improvements create a place that feels established, layered, and truly special. This is not an ordinary log home. It is a carefully restored historic residence with real substance, beautiful land, and a newly built flex space that expands the possibilities far beyond simple country living. Opportunities like this are rare. Opportunities like this, done right, are even rarer.
