VICTORIAN CHARM ON 20 ACRES WITH TRANQUIL CREEK. Ideal setting for your High Country getaway, vacation rental, mini-farm, or permanent residence!

Listed on The National Register of Historic Places, it’s recognized for advanced design elements for its time. The home is a two-story house featuring gabled double-tier porches on both the front and the side. The home has original woodwork, hardwood floors and tall ceilings. The floorplan includes four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, loft/sitting room, spacious living room, dining room, and large kitchen with dining area. Multiple decks overlook the gorgeous surrounding landscape. The home is meticulously maintained and has been upgraded with modern features including upstairs and downstairs air conditioning units, propane furnace and heat pump, an encapsulated crawlspace with dehumidifier, and Ring security system. Recently, both the home and outbuildings have been repainted. Other improvements include new wood blinds, gutters and drainage system, new refrigerator, attic insulation, and more. Surrounded by 20 acres of pastoral and wooded land, the property offers a serene environment with vibrant flora including hydrangeas and rhododendrons. A tranquil creek flows through the landscape, providing both a peaceful retreat and a reliable water source for farm animals who can reside in the fully fenced-in pasture. Outbuildings include a historic springhouse/laundry room, garden shed, carriage house, woodshed, workshop, root cellar, and barn. Offered completely furnished, it’s ready to enjoy! Proximity to Lansing, West Jefferson, Grayson Highlands State Park and the fishing streams in Sturgills make this home an ideal location for a wide variety of activities. A MUST SEE!
