Step into a piece of history with this stately home dating back to 1835, built atop the foundations of an earlier residence lost to fire. The traditional 2-over-2 center hall floor plan offers timeless elegance, complemented by original heart pine floors throughout. A country kitchen at the rear features heart pine flooring salvaged from another historic home, blending old-world character with modern comfort. The original extension includes a dining room and keeping room, perfect for gatherings and cozy evenings. A separate small house and kitchen hearth, dating from the late 1700s, add to the estate's rich architectural legacy. The property also includes two barns, a woodshed, and expansive grounds ideal for walking dogs off-leash. In spring, thousands of daffodils bloom across the fields, joined by fruit trees, woodland trails, and the magical glow of lightning bugs. Just a mile away, enjoy easy access to Kerr Lake's boat ramp and beach. While the main house awaits HVAC installation, the colonial outbuildings offer exciting restoration opportunities for those passionate about preserving history. Located in Warren County—a haven for retirees thanks to its low cost of living and natural beauty—the estate is nestled near Warrenton's historic district. The area offers excellent local services, a welcoming community, and top-tier medical care, including nearby access to Duke Medical specialists. With very low risk of floods, wildfires, earthquakes, fracking, water shortages, or hurricane damage, and roads rarely impacted by ice or snow, this property promises peace of mind and year-round accessibility.
