About this home

Timeless farmhouse charm. A lifestyle that's becoming increasingly rare. Set on 37.90 surveyed acres, this beautifully restored farmhouse blends historic character with modern convenience and privacy. Believed to date back to the early 1900s, the home has been thoughtfully renovated while preserving its original hard pine floors and impressive 9-foot ceilings on both levels. A welcoming covered front porch with a swing and rocking chairs invites you to slow down and enjoy country living. Inside, you'll find a spacious living room, formal dining room, updated kitchen with new appliances, butler's pantry, laundry room that also serves as an office and a half bath. Upstairs offers three bedrooms and two full baths. Major updates completed in 2015 include electrical, plumbing, windows and doors. A durable metal roof, town water and private septic provide modern reliability while maintaining the home's timeless appeal. Outside, approximately 25-30 acres are professionally planted in managed pine timber, projected to be ready for harvest in 8-10 years, with the remaining acreage offering open space for recreation or gardening. The property also features a USDA farm number, underground utilities, abundant wildlife and a rear porch overlooking a spacious outdoor gathering area with a fire pit. Despite its peaceful setting, you're only 5 minutes from VCU Health Community Memorial Hospital and approximately 20 minutes from both Lake Gaston and Kerr Lake, offering nearly 1,200 miles of combined shoreline for boating, fishing, watersports and sunset cruises.
