About this home
A truly remarkable opportunity to own a portion of the historic acreage once belonging to Richard Henderson's original Ashland Plantation. Offered for sale for the first time in approximately 125 years, this distinctive property has remained in the family of Adolphus E. White, whose family-owned Ashland for much of the 20th century. The tract is bordered by state parkland on one side and lakeside U.S. Army Corps of Engineers property on another. Across the road stands the beautiful Ashland Plantation House, a circa-1740 Federal and Neoclassical residence listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The lakeshore is accessible by walking through Corps-managed land, providing convenient opportunities for canoeing, kayaking, and other water recreation (NO DOCKS ALLOWED). Satterwhite Point Marina Boat Ramp (for putting boats in), Satterwhite Recreation Area, Kerr Lake Recreation Area, JC Cooper Campground, and Kerr Lake Country Club are also located approximately one and one half miles away, offering nearby access for boating, camping, and outdoor recreation. Properties with this combination of history, natural surroundings, lake access, and privacy seldom come to market (NO DOCKS ALLOWED). The land could provide an exceptional setting for a private estate or, subject to applicable approvals and septic permits, several homesites. An existing residence, built in 1949, has been unoccupied for several years and may require complete reconstruction or removal, depending on the buyer's plans. The seller makes no representations regarding the condition or functionality of the house, well, septic system, plumbing, electrical system, or other improvements. Buyers should anticipate that all structures and systems may require replacement and should conduct all desired inspections and due diligence. No value is being assigned to the existing residence. The property is being marketed and sold for its land, location, history, and the extraordinary opportunity it presents.
