Property Description
"Welcome" to a piece of history nestled in Virginia's Mt. Olive area—an preserved German-style farmhouse, dating back to 1844 and resonating with echoes of the Civil War era. This charming residence stands proudly amidst 12.4 acres of pastoral beauty, offering a rare combination of vintage elegance and modern comfort. Approaching the farmhouse, one is greeted by the huge covered front porch, providing a welcoming entry point into a home steeped in character. The expansive porch invites leisurely afternoons and warm gatherings, overlooking a large yard framed by fencing that surrounds the pasture land and affords breathtaking views of Little North Mountain in the distance. Stepping inside, the interior unfolds with a sense of heritage preservation. Original doors and trims, complemented by old pine flooring and chair railing, lend an air of authenticity to the expansive living spaces. The large entrance hallway serves as a gracious introduction, leading guests into rooms where history whispers through every corner. The heart of the home is a custom-designed country kitchen, updated to seamlessly blend modern convenience with rustic charm. Adjacent to the kitchen, a sunroom bathed in natural light offers a serene retreat and radiant heated tiled flooring while a covered back porch extends the living space outdoors—a perfect spot for outside dining or quiet contemplation. Four bedrooms and two updated bathrooms, provide comfortable accommodations adorned with views of the surrounding landscape. The formal dining room features a stain glass window while the parlor displays the huge stone fireplace for winter comfort.
Additional features include a cellar with both outside and inside access, offering cool respite and storage space, along with a walk-up attic area that promises potential for expansion or storage. The property boast a natural spring and a small pond (not much water in it at this time) adding to its pastoral allure and providing opportunities for relaxation and outdoor activities. Several outbuildings and two run-in sheds dot the landscape, speaking to the property's agricultural legacy and offering practical space for storage or hobbies. This farmhouse stands not only as a home but as a cherished link to Virginia's rich history, where each detail—from the stone fireplace to the views of Little North Mountain—tells a story of resilience, beauty, and enduring charm. This "historical home offers 12.4 acres fenced for horses, cattle or your small farmette" with a picturesque setting with ample land for grazing and possibly even cultivating crops or maintaining gardens.
