If you love a home with a real story to tell, you have to see this 1885 farmhouse. This was once the home of Floyd Allen, a legendary figure in Virginia history. It isn’t just a house; it’s a piece of the past that has been standing for nearly 140 years. When you walk inside, you can feel the history in every room. The coolest thing about the interior is the staircase. The railing was actually hand-carved by Mr. Allen himself! You just don’t find that kind of personal touch in modern homes. The house also features beautiful, original oak hardwood floors that give the whole place a warm, cozy feeling. It’s the perfect size at over 2,000 square feet, with plenty of room to restore it into your dream homestead.
The house is amazing, but the land is what will really steal your heart. You get 55 acres of your own private wilderness. The property is filled with mature trees, small splashing streams, and natural springs. There is even a peaceful pond where you can sit and watch the local wildlife. If you enjoy being outdoors, this place is a playground. There are trails all over the property that are perfect for long walks or riding ATVs. Whether you want to hunt, garden, or just enjoy the quiet, this land offers more privacy than you could ever imagine.
There are several extra buildings on the property that make it even more special. One of them used to be a produce store back when the land was a fruit orchard! You also get a metal garage and multiple sheds that are perfect for workshops, art studios, or storage for all your outdoor gear. Located just minutes from the Blue Ridge Parkway, this property gives you that “away from it all” feeling while still being close to the highway. At $339,000 for a historic home and 55 acres, this is an incredible opportunity for someone who wants to live a quiet life on a beautiful piece of history.
