A Storybook Farmstead Where Craftsmanship, History & Nature Meet

Some properties are simply places to live. Others tell a story.

Set across 68 striking acres of hardwoods, open fields, fenced pastures, barns, and abundant wildlife, this remarkable farmstead offers the rare opportunity to own a home that was not simply built—it was crafted with intention, skill, and a deep connection to the land.

At the heart of the property stands a distinctive Craftsman-style four-bedroom 2.5 bath home, inspired by the enduring beauty of European timber-framed construction. Step inside and the story of the home immediately comes to life. Thick wooden timbers, vintage hardwood floors, and enormous exposed ceiling beams reveal the natural character of the wood throughout. The home's dramatic three-story great room and open-concept floor plan create a warm, welcoming gathering space with a sense of scale that is both impressive and intimate.

Look closely, and you'll discover that the craftsmanship goes far beyond appearances. The timber frame was constructed using traditional joinery rather than nails in the home's framework, with carefully notched beams and crossbeams secured with oak pegs. The owner/builder, a master woodworker, personally handcrafted many of the home's interior treasures, including beautiful walnut and cedar closets, an oak bookcase, cherry kitchen cabinetry, and other custom woodwork. Much of the timber came directly from the property, creating an extraordinary connection between the land and the home itself.

A hand-laid stone fireplace anchors the main living area, adding another layer of warmth and permanence. Throughout the house, the natural grains and colors of the wood tell their own story—a home where craftsmanship was meant to be seen, touched, and appreciated for generations.

One of the bathrooms has been fully renovated this year, including a beautiful walk-in shower, adding a thoughtful modern touch to this otherwise timeless home.

The property's story reaches much farther back than the house. A stone-walled springhouse dating to the 1800s still stands on the grounds, a reminder of an earlier era when a natural spring along the rock-faced hillside behind the home supplied water to the residence. And for those fascinated by the past, the land has yielded numerous Civil War-era relics, offering tangible glimpses into the history of the surrounding countryside.

For the nature lover, this is a special place. Deer and wild turkey are frequent visitors, while the mixture of mature hardwoods and open acreage creates an ever-changing landscape through the seasons. Fenced fields and existing barns provide an ideal setting for livestock, hobby farming, horses, or simply enjoying the wide-open spaces that are increasingly difficult to find.

The home also incorporates thoughtful passive-solar, energy-conscious design, including a Trombe wall, south-facing windows, and other elements designed to work with the natural environment. Geothermal heating and cooling add another level of energy efficiency and comfort.

And for those who appreciate a place to create as much as a place to live, the property offers an exceptional bonus: a 20' x 40' timber-frame shop with a large attic space, plus an attached 10' x 40' storage area. It is a fitting complement to a home built by a master woodworker and provides ample room for projects, equipment, woodworking, hobbies, or farm needs.

A three-car carport provides convenient covered parking, while the acreage offers room to breathe, explore, work, and simply enjoy the peace of country living.

This is more than a farm. More than a house. It is a property where craftsmanship meets history, where the forest becomes part of the architecture, and where the land continues to tell stories of its own.

For a family looking for a place to put down roots, raise children, keep livestock, pursue hobbies, enjoy nature, and build memories that last for generations, this extraordinary farmstead offers something increasingly rare:

A home with a history—and enough land to create the next chapter.
