Steeped in nearly two centuries of history, the 3,820-square-foot residence offers 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms within classic Federal-style architecture, featuring a columned front porch, an upper-level balcony, and quality period construction that has stood the test of time.

Adjoining Tract 2 adds another 4.58± acres of moderately cleared land, rounding out a private, self-sufficient homestead with deep local heritage. Beyond the historic core, this auction presents a rare opportunity to acquire up to eight total tracts spanning 125± acres in one of Amherst County's most scenic corners. Tracts 3 through 8, offered separately, include 53± wooded acres with an excellent building site (Tract 3), 25± open acres offering room to build (Tract 4), and four smaller open, buildable parcels ranging from 2.7± to 3.2± acres (Tracts 5-8) -- ideal for homesites, investment, or expanding the legacy estate. Whether you're drawn to the timeless character and equestrian amenities of the historic manor or the flexibility of the surrounding buildable land, this sale offers something for every buyer. Don't miss the chance to own a piece of Amherst County history -- Amherst Elementary, middle, and high school.
