Timeless Beauty, Historic Integrity. Welcome to Farmer's Rest, a treasured local landmark that will enchant admirers of history and architecture. Built in 1835 this distinguished Greek Revival home rests on 26 acres of solitude, but is just minutes from downtown. Listed on both the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Register, this home showcases original 19th-century woodwork, including nearly all original trim, fireplaces, and recently refinished 5" pine floors that date back to the home’s earliest days. Once used as a hospital during the Civil War, numerous reminders of its storied history are found throughout. With soaring 11-foot ceilings on the main level, the interior offers a sense of elegance and airiness. The heart of the home is a double parlor with the highlight being the formal dining room, large brick fireplace including a Federal style mantel and colonettes. Adjacent to the double parlor you will find an updated farmhouse-style kitchen with access to a rear deck. Two side porches are also accessible off the transverse hallway at the front. The dogleg staircase leads you to the second floor hall where you will find two large bedrooms, while a flexible third bedroom offers additional possibilities as a study, nursery, or guest space. Downstairs, the raised English basement provides further living area, including a cozy family room, a fourth bedroom, and full bath. This space could easily be adapted to a separate living area. Outdoors, a collection of period outbuildings—including a barn, smokehouse/workshop, and chicken coop—anchor the property in its agricultural roots. Black walnut, osage orange, chestnut, pecan, black cherry trees and more are all located on the property. A one-acre vineyard, poised for renewed growth, adds to the charm and opportunity. Surrounded by open fields and wooded borders, this remarkable estate invites its new caretaker to its next chapter of American history.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
