About This Home

This charming and historic property beautifully blends the character of the past with modern-day amenities.

Currently serving as a popular event venue, it boasts over 10,000 SF, a commercial kitchen, 5 elegant BR suites, formal rooms, salon, a ballroom, office space, laundry facilities and even a home theatre. The exterior is just as exceptional, featuring hardscaped patios, a beautiful pergola, an outdoor FP and extensive parking, all set against the backdrop of the Peaks of Otter. Easy access to Lynchburg, Smith Mtn Lake and Roanoke. Whether you're seeking a venue, a business opportunity or a private estate, this unique property offers endless possibilities.
