About This Home

This is a rare offering for a buyer who wants land, water, and craftsmanship all in one place. 62.89 acres on the Lynches River, with 862' of highway frontage and 1,164' of Lynches River frontage (nearly a quarter mile) complete with its own boat landing. The home was built by Laverne Holloman, a custom cabinet maker by trade, and it shows in every room. Black walnut and heart pine floors run through much of the house, heart pine cabinets fill the kitchen, and the crown and detail molding throughout is the kind you don't see in new construction anymore. The foyer alone features 12-member crown molding with decorative detailing, and wainscoting carries through the den, dining room, hall, and foyer. The Florida room is a standout on its own — cherrywood floors, birchwood walls, and a heart pine ceiling. Outside, there's a 6,000 sq. ft. detached shop built for someone serious about working with their hands: a heated woodworking area, louvered doors, a kitchen and entertainment area, two half-baths, and an office. A detached barn adds further storage or workshop space. Also, you will find a custom built playhouse in the back yard with steps, two windows, a sliding board and shingles. The grounds include a five-acre stocked pond, scattered fruit trees, riding and hiking trails that wind through the property. With direct access to Lynches River, there's rafting, canoeing, and fishing right out the back door. This is a property built for a family that wants room to work, room to play, and a house that was clearly built by someone who cared about the details. An adjoining 32.93-acre tract fronting Roundtree Road to the west, sharing 1,120' of common boundary, is also available for a buyer who wants to expand their footprint.
