1718 Epps Fork Rd, Clarksville, VA 23927 listing details

LONG GRASS PLANTATION....a unique opportunity to own a beautiful Virginia Plantation home and its 27.7 acre peninsula setting located on 50,000 acre Kerr Lake. The rear two rooms were built circa 1797; front section added, 1830's by well-known southern builder Jacob Holt, who circa 1857 renovated the rear two rooms and added a second floor above and an Italianate rear porch. In 1994 the home was completely renovated, with new wiring, plumbing, roof, bathrooms, and modern kitchen (all done in keeping with the original character of the home). The home is on the National Historic Registry ...and the property on the Virginia Landmarks Registry. The 27.7 acre setting is comprised of original plantation dependencies (icehouse; smokehouse; laundry & kitchen), farm buildings, and an 1800's log structure (originally the plantation school house) that has been converted into a family cabin. There is a modern 50x75 metal workshop/storage building tucked away on the property. The grounds have many trees that are hundreds of years old (and some quite historic), beautiful formal gardens, fruit trees, vegetable garden, and open fields,...all situated at the end of a quiet, country road but only one hour and fifteen minutes from the North Carolina Research Triangle Park and the urban areas of Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill and Cary, NC and less than two hours south of Richmond, VA.
