Holly Ridge presents a rare opportunity to restore one of Wilkes County's distinctive Victorian farmhouses. Dating to the 1890s and situated on approximately 5 peaceful acres outside historic Washington, this remarkable home offers more than 5,000 square feet of history, character, and possibility. Originally constructed by the Wilkinson family, Holly Ridge was saved through an ambitious preservation effort in the mid-1980s when the home was moved approximately five miles to its present country setting. Over the years, the property has served as a private residence as well as a country inn and gathering place, adding another layer to its unique story. Inside, much of the home's Victorian character remains, including original hardwood flooring, wide center hallways, spacious parlors, ornate molding and mantels, bay windows, stained glass, and other period details. Wide wraparound porches overlook the quiet rural surroundings and reinforce the classic farmhouse character. Holly Ridge is in need of restoration, but the bones, history, scale, and setting offer the opportunity to create something truly exceptional. Historic barns are included with the property and further complement the rural setting. For the buyer who appreciates historic architecture and isn't afraid of a project, Holly Ridge offers something increasingly difficult to find: an authentic 1890s Victorian farmhouse in the country with acreage, privacy, and a story worth preserving.
