Welcome to the "Moore Homestead" with nearly 3500ft of road frontage, approximately 3500' of creek frontage and a new4 plank wood farm fence at the road. Built shortly after their marriage in 1817 by Captain William D. Moore for his wife, Hannah Leonard, this farm remained in the Moore family for generations. Steeped in history and tradition, the homestead offers a rare glimpse into the architectural and cultural heritage of the early 19th century. Two of the rooms in the original side portion have large stone fireplaces and are paneled with rich walnut. William Moore was a cabinet maker by trade and also a breeder of fine race horses, at one time there was a race track on the property. A second story was added years later, by Thomas Moore who restored the residence and returned it to one of the most admired homes in Petersburg. The historical home needs some love to get it back to its original glory, it host approximately 3000sf featuring a parlor, formal dining room, butler's pantry/family dining room, 4 spacious bedrooms, 2 full baths, 10' ceilings and original floors. Gas fireplaces, 2 new HVAC units and ductwork have been installed for year round comfort. Exterior has recently been painted. Behind the main house about 1000' from the entrance ies a beautiful 1 bedroom open concept log cabin built in 2016. Beautiful views of open farmland, hills and wildlife are available from the 2 full length porches on the cabin. Possibilities include a wedding venue, an Air BNB, in-law quarters, family members or living quarters for an on-site farm manager. Two barns, one dates back to the 1800's in good condition with recently built horse stalls and tack area, open hay loft and intact feeding stations. The newer second hay barn is approximately 110'x125'. Cane creek borders the property on the south side suitable for fishing and kayaking.
