26528 Shortsville Rd, Abingdon, VA 24210

Tucked into the quiet hills and pastoral beauty of Washington County, Virginia, this antique farmhouse rests on 20 rolling acres just outside historic Abingdon. With sweeping views of the countryside, this property offers nearly everything you need to begin your homesteading journey: a spring, a well, open fields, shady woods, and several outbuildings. The farmhouse itself dates to at least 1872, though details like post-and-beam construction and other early features suggest parts of the home may reach back to the late 1700s. It's a true Appalachian farmhouse, boasting a hand-carved walnut staircase, charming old-country fireplaces, and folk Greek Revival woodwork. You'll find wide-plank floors underfoot, original windows, and well-preserved siding—just waiting for a thoughtful restoration. And if some of the mid-century updates aren't to your taste, you're in luck: original shutters, doors, windows, and even a mantel are stored in the outbuildings, ready to be brought back to life. If you've been longing for a mysterious old farmhouse on breathtaking acreage, steeped in history and serenity, your search may just be over.
