Step into history while enjoying modern luxury! Originally built in 1949 by the Wagoner family, this property was once known locally as “The Pioneer”—a bustling restaurant and general store serving travelers, farmers, and neighbors with hearty breakfasts, fishing bait, snacks, and even 50–100 lb ice blocks for homes without electricity. Behind the house, a spring once supplied locals with water for cooking and washing, and the southern property line still marks the division between Hampshire and Mineral County.

Today, the property has been completely reimagined—taken down to its original framing and rebuilt with all new electrical, plumbing, and three separate HVAC systems (two electric, one propane). Just one full propane tank can heat the home for about two years at a cozy 72. High-speed internet lines were installed along the road in summer 2024 (connection coming soon!). The home is fully insulated with R-19 & R-30, including interior walls, floors, and ceilings, ensuring year-round comfort.

Inside, you’ll find 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a cozy fireplace, and a state-of-the-art kitchen with brand-new appliances. This home has never been lived in since the complete renovation, giving you the feel of brand-new construction with the unmatched charm of a historic build.

The rear of the home was regraded to improve watershed, add additional parking, and create easy, stair-free access to the upper level. Sitting on 36.8 acres across three plots (8.5, 4.49 and 23.8 acres), the property boasts a network of wide trails and roads, perfect for walking or driving throughout the grounds. The park-like hardwood forest is breathtaking—towering oaks with high canopies, soft moss underfoot, and virtually no undergrowth.

A charming oak-built barn remains in excellent, usable condition, with a large flat area behind it and convenient vehicle access. Whether you dream of keeping animals, creating a workshop, or simply enjoying the peaceful scenery, this property offers a rare combination of history, craftsmanship, and natural beauty.

Don’t miss the chance to own a one-of-a-kind property where timeless charm meets modern living!
