Step back in time and own a rare piece of Appalachian history located in the historic community of Sugar Grove. This beautifully preserved 3-bedroom 3-bath home sits on four riverfront acres offering a perfect blend of rustic elegance, natural beauty, and rich heritage. The A.C. (Clyde) Mast estate has been lovingly renovated and cared for by the current owners for the past 25 years. The craftsmanship, hardwood floors, and period details have been lovingly preserved and thoughtfully updated for modern comfort. The estate includes Sugar Grove's historic A.C. Mast General Store, built in 1903; the 1929 two-story, Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired Arts and Crafts-style home; and a 1936 stone guest cottage, along with a 4-car garage. In the main house, in addition to the upper-level bedrooms and baths, the living spaces feature a spacious library, a bar, and an expansive entertaining area that spans the living room, kitchen, and formal dining room. Beyond the kitchen is a sunlit sitting porch for enjoying morning coffee, which leads to the large deck. The owners lived on this porch! All the rooms retain their original charm and character while incorporating modern amenities, beautifully blending the old with the new to create a warm and inviting ambiance. The old stone guest house, built with hand-laid native stone, is rich in rustic charm and a great guest retreat, an artist's studio, or a flexible living space. All of this is set amid mature trees and dreamy landscaping, meandering paths, open green spaces, and serene grandeur. Just to sit on the covered front porch with a good book would be worth considering this lifestyle! The old store can be used for just that, a general store! Or anything your heart desires. Office, art gallery, workshop, storage. Fulfill your dreams! The sky's the limit. This property offers so many possibilities! Steeped in nearly a century of history, this extraordinary home offers tranquility and seclusion while also providing a connection to one of the region's most beloved landmarks. Sellers recount stories of people stopping by the store to share their memories of the history. We've included a book of stories in our attachments. Let your mind go wild. Both the guest house and store offer potential for generating income. The main home used to be a boarding house. So many possibilities! Whether you're drawn by the heritage, the natural surroundings, or the possibilities for hosting and homesteading, this unique estate invites you to write your own chapter in its enduring history. The listing broker must accompany all showings. Pre-qualified buyers only. You truly must see this picturesque property with so many possibilities to fulfill your dreams!
