Property Description
Here is a rare chance to own a true piece of Grayson County history. Built in the early 1830s, this home at 61 Caprine Lane is featured in Memories of Grayson County by Clevie H. Wingate and noted on old maps as the “Greek Post Office.” This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home with about 2,000 sq. ft. retains its historic character with fireplaces in many rooms (gas hookups ready), while the guest house features gas logs already installed. The property also includes the original spring house, which still flows, though both the main home and guest house are serviced by a well. Thoughtful updates have ensured the home's comfort and preservation, including new windows (2015), a new roof with new plywood, all new insulation and drywall, updated electrical, fresh paint, and refinished polyurethane floors. Set on 14 acres by boundary, this property is surrounded on three sides by Peach Bottom Creek, offering privacy, natural beauty, and abundant wildlife. Rolling fields and wooded areas create a peaceful setting, while the location is just minutes from the New River, the New River Trail, Galax, and Independence. This historic homestead is a rare opportunity for anyone who values history, heritage, and the timeless beauty of the Virginia mountains.
