Property Description
Tucked quietly into the foothills of Huntly, Virginia, where creeks weave through open meadows and mist settles gently over the Blue Ridge, stands a home that feels timeless. Built in 1720, the stone farmhouse at 290 Riley Hollow Road has watched centuries pass, yet it still radiates the same strength, warmth, and grace that have anchored it for generations.
The current owners have lovingly and meticulously renewed and restored this home and the accoutrements of the land, honoring its heritage while crafting it for todays modern lifestyle. The main level has been reimagined — all new flooring stretches through the living spaces, a beautiful enclosed sunroom and large deck have been added to the rear of the property enveloping the endless views. In the kitchen, quartz countertops gleam beside bar counter seating and a custom moveable island, designed from an original 1800s farm table and topped with black walnut milled from a fallen tree on the property — a piece of history reborn and returned home.
Throughout the farmhouse, hand-hewn beams, exposed stone walls, and original woodwork tell stories of another time, while updates throughout bring ease and comfort. Every corner balances authenticity and refinement — a place that feels both rooted and renewed.
Beyond the home, 116.8 acres unfold in every direction — a landscape of beauty and quiet power. Multiple creeks including Bearwallow creek, Sprucepine Branch and waterfall branch thread through the property, feeding a freshwater pond where deer and heron often stop at dusk. The properties stone walls were labor intensively rebuilt and trace the hillsides, marking the passage of time with enduring grace. At the edge of the horizon rises Little Bastard Mountain, a rugged and beloved landmark that seems to guard the valley below.
Practicality meets grandeur here: a massive steel Quonset Building stands ready for whatever your pleasure… equipment, hobbies, small plane hangar, indoor pickleball court or any creative venture one might have; an oversized garage with ample space for 4 vehicles, a storage shed with log shed, a cattle run-in, a former horse stable, and the remains of a spring house provide ample space for work, enjoyment and life on the land. Every element serves a purpose, blending function with beauty in the rhythm of rural Virginia living.
This is more than a property — it's a living legacy. A place where history breathes through every beam and stone, where craftsmanship and care have shaped both the home and the land. Whether you dream of a working farm, a peaceful retreat, or a multigenerational sanctuary, 290 Riley Hollow Road offers a rare and extraordinary chance to own a true piece of Virginia's soul.
Come walk the fields, listen to the creeks, embrace the views and feel the past and present meet in perfect harmony. 290 Riley Hollow Road is more than a home — it's a legacy estate, a story of Virginia's past and future, waiting for its next steward.
