"Own a Piece of Virginia’s Living History: Gold Hill House, circa 1825
Tucked into the rolling countryside of Buckingham County, Gold Hill House invites you to live among legacy. Steeped in nearly two centuries of character, this extraordinary 4-bedroom, 3-bath home is more than a residence—it’s a soulful retreat on 5 private acres, complete with 3.5 acres of fenced and gated land ready for animals, gardens, or starry-night bonfires.
At first glance, the wide front porch and new metal roof whisper Southern hospitality; inside, original hardwood floors, lofty ceilings, and historic details offer timeless elegance. The heart of the home blends past and present—from the Buckingham slate kitchen floor and granite countertops to stainless appliances and two fireplaces, including one in the serene library.
**SHOWN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY**
Whether you’re hosting in the formal dining room, enjoying a peaceful read by the fire, or stepping out under the rear pergola to watch the sun set over the Blue Ridge Mountains, every inch of this home exudes rustic charm and quiet luxury. Upstairs, four bedrooms share a refreshed full bath and brand-new carpet, adding comfort to the home’s historic grace.
Outside, a two-story barn with landscaped exterior, mature fruit trees, and groves of pecan and walnut create a sanctuary for nature lovers and hobby farmers alike. Significant infrastructure upgrades (by JES, with transferable warranty) provide added peace of mind.
If your dream is to wake up in history—and breathe deeply in open space—Gold Hill House is ready to write its next chapter with you."
