From the Zillow listing:
Red Hill (c. 1871), a distinguished Shenandoah Valley farm situated on over 40 acres less than two miles from downtown Lexington, features a stately historic brick manor with frontage on Whistle Creek and the Maury River. Under the stewardship of the same family for over 150 years, its handsome brick residence was meticulously crafted in the Italianate style by skilled vernacular artisans and boasts many original architectural elements such as a central hall adorned with the original staircase and handcrafted balustrade, timeless handmade mantel pieces, high ceilings, a variation of Flemish bond brickwork, limestone foundation, double cornice brackets beneath its hip roof, and original hardwood floors. Enhanced by the geological beauty of Whistle Creek, a pristine stream famously cascading over limestone to the Maury River with deep pools, Red Hill was the site of what was likely the second mill ever constructed in Rockbridge County in the late 1730s. Rich with ecological and historical significance, its mill dam remains sturdily intact and the nearby miller’s house limestone ruins date to well over 250 years, establishing it as one of the first limestone residences built in the area. Encompassing over 40 acres of fields and forest with an additional 13 acres available, Red Hill boasts a prime location less than two miles from downtown Lexington, offering both seclusion and convenience. Red Hill is offered in its current “as is” condition providing a rare restoration opportunity of an irreplaceable historic property in one of Virginia’s most picturesque settings.
