I love Jacob Holt designed houses! He was a very prominent architect in the south back in antebellum days. The newel post and some of that woodwork looks like classic Thomas Day! Kinderton Manor was built in 1834. It is located on four acres in Clarksville, Virginia. I know this area very well. Clarksville is on the beautiful Kerr Lake. Kinderton Country Club and Golf Course used to be the land for this house. The home features a grand entrance, beautiful staircase, tall ceilings, gorgeous murals, crown moulding, wide baseboards, wainscoting and vintage tiled bathrooms. There is a guest cottage on the property. Eight bedrooms, eight bathrooms and 7,760 square feet. $1,290,000
