About 205 Old Us Highway 421

Step back in time and own a rare piece of Appalachian history located in the historic community of Sugar Grove. This beautifully preserved 3-bedroom 3-bath home sits on four riverfront acres offering a perfect blend of rustic elegance, natural beauty, and rich heritage. The A.C. (Clyde) Mast estate has been lovingly renovated and cared for by the current owners for the past 25 years. The craftsmanship, hardwood floors, and period details have been lovingly preserved and thoughtfully updated for modern comfort. The estate includes Sugar Grove's historic A.C. Mast General Store, built in 1903; the 1929 two-story, Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired Arts and Crafts-style home; and a 1936 stone guest cottage, along with a 4-car garage. In the main house, in addition to the upper-level bedrooms and baths, the living spaces feature a spacious library, a bar, and an expansive entertaining area that spans the living room, kitchen, and formal dining room. Beyond the kitchen is a sunlit sitting porch for enjoying morning coffee, which leads to the large deck. The owners lived on this porch! All the rooms retain their original charm and character while incorporating modern amenities, beautifully blending the old with the new to create a warm and inviting ambiance. The old stone guest house, built with hand-laid native stone, is rich in rustic charm and a great guest retreat, an artist's studio, or a flexible living space. All of this is set amid mature trees and dreamy landscaping, meandering paths, open green spaces, and serene grandeur. Just to sit on the covered front porch with a good book would be worth considering this lifestyle! The old store can be used for just that, a general store! Or anything your heart desires. Office, art gallery, workshop, storage. Fulfill your dreams! The sky's the limit. This property offers so many possibilities!
