Notes from the listing agent

HISTORIC 22+ ACRE HARRIMAN ESTATE. An iconic local landmark for more than a century, THE MANOR AT STOWERS HILL rests prominently atop a hill in the shadows of picturesque Walden Ridge. Exquisitely crafted in 1905 by pioneer businessman Merville Stowers (Coal/Lumber/Ice), the storybook property features a 5,400 sf Victorian Manor House, Seasonal Event or Party Barn, Carriage House Garage, ''Groom's Coup''('Man Cave'), Guest House, and 22+ acres offering boundless options for residential development or celebration use. Now used as the primary residence of its current owners, the Manor House offers endless possibilities for continued use as a private home, a nightly rental, or grand reception hall. Already a popular Airbnb rental, the 2 bedroom Guest House is a proven cash producer, along with the Seasonal Event Barn--which has evolved into one of the area's most sought-after celebration locations. And, with 22+ acres of potential luxury cottage sites surrounded by breathtaking vistas-- the future on Stowers Hill seems bright!! // The MANOR HOUSE showcases 3 floors of fine craftsmanship, including the main level with Twin Parlors, Library/Music Room, Formal Dining Room, Eat-in Kitchen w/vintage built-ins, Screened Porch, 4 cavernous 2nd floor Bedrooms, 2.5 updated Baths, hand carved stairwell & mantles, 3rd floor Game Room w/exotic woodwork, a spacious Unfinished Basement, and much more. Its appeal is JOYOUS & IMPRESSIVE--enhanced by magical turrets, soaring ceilings, gleaming hardwood floors, and a glorious Wrap-Around Porch. Currently used seasonally (non-climate controlled), the EVENT BARN is a repurposed sensation --with a Gathering Hall (weddings/corporate events/parties), Celebration Porch (dining/dancing/ assemblies), ADA-approved Restrooms, and ''Jaw-Dropping'' Charm!! The Manor House and Event Barn sit along-side the re-imagined original Poultry House (now called the ''GROOM'S COUP'' (a picturesque 'Man Cave'), and a 2 car CARRIAGE HOUSE Garage (used for equipment storage)-- all with dazzling views of the property's lush CELEBRATION FIELD (ceremonies/parking/future expansion). The GUEST HOUSE is nestled at the base of the Manor's hilltop, with views of the property's gated entrance, basket-woven design border wall, and babbling spring-fed brook (picture book-worthy allure!)./ AGENT NOTE: The story of this property is VAST and more comprehensive than space allows. Originally constructed as an Agricultural Homestead Estate, THE MANOR AT STOWERS HILL was named and conceptualized as a private residence and event venue by its current owners. It now awaits the consideration of a discerning new owner. (4 separately recorded parcels comprise this 22+ acre offering). NOTE: Manor house original fireplaces are decorative only
