Seller offering up to $10,000 toward buyer's closing costs. Escape to your own private, unrestricted homestead just one mile from the heart of the enchanting, 1880s British-American village of Historic Rugby! Nestled on nearly nine and a half acres of pristine land that backs up directly to the breathtaking Big South Fork National Forrest. A little over 3,000 sqft estate offers the ultimate blend of historic charm, modern luxury, and true country freedom. Because this property sits outside the village ordinances, it is fully unrestricted--making it the perfect canvas for your dream homestead, complete with a large pond and a smaller secondary pond. Step inside to find a beautifully and recently remodeled interior that perfectly captures a timeless, historic farmhouse aesthetic. No detail has been spared, with all-new lighting throughout (2024) and high-end upgrades for ultimate peace of mind, including a new HVAC and gas furnace (2024) and a brand-new kitchen equipped with all-new appliances (2024). The main level features a gorgeous, massive sunroom flooded with natural light, a screened-in back porch perfect for peaceful mornings, and a cozy living area anchored by a new cast-iron fireplace insert (2025). The spacious master suite is conveniently located downstairs for maximum privacy. Upstairs, you'll find a versatile loft area--ideal for a home office, playroom, or reading nook--alongside the additional bedrooms. One upstairs bedroom boasts its own private balcony overlooking the beautiful backyard. The second-story bathroom features a classic clawfoot tub, perfect for a relaxing soak after a long day. Looking to expand or customize? This property offers massive equity and personalization potential with a vast unfinished basement and a large, easily accessible walk-in attic.
