SITED ON A GENTLE RISE OVERLOOKING HOLMAN'S CREEK, THIS HISTORIC PROPERTY HAS BEEN AN EYEWITNESS TO THE HISTORY OF THE SHENANDOAH VALLEY FOR OVER 180 YEARS. BUILT CIRCA 1820-1830 BY THE WINE FAMILY, IT ORIGINALLY WAS PART OF A 600+ ACRE FARM THAT STRETCHED TO THE FORESTVILLE AREA. FOR MANY YEARS IT WAS KNOWN SIMPLY AS ""THE WINE FARM"", REFERRING TO SAMUEL WINE WHO WAS BORN IN THE HOUSE IN 1838 AN WHO LIVED HIS ENTIRE LIFE THERE, HAVING INHERITED THE HOMESTEAD FROM HIS FATHER. MIRACULOUSLY IT SURVIVED ""THE BURNING"" OF OCTOBER 1864 WHEN GEORGE CUSTER'S UNION CAVALRY BURNED BARNS, MILLS AND HOUSES ALONG HOLMAN'S CREEK. THE ORIGINAL STRUCTURE IS HAND-HEWN LOGS, COVERED WITH PERIOD TONGUE AND GROOVE PANELING ON THE INTERIOR. INSIDE, THE FLOORS ARE YELLOW PINE AND THE INTERIOR DOORS ARE ORIGINAL AND EVEN BOAST PERIOD HARDWARE. EXPOSED BEAMS THROUGHOUT THE MAIN STRUCTURE. LARGE STONE FIREPLACE IN LIVING ROOM HAS BEEN EQUIPPED FOR GAS LOGS. LARGE KITCHEN FEATURING EXPOSED LOG WALLS, KITCHEN RECENTLY UPGRADED WITH A STAINLESS STEEL, DUAL-FUEL GAS RANGE AND BEAUTIFUL CHERRY CABINETS. THIS IS TRULY ONE OF SHENANDOAH COUNTY'S CLASSIC HOMES.
