Welcome to " THE WILLOWS " One of the Most Beautiful Farms owned by the same family for more than 300 years in Beautiful Caroline County ! This Amazing Property was the Home of Sidney E King, a renowned Artist and beloved Virginia painter. King's original Art Studio still exists on the property! This is YOUR chance to own a unique historical homeplace nestled on a knoll overlooking more than 80 acres of beautiful farmland, mixed with pines, hardwoods, an English garden and a beautiful pond stocked with fish. The home itself was built in 1900, has 2 fireplaces, a stone and vinyl exterior, stoned patio terrace and is accentuated by nature's beauty as walnut, pear and pecan trees, mature shrubs and blooming flowers surround the one-of-a-kind estate. The house has 8 rooms with some updates throughout while its original charm continues to shine through. Grab your fishing pole and take a stroll along a peaceful rolling path and across the pond bridge to fish awhile and breathe in the beautiful natural landscape that surrounds you. Wildlife are common place as you'll regularly see deer and turkey grazing in the open spaces. Perfect for animal lovers with plenty of room for dogs, horses, chickens, cows, and goats too ! 13 acres are currently leased for farming. There is a two-acre parcel that has been cleared with a road and prepped for new home construction near the pond. Septic perks for a four bedroom conventional system. Outside structures include a large barn, two chicken coops, and several storage sheds. Sidney E. King's Art Studio sits to the right of the main house and is equipped with electric, plumbing and one bathroom. This unique and storied structure could be updated and remain an artist's creative space or could be renovated for new purposes such as an in-law suite, gym, home office or guest quarters - so many possibilities! 31050 Sparta Road truly has so many features we can't fit them all here - please see the attached feature pages and reference the links below to learn more about Sidney E. King's life and artistic work.
