About this home
Step back in time and experience the rare opportunity to own a piece of Tazewell County, Virginia history. Nestled in a picturesque setting between Tazewell and Richlands and adjacent to the Tazewell County Country Club, the historic Deskins-Maxwell House combines the craftsmanship and character of the early 1800s with the comforts of modern living. Situated on approximately 4.28± acres, this remarkable limestone residence features four bedrooms, two and one-half bathrooms, and a peaceful country setting rich in heritage, charm, and natural beauty. The Deskins-Maxwell House stands as a lasting symbol of the early settlement and development of Tazewell County.
