Have you been dreaming of living in a truly historic house? This is a rare opportunity to experience all the enjoyment of living on a property that’s well known in this region and still being close to all Blacksburg has to offer. Feel taken back to the peace of the past, yet be close to it all--local schools (high and middle school within 1 mile, elementary within 2 miles), Virginia Tech (less than 5 miles), restaurants, stores, and 3 miles to 460. The Linkous-Kipps house and homestead was originally built by Henry Linkous and his wife Elizabeth Shiflet in 1799. The weatherboarding on this L-shaped farmhouse masks one of the county’s most substantial log dwelling. The house has a hall-parlor plan as well as a springhouse on the property. The Linkous-Kipps house has been listed on both VA Landmark Register & National Registry.
