1208 Manteo Rd

One-of-a-kind converted barn on 20 secluded acres! This property started life as a barn in the late 1930s and was transformed into a home beginning in the 1990s. The original owner, was a skilled woodworker, poured his craft into every detail. Inside, you’ll find incredible features like South American mahogany doors, trim, and cabinets on the second floor, and African mahogany flooring on the third. The original hayfork still hangs in the family room, now repurposed as a chandelier that stretches outside just like it did decades ago. Even the mantel has history — salvaged from Richmond’s famous Mayo House. The first floor boasts a massive 60' x 23' rec room with its own stage, perfect for entertaining, music, or gatherings. Outside, the property is bordered by Sycamore Creek, which flows right to the James River (yes, you can kayak there!), and there’s nearly a half mile of frontage on Manteo Road and minutes from the world renowned community of Yogaville!! This home is truly unlike anything else out there — a rare mix of history, craftsmanship, and privacy.
