Welcome to 250 Lynch Ridge in Walton, West Virginia, where history, craftsmanship, and country living come together on 69.95 acres of secluded Appalachian property. Tucked away behind a gated entrance, this property offers a beautifully restored historic log home, custom-designed additions, mature timber, and open pastureland. The home is positioned well away from the road and neighboring properties, creating a private setting surrounded by the natural landscape of Roane County.

At the heart of the property is an original 1863 log home that has been carefully incorporated into a custom-built residence. Rather than replacing the original structure, the owners have preserved its historic character while expanding the home with thoughtfully designed additions that blend traditional craftsmanship with modern comfort and convenience. The original log structure dates back more than 160 years, and subsequent additions completed in 1996 and 2003 have created a spacious living environment while retaining the home's unique character.

The home offers a spacious, primarily one-level living layout, with additional bonus space or attic area above. The design provides comfortable everyday living while showcasing the distinctive features of the original log home. This is a property where the history of the original structure remains part of the home's character rather than simply being a detail of its past.

Numerous improvements have been made to the home over the years. The property notes include a Goodman HVAC system installed in 2024, updated siding in 2023, a roof and seamless gutters installed in 2024, and a new deck and front steps completed in 2025. A city water line was installed in 2022, and a 50-gallon electric water heater was installed in 2020. The property also benefits from free natural gas, according to the seller.

Outside, the property offers a combination of mature timber and pasture fields, creating a diverse landscape with room for a variety of uses. Portions of the acreage are partially fenced, providing options for livestock, gardening, or other small-farm activities. The wooded areas offer recreational opportunities, wildlife habitat, and potential timber value, while the open ground provides a different setting for enjoying and managing the property.

Wildlife is abundant throughout the surrounding landscape, with white-tailed deer and other native species frequenting the property. The combination of timber, open fields, and secluded surroundings provides opportunities for hunting, wildlife observation, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors.

The property also includes a detached two-car garage and a pole barn. A separate area with septic is noted for a trailer site, providing additional flexibility for storage or other uses, subject to verification of the existing improvements and applicable requirements. Paved road frontage provides convenient access, while a gated entrance helps maintain the property's private setting. A long driveway leads back to the residence, keeping the home tucked away from passing traffic.

Perhaps the most appealing feature of this property is the combination of its historic home and secluded acreage. It is not often that a buyer finds an original 1863 log structure that has been incorporated into a larger, thoughtfully updated residence, accompanied by nearly 70 acres of timber and pasture. The setting offers a sense of separation from surrounding homes while still providing the convenience of paved road access and city water.

Whether your interests include historic homes, country living, hunting, small-scale farming, or simply owning a larger tract of land with room to enjoy the outdoors, this Roane County property offers a distinctive combination of improvements and acreage.
