Don't miss this octagon beauty surrounded by 22 serene acres, just minutes from wineries & the Grand River.From the mysterious little room accessed by the tiny staircase to the attic access up to what supposedly was once a widow's walk, this is a fascinating piece of County history.According to local lore, the original owner was Rufus Payne who built the dwelling after the Civil War.He became influenced by a designer of the time who touted the advantages of octagon homes.Supposedly they allowed for add'l living space, more natural light, were easier to heat & remained cooler in the summer.Lots of work needed here, but with these high ceilings, the wrapping veranda, the VIBE, the sheer size of the rooms & the octagonal chimnies (have you EVER?!) it captures the imagination & begs to be brought back to its former glory.This could be the homestead of a lifetime-or an unbelievably romantic event venue or air BnB (double check with zoning to insure it meets your use scope!).
