The story
Built circa 1789, Stoney Point is one of Tennessee's oldest surviving brick homes. This extraordinary property has remained in the Armstrong family since its construction and is now being offered for sale for the first time in more than two centuries. Perched atop a hill on 3.77 acres, it commands sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. Located just outside historic Rogersville, it is approximately 1.5 hours from Knoxville. Offering 3,896 square feet, the home features four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious kitchen, generous living areas, and abundant bonus space. The expansive attic also presents the opportunity to create a finished third floor. Throughout the home, preservationists will find eight original fireplaces, beautifully preserved historic flooring, and exceptional decorative paint finishes dating to the 1830s and earlier. While restoration is needed, the house presents a rare opportunity to preserve one of Tennessee's architectural treasures. The property's history is as remarkable as the home itself. It is associated with a visit from the future King Louis-Philippe of France in 1796 and has ties to the American Civil War. Numerous nineteenth-century furnishings, some believed to date to the original 1789 residence, may also convey with the property. To help ensure its future, the owners require prospective buyers to submit a thoughtful preservation and restoration plan with any offer. Opportunities to acquire a property of this historical significance are exceedingly rare.
