Centrally located between Vinton, Hocking, and Athens counties, this 4/5 Bed, 2 Bath home is rich in history & ready for someone with a vision to come in! The home was built in 1861 at the beginning of the Civil War by the Fischer Family. It is said a Confederate General had a meeting here! In 1957 the last surviving family member donated the home & its contents to Ohio University. OU used the home to house its professionals coming into the area to visit and referred to it as "The Fischer House" after the family. In 2018 a local Vinton County family took the home over. Throughout the home you will find original hardwood floors, large rooms, textured wallpaper, and beautiful tile fireplaces, a grand staircase & a butlers staircase. Stained glass windows. An old carriage house still remains on the property. Big trees give amazing shade to the lawn and gives a "court yard" feel. One of the best parts is the half wrap around porch!! Roof, gutters, leaf guards replaced in 2021. This location would be great for many endeavors such as a bed and breakfast, gift shop, wedding venue, or air-bnb! 4 Miles to Lake Hope & Zaleski State Forest. 6 Miles to Moonville. 18 Miles to Hocking Hills.
