Don't just read history, live in it! Nestled in the rolling landscape of Rectortown, Magnolia Hill c 1880 sits on 1.13 acres and embodies the spirit of the Virginia countryside.

Theres a sense of history here all while bridging the past with the present. Magnolia Hill is a rare gem that has been lovingly preserved to retain its original woodworking, hardware, and wide-plank floors while seamlessly incorporating modern comforts.
