Wounded and injured Civil War soldiers recuperated at this house thus creating the namesake of the property and surrounding valley. The classic farmhouse contains a total of approximately 3,800 square feet of living area. Extensive restoration work including large additions and upgrades have been completed in recent years with a major emphasis placed on preserving the integrity of the older structure while creating a very functional home. The first floor plan includes an entry foyer, living room, family room, sun room, dining room, kitchen, master bedroom, bath and mud room (boot room) with laundry. The second floor has a library, two bedrooms and two baths. Highlights of the dwelling include beautiful log walls, cathedral ceilings with exposed wood beams and five fireplaces. The dwelling has wonderful outdoor spaces including a two story front porch and large wrap around wood deck in the rear with covered porch and trellis. Located to the rear of the farmhouse is an iconic stone creamery and a small log smoke house used as a summer guest cottage with bedroom, bath and screened porch. Additional improvements to the property include a guest house, carriage house (garage) and a variety of farm support buildings. The guest house is located along the asphalt paved driveway between McKinney Hollow Road (State Route 633) and the farmhouse. Most of the other improvements are grouped in an area near the farmhouse.
