Property Description
Encompassing 3,538 square feet, the home welcomes you with soaring ceilings, oversized rooms, and original architectural details rarely found in modern construction. Built from old-growth timber and crafted to endure, it retains the warmth, character, and authenticity that only a home shaped by time can provide.
Outside, rustic fieldstone masonry, classic clapboard siding, and a traditional rocking-chair front porch embody the timeless appeal of Southern architecture. The estate also includes a two-stall barn and two detached single-car garages, providing ample space for hobbies, animals, equipment, or storage.
Beyond the homesite, two wooded parcels are traversed by Little Canoe Creek and back directly to undeveloped state-owned forestry land. Mature hardwoods, abundant wildlife, and flowing water create a setting that feels remarkably private and peaceful.
Thoughtfully updated while preserving its historic character, the home offers the best of both worlds: timeless craftsmanship and modern livability. Unlike many historic properties, it is not subject to historic registry restrictions, allowing future owners the freedom to personalize the property as they choose.
Located less than two blocks from Ashville Community Park, the Splash Pad, tennis courts, and the St. Clair County Courthouse, the property offers an exceptional balance of privacy and convenience.
Whether envisioned as a multi-generational estate, mini-farm, or private retreat, the Rakestraw Jones Estate offers a rare combination of history, acreage, natural beauty, and small-town accessibility.
