Step into a remarkable piece of Virginia history at Aspen Hill, also known as the Breckenridge House. Originally built in 1839 as the home of Captain Jim Figgatt and later acquired by the prominent James Breckenridge family, this historic property tells a story that spans generations.

Once listed on Botetourt County's endangered historic sites list in 2023, Aspen Hill has since been thoughtfully restored while preserving the character and craftsmanship that make it so special. Throughout the home, you'll find beautiful period details, original hardwood floors, seven fireplaces, renovated bathrooms, and a gourmet kitchen featuring a commercial grade Viking stove and vent hood.

Impressive ceiling heights continue upstairs, giving the second level a spacious and grand feel rarely found in a home of this era. Designed for both everyday living and memorable gatherings, Aspen Hill is the perfect place to entertain family and friends.

Two inviting porches create welcoming outdoor spaces, including a front porch swing that practically begs for a glass of sweet tea and a quiet afternoon. A spacious deck connects the home's outdoor living areas and additional flex space, making it easy to move from indoor entertaining to evenings outside.

Accessed from the exterior, the bonus space offers endless possibilities for a home office, studio, guest area, hobby room or other creative use. Outside, the property also offers a large, cleared, level lot with plenty of room to enjoy. Set in the quaint, historic town of Fincastle, Aspen Hill is perfectly positioned between Roanoke and Lexington with easy access to some of the best outdoor recreation in Virginia's Blue Ridge.

Spend the day hiking the Appalachian Trail or exploring the Blue Ridge Parkway, or head to the nearby James River for kayaking, fishing and paddling. The location also places you within easy reach of numerous colleges and universities, including Hollins University, Roanoke College, Virginia Tech, Washington and Lee University and Virginia Military Institute.

Adding to its versatility, the property has been approved for use as a Bed and Breakfast, creating a rare opportunity for a private residence, historic retreat or hospitality venture. This is more than a home, it is an opportunity to become the next steward of a beautifully restored piece of Virginia history.
