Left side of the house

Built in 1837 by Moses Harshaw, the Stovall House is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The William Stovall family lived in the house from 1893 until the late 1940s.

Mr. Stovall, who owned a sawmill, contributed to the development of the Sautee Valley. The house was later owned by a doctor and eventually sold to the current owner, who turned the house into a bed and breakfast.

Operated as a bed and breakfast and restaurant for more than 20 years, the Stovall House sits on 28 acres of rolling green hills. The property would be ideal for a vineyard or continued use as a small inn and/or restaurant. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and may be eligible for several financial incentives, including an 8 1/2 year tax abatement and tax credits for substantial rehabilitation.

The house would require some cosmetic work, such as minor wood repair and painting. Additional work would depend upon the end use of the house.
