Apply today at ApplyWithGuy.com For more than a century, the Rakestraw Jones Estate has stood as a quiet witness to the changing seasons of Alabama life. Situated on 6.26 acres in the heart of Ashville, this thoughtfully restored 1890s Craftsman offers a rare opportunity to own one of the area's most distinctive historic properties. Encompassing 3,538 square feet, the home welcomes you with soaring ceilings, oversized rooms, and original architectural details rarely found in modern construct...ion. Built from old-growth timber and crafted to endure, it retains the warmth, character, and authenticity that only time can create. 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, offering 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 remarkably private and peaceful setting. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its historic character, the home offers the best of both worlds: timeless craftsmanship and modern comfort. Unlike many historic properties, it is not subject to historic registry restrictions, giving 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.
