Look Inside: 170-Year Old Walnut Grove Plantation On The Market

SPOTSYLVANIA, VA — Travel back in time in this impressive and meticulously maintained historic home. Walnut Grove is on the Virginia Landmarks Register and the National Register of Historic Places, and rests on eight picturesque acres.

Dr. William M. Chadduck, who has owned the property since 1994, and his wife, the late Ginger Graves Chadduck, can take credit for restoring the antebellum plantation home, according to the Free Lance-Star. The couple took on the work of restoring Walnut Grove without sacrificing its historical integrity.

Walnut Grove was established in 1829 by Jonathan Johnson II. The existing Greek Revival-style house was built in the 1840s by William Jennings, a highly regarded master builder in the area at that time. The current home replaced the 18th-century Coleman house whose stone fireplace remains nearby.

This home features a separate 3-bedroom guest house, formal gardens, tennis court, a separate garage and workshop, and outbuildings. The interior has been continuously updated and restored featuring 12-foot ceilings, grain-painted wainscoating, faux marbled mantles and baseboards, original heart pine floors, a renovated kitchen, seven fireplaces and more.
