Nestled in a picturesque setting between Tazewell and Richlands and adjacent to the Tazewell County Country Club, the historic Deskins-Maxwell House combines the craftsmanship and character of the early 1800s with the comforts of modern living. Situated on approximately 4.28± acres, this remarkable limestone residence features 3,359 sq ft, 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a peaceful country setting rich in heritage, charm, and natural beauty. The Deskins-Maxwell House stands as a lasting symbol of the early settlement and development of Tazewell County.

Outside, the park-like setting invites you to unwind on the welcoming front porch. Listen to the peaceful sounds of the nearby creek while enjoying the shade of mature trees, including a magnificent sugar maple once tapped for maple syrup production. Additional improvements include a detached garage, chicken house and lot, and a historic spring house. More than a home, this property is an opportunity to own and preserve a significant piece of Tazewell County history while enjoying the comforts and conveniences of modern-day living.
