The historical heart of the Black Patch, Wallonia was and is one of the great tobacco growing communities of south central Kentucky. The Writer's House was built by Doctor Haydon in 1903 from site-sawn lumber using a Sears Catalog Plan.

The house is documented in Bill Cunningham's book, On Bended Knee, as the site where the leader of the Tobacco Rebellion was treated for head wounds suffered as he led his band of Night Riders back from the great Warehouse Raid of Hopkinsville in 1907.

The Writer's House was photographed by Nancy Nye for the Summerhouse project in 2005. This is an old house with three gas fireplaces and a private, secluded, feeling with a north-facing orientation. The main room offers ample room to paint with northern light. There is a simple farmer's cafe across the street which serves breakfast and supper every day (except Sunday) from 5AM to 2PM.

There is a deck facing south and a 4x8ft. concrete tub in the backyard overlooking the pond.
Our climate is mild all year around and the spring and fall are especially pretty.

The Farmersmarket is in Cadiz with organic produce etc, and the Mennonites have an abundance of fresh fruits , vegetables and eggs available, at biking distance.

Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 2001

A country house experience is something everyone should have. Whether in the lazy days of summer with your children rambling around the yard, or in the spring and autumn by yourself with a final draft, a good book and a glass of local bourbon, The Writer's House has offered my guests and me solace from the hurly-burly. There's nothing to do here, enjoy.

Why the Owner Chose Cadiz

Centrally located in the heart of America - forests, lakes and raptors - why wouldn't I choose this?

The Unique Benefits of this House

Shh.... There's that pack of coyotes in the distance, over by the river, howling at night. Do you hear them?

    • The Writer's House was a lovely, spacious retreat in a quiet, secluded area. We loved the fire places, art, furnature, open rooms and over-all feel of the lovely old house. The pictures up on the page hardly begin to do it justice! The owner was very helpful, full of advise and easy to correspond with. It was a fantastic stay and we can't wait to go back! Thanks for sharing your wonderful retreat Johan!
