About the host

Hosted by Sheri Crenshaw

Host profile image

Moved to this area in 2013 from Hendersonville, NC to make live my dream of owning a farm. It has been a labor of love as we have slowly restored the old farmhouse and property. We can't wait to share it with you.

Why they chose this property

It was established in 1910 and was used by a Doctor Rucker then sold to the Biggerstaff. In 2013 we purchased from them. We are the 3rd owner of the home and property. Although many of the family still lives close by. We loved that the Biggerstaffs ran it as a farm and we have learned many stories over time about the property. We love history and nastalgia, and love the farm life.

What makes this property unique

We are visionaries but the home had good bones and we knew that we could make it shine. The property needed some TLC and landscaping and gardens, repair fencing for farm animals. All have been done to create the perfect retreat or get away. Enjoy the goats as they frolic the Cows and the Sheep. There are several swings on property and many gardens to peruse along with all the animals.
