Built in 1809, This $875K Home Was Moved Across State Lines and Masterfully Restored

by

Thirty-three years ago, Gary Goerss spotted a house in North Carolina en route to a company picnic. The dilapidated dwelling made him hit the brakes.

When he walked inside, it was clear that restoration was in order. The windows and roof were gone, and the plaster was missing. Built in 1809 and left to the elements, the home had also been broken into numerous times.

However, Goerss was able to look past the cosmetic issues and see the home’s allure.

“Within seconds, I knew it was going to be my house,” he says. “I’m a history buff and have restored many homes.”

He paid nothing for the structure, but invested heavily in its remodel. And he didn’t just give it a makeover.

He dismantled the old home piece by piece and moved it onto a 5.9-acre parcel in Powhatan, VA, 33 miles west of Richmond.

Now his fully restored and rebuilt home is on the market for $875,000 with Susan George of Re/Max Capital.

The handsome five-bedroom, five-bathroom, 4,300-square-foot residence bears little resemblance to the structure Goerss bought in 1988.
