This house was built just after the civil war, and was the Beam Family homestead which covered several thousand acres. The original two-story house was built by George W. Beam and his son John Beam Sr. (1885-1980) was born here. Restoring and preserving this area remains core to what we’re doing with the land.
Just beyond the hill from the main house sits a quaint cabin, lovingly restored to reflect its original charm. While it still needs a few upgrades to make it guest-ready—like new wood flooring, installation of the already-purchased AC unit, and some foundation leveling at the rear—it holds a unique, rustic character that makes it truly special.
Spanning approximately 1,200 square feet, this quiet corner of the farm produces 30–40 fresh eggs daily—an easy, steady source of nourishment for farm guests. It also has peacocks, guinea fowl, and the blue/green eggs from South American chickens.
Scattered across the landscape, twelve buildings grace the farm with their purpose and historic soul. It’s a working homestead, rich with stories. A garage, a hand-built chapel, and an old canning shed whisper of seasons past. The grand barn stands like a sentinel, flanked by two tractor barns and feed silos. Nearby, three outbuildings once built for pigs or goats offer room for the animals. Two water pump houses offer photo opportunities.
There is half a mile of frontage to the Indian Creek along the north and east ends of the property. The bank is sandy and moves around as the water rises and falls with rains.
Nestled beside the gentle bends of Little Indian Creek, this post–Civil War home stands as a quiet witness to time. The waters, clear and winding, wrap the land in a silver ribbon—reflecting sunlight, stories, and the hush of Piedmont breezes.
