The house and property earned its name because the original owners’ grandchildren affectionately called it “the Woods” and loved visiting. The property is rich in natural beauty surrounded by woods and wildlife that shifts beautifully with every season: Redbuds bloom in spring, Dogwoods flower, and the Magnolia & Chaste Trees fill the summer air with vibrant white & lavender petals. The Current owners have been told that the Magnolia tree was originally grafted from George Washingtons tree at Mount Vernon and the Lavender Chaste Tree was grafted from one of Thomas Jeffersons bushes at Monticello. The house was built in 1890 by John and Cora Holder. The Holders had originally lived at nearby Melrose Castle, where John served as caretaker for a time after the Civil War. A little before 1890, following the death of Melrose Castle’s owner, John’s father gave him more than 200 acres of farmland encompassing Meetze Road and Balls Mill Road toward Crockett Park. Soon afterward, John and Cora built this beautiful farmhouse known as “The Woods.” It's important to note that this property listing represents an extraordinary opportunity—not simply to purchase a home in the country, but to become the next steward(s) of a property with a special history that has been cherished by those who called it "Home".
