The George Washington Hollida House | 4781 Scrabble Rd, Shepherdstown, WV 25443
5 Beds | 2.5 Baths | 2,721 Sq Ft | 5 Unrestricted Acres
Step into a piece of West Virginia history with the George Washington Hollida House, a stunning c.1840 brick Colonial I-House nestled on 5 UNRESTRICTED acres in scenic Scrabble, just minutes from historic Shepherdstown and the Potomac River. Rich in character and brimming with income potential, this distinctive property blends period charm with modern versatility.
The main residence offers 2,721 square feet of finished living space, including five spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one half bath. Four bedrooms are located on the upper level with a full bath, while the fifth bedroom (or optional den) and another full bath are conveniently located on the main level. The home has five wood-burning fireplaces and one propane, wide-plank hardwood floors, classic plaster walls, and charming period details like mantelpieces and built-ins.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully renovated with upgraded countertops, custom-painted cabinets, and modern appliances, offering a seamless blend of historic appeal and everyday functionality. A formal dining room, living room, and foyer provide multiple gathering spaces, mini split systems, and propane heating ensure year-round comfort.
Step outside to enjoy a large front porch, brick courtyard, extensive hardscaping, and peaceful views of the partly wooded and landscaped lot. A metal roof, and solid brick construction speak to the durability and craftsmanship of this historic home.
Adding to the property’s appeal is a charming guest cottage, currently operated as a highly-rated Airbnb, complete with a loft bedroom, studio space, full bath, and sauna—perfect for visiting family, a private artist’s retreat, or a standalone rental. A black walnut bank barn, built in 1945, features a 16x32 workshop and abundant storage.
The property previously operated as a highly-rated Airbnb, making it an incredible opportunity for investors or anyone looking to live where they earn. The unrestricted acreage create potential for tiny homes, RV pads, or event spaces.
Located in Berkeley County (not within city limits), this one-of-a-kind estate offers easy access to Martinsburg, Shepherdstown, and Potomac River Dam 4—ideal for kayaking, fishing, or simply enjoying the outdoors.
