Lindsay–Tatum–Wyatt House (c. 1876) — Fully Restored Historic Riverfront Estate A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Rowan County and South River history: the Lindsay–Tatum–Wyatt House, circa 1876, now fully restored. Built by John “Captain Jack” Lindsay, this two-story wood-frame 'centennial' home remains remarkably close to its original footprint. The home features a lovely pierced wood railing wrapping the 34' front porch, along with original eave brackets and unusual decorative ornamentation—details that reflect extraordinary pride in workmanship. The house, situated on the southeast side of the South Yadkin (South River) with approximately 1,600 feet of river frontage, follows an L-shaped plan with a center hallway. The property includes a historic 1,173 sq. ft. original bathhouse overlooking a sandy beach area below at the river—a popular bathing and picnic spot in the late 1800s. This jaw-dropping rustic space showcases open-span design, exposed truss ceilings, and a porch with seasonal river views. The bathhouse historically served double duty as a Mason's lodge and beach house, making it extremely rare as it is beautiful. Circa 2017-2019, the home received sensitive restoration and permitted major updates, including but not limited to: New Kitchen with granite countertops, dual-fuel range, farmhouse sink and custom cabinetry; New Bathrooms; New Electrical service; New Plumbing and HVAC; original wide heart-of-pine floors throughout; Gas Fireplaces with remote control. The home is designed with a flexible layout and guest-ready space, with TWO primary suites: one on the first floor, and a truly stunning, second-floor primary suite that includes its own private sitting room with exposed brick fireplace—a perfect retreat. You'll note original shiplap walls and ceilings in many of the rooms. In the living room and upstairs ensuite sitting room, the shiplap walls are unpainted and stained to a warm glow. Accents like exposed brick behind the kitchen stove and at the upstairs bath are unique features of the house. The two-car garage has been thoughtfully converted into a boutique floral shop, complete with a dog-wash station and a mini-split HVAC system. The property also includes a barn with 8 stalls, a tack room/utility room, permanent stairs to a hayloft, and solar panels installed on the roof. Additional Property Notes: This property is approximately 18 acres (much of this is floodplain) along the river, with the house and garage safely on higher ground, above the flood zone. The property adjoins state game land for an added buffer. The neighboring property has a private airfield.
