This stately home was originally constructed to serve as a boys’ school known as the Piedmont Institute, which officially opened its doors in 1850.
During the Civil War, the school was temporarily closed, and the building was repurposed as a hospital to care for the wounded. After the war, Piedmont reopened as a girls’ school, continuing its role in education for many years. Eventually, it served as a public school before being thoughtfully improved and transformed into a private residence in 1913.
Today, the property stands as a remarkable blend of historic charm and enduring craftsmanship, reflecting nearly two centuries of local history. |

This charming and historic property beautifully blends the character of the past with modern-day amenities.
Originally built in 1848, this is one of the oldest buildings in Bedford Co, offering a rich history with an impressive renovation in 1994 when the current owners transformed it into a stunning, multi-purpose space. Set on nearly 3 acres, zoned B-1 and is on town water and sewer, providing great flexibility for a variety of uses.
Currently serving as a popular event venue, it boasts over 10,000 SF, a commercial kitchen, 5 elegant BR suites, formal rooms, salon, a ballroom, office space, laundry facilities and even a home theatre.
The exterior is just as exceptional, featuring hardscaped patios, a beautiful pergola, an outdoor FP and extensive parking, all set against the backdrop of the Peaks of Otter. Easy access to Lynchburg, Smith Mtn Lake and Roanoke.
Whether you’re seeking a venue, a business opportunity or a private estate, this unique property offers endless possibilities. |
