A Knox County Farmhouse Ready for Its Next Chapter — Homestead, Agritourism, or Roadside Farm Stand
Tucked beneath a canopy of mature trees on 23 acres of Knox County countryside, 6494 Martinsburg Road is a true piece of local history — completely transformed for the next generation of farm living. A free gas well helps offset utility costs, a rare bonus for a working homestead.
Pull up the gravel drive and the classic white 1900 farmhouse greets you with a covered front porch built for rocking chairs and morning coffee. Inside, original hardwood floors meet new hardwood, updated carpet, fresh paint, and new windows that flood every room with light. The kitchen and both bathrooms have been thoughtfully updated with clean, farmhouse-inspired finishes, and a dramatic brick fireplace anchors the living space. Upstairs, vaulted bedroom ceilings add a character you simply can’t manufacture in new construction.
Beyond the house, this property is the rare kind of acreage that actually works for you: level, road-frontage ground along well-traveled Martinsburg Road makes it a natural fit for a roadside farm stand, u-pick operation, or agritourism venture — think pumpkin patch, flower field, cut-your-own Christmas trees, or a seasonal market stand welcoming local traffic.
Whether you’re dreaming of a hobby farm, a small commercial ag operation, or simply room to garden, raise animals, and live close to the land, this is 23 acres of genuine opportunity minutes from Mount Vernon.
Ideal for: hobby farmers, homesteaders, agritourism entrepreneurs, buyers seeking farmland with road frontage near Mount Vernon, Ohio, and anyone looking for a historic farmhouse with acreage for a farm stand, U-pick crops, or small-scale ag business.
