Step back in time and own a piece of Buckland history with the famous Ned Distiller House! Built in 1819, this captivating property boasts historic charm and a remarkable past. Showcasing one of the first freed African American to purchase a lot, in1812, and build a house. This property is possibly the very first EVER on record in the United States to have collateralized his home construction, with two deeds of trust, to complete his build.<br />
Ned's story is one of resilience and achievement. This story is significant as it offers a rare glimpse into the lives of free Black individuals during a period marked by social and economic inequalities. After gaining his freedom, he leveraged his skills in the distillery to become a successful craftsman. His entrepreneurial spirit is evident in his ownership of the house you see today after the 1810 census listed him as a free man. This house stands as a testament to Ned's hard work and determination.<br />
The main house itself offers a blend of modern comfort and historic ambiance, featuring 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 3 fireplaces and a partial basement. The property is further enhanced by a versatile block house built in the 1950s, providing additional space with 3-4 bedrooms and 1 bath.<br />
Don't miss this opportunity to own a unique piece of Buckland history with a story that will inspire. |
