8 Hays Creek Rd

The Lucas House (c. 1785) stands as a distinguished example of early Shenandoah Valley architecture, reflecting the timeless elegance and character of its historic Brownsburg setting. Painstakingly restored to the highest standards of craftsmanship, the residence incorporates an exceptional assemblage of historic architectural elements, including a stunning original Federal style mantel, exposed wood beams, high main level ceilings, beautiful hardwood floors, and 12-over-12 double hung windows. Thoughtfully renovated, the kitchen and baths blend convenience with the classic style of an eighteenth-century home, while the addition of a ground-level primary suite enhances accessibility. The property includes a two-story antique log cabin relocated to the site and positioned at the rear, providing a unique space well-suited for a studio, office, or retreat. Additional features include a Generac 22kW generator, metal roof, and commercial zoning allowing by-right opportunities for short term rental and bed and breakfast uses. Established in 1793 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places and as a Virginia Historic Landmark, Brownsburg remains largely unchanged since the late 19th century, offering a remarkably well-preserved early Valley village. Buildings that have stood for two centuries or more line the main road, which once served as the primary thoroughfare between Lexington and Staunton.
