The house built in 1903 is uniquely positioned on the property to overlook the Town of Renick and the Greenbrier River. Renick was once a booming industrial town, with a bank, plenty of stores, a railroad hub, a desk factory, a creamery, and much more. With the town and river below, residents and visitors to The Heritage walked down the hill to enjoy town. The front porches of the grand house were a delight for neighbourly visits and a respite from hard working days. Even today, with a little clearing, the front porch could be a favorite for mountain, river, and town views. Renick is again becoming a “hot spot.” This time, Renick’s focus is recreation, river fun, and a clean community. The town is composed of 2 sections, upper Renick, located along Rt 219, and lower Renick, the original town located on the river. Renick is incorporated and invites residents to participate in many fun events held throughout the year. Renick is experiencing revitalization in community spirit and resident growth. The Heritage offers an opportunity for a full time residence, vacation home, B&B, or commercial venture. There is no zoning and no restrictions. Recreational vehicles are welcome.
