What a story! What a home! International Harvester co-founder John J. Glessner purchased the land, now known as “The Rocks”, in 1882, seeking refuge in the clean mountain air for his son's hay fever symptoms during the summer months. In 1948 Francis Glessner, granddaughter to John, lovingly built this magnificent home on the property. Every step of the way was documented with amazing photos and notes showcasing the superior quality of this home, including the original blueprints! In 1978 the family donated 1,400 acres to the Forest Society, which surrounds most of the property. There are 2 beautiful year-round streams on both sides of the property. Serenity.. French doors inside lead you to lovely, manicured gardens and a slate rear patio outside.. The list goes on and on... Remarkable craftsmanship through-out this home is apparent with beautiful hardwood floors, 2 custom wood burning fireplaces, amazing built-ins and a recently installed architectural shingle roof on the entire home. There are 5 bedrooms, each with full baths. Kitchen has an incredible amount of cabinet space and a delightful butler's pantry. Large, bright rooms, each unique in their own retro flair, embrace you with a feeling of warmth and wellness. It is with a heavy heart the great grandchildren are selling, but they simply do not visit the East much these days. Their wish is for the home to start a new story. Yours!
