One of the principal landmarks at South Yadkin River . . . the Lindsay–Tatum–Wyatt House (c. 1876) - a fully restored historic riverfront estate - is FOR SALE in Salisbury, North Carolina. Welcome to 8670 Hwy 601 North ~ a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Rowan County and South River history! Let Realtor Greg Rapp with Salisbury Real Estate LLC take you on a tour of the elegant homestead known as the Centennial House!
The Lindsay–Tatum–Wyatt House, circa 1876, now fully restored, was built by John “Captain Jack” Lindsey. This two-story wood-frame home remains remarkably close to its original footprint.
Nestled in the trees along the South Yadkin River and set back from the road about 175 feet, a hedgerow of 100-year-old boxwoods along the drive takes you up to the home. A view of the historic elements at the exterior greets you as you approach the front of the home via a beautiful brick path: decorative corbels and brackets, stately chimneys, the metal roof, and the 34' front porch wrapped with its lovely original pierced wood railing. Two massive magnolia trees, likely original to the property, frame the front of the house.
The house, situated on the southeast side of the South Yadkin (South River) with approximately 1,600 feet of river frontage, follows an L-shaped plan with a center hallway. Greg Rapp first listed this homestead for sale in 2016, when this historic property required some TLC. It sold within just days to its current owners, who executed major permitted updates and restoration, sensitive to the home's era. The circa 2017-2019 restoration included a NEW KITCHEN, NEW BATHROOMS, NEW ELECTRICAL SERVICE, NEW PLUMBING, and NEW HVAC!
THE HOUSE
Let's step inside ~ ~ ~
Original wide heart-of-pine floors greet you at the center hall. You'll note original tongue-and-groove shiplap walls and ceilings in many of the rooms. Some of the original wood-burning fireplaces have been converted to remote-controlled propane gas.
From the hall, you step into the front parlor ~ a warm hug of a room with unpainted shiplap walls topped with softly painted crown molding. Two large windows flank the original 1870s fireplace (now propane-gas-burning) with its handsome mantelpiece.
From here, a cased opening leads you to a sunny formal dining room with more gorgeous wood floors, bright windows, and another of the home's original fireplaces.
Step from here into the NEW KITCHEN, a top-to-bottom new installation with granite countertops, a dual-fuel range, farmhouse sink, and custom cabinetry. The wall of storage cabinets in a warm stained wood was built from recycled wood from the 1820s Blackmer House in Salisbury, a historic home that was restored after a devastating fire. Pretty light fixtures here are enhanced by ceiling canister lighting to create a high-functioning workspace. The dual-fuel range is highlighted by an exposed brick chimney breast as a backdrop ~ a stunning feature in this stylish chef's kitchen!
Beyond the kitchen is a cozy and welcoming breakfast nook/enclosed porch ~ color-washed in a soothing minty green, with loads of sunny multi-paned windows, transom windows, a counter with more storage cupboards, and French doors that lead outdoors to a fenced-in kitchen garden and handsome brick patio.
Speaking of color-washes: a stunning 1st floor bath, washed in a dramatic indigo, is LOADED with additional cupboards and storage!
This 3-bedroom home offers TWO primary suites: one on the first floor with a walled in fireplace (potential to reopen), and a beautiful new private bathroom. Details include a custom tile walk-in shower and basket-weave tile flooring.
A truly stunning, second-floor primary suite includes its own private sitting room with stained wood walls and a fireplace backed with its exposed brick chimney ~ so handsome and the perfect retreat!! This second primary suite offers a walk-in closet and a spacious bathroom with a clawfoot tub AND another walk-in, custom-tile shower. A dual vanity with whimsical mosaic sinks is backed by another exposed brick chimney breast, creating another unique focal point. Off this suite is where you'll find a convenient laundry room.
In the upper hall, between the 2nd floor primary suite and bedroom #3 ~ sits a cozy study or office area. The third bedroom, featuring more shiplap walls and another pretty chandelier, overlooks the gardens below.
In the third-floor attic space, old house enthusiasts will be excited to see the original post and beam construction...no nails here, a lost art form!
A windowed porch looks out over the river's floodplain - or where perhaps the rumored beach once lapped the shores.
The lower level underneath, with a distinct 'root-cellar' appeal, is accessed by a narrow staircase along the outside of the building. The bathhouse historically served double duty as a Mason's lodge and beach house, making it as rare as it is beautiful. This building, across the driveway from the main house, features a small kitchen area, but the open room and the porch are the true stars of the show! Picture what you could do with this wonderful space!
The property also includes a stable with 8 stalls, a tack room/utility room, and permanent stairs to a hayloft. Solar panels installed on the stable's roof help to power all the structures on the property.

THE GROUNDS AND OUTBUILDINGS
One of the true stunners on this property, aside from this spectacular house, is the historic 1,173 sq. ft. original bathhouse that overlooks the banks of a sandy beach area below at the river—a popular bathing and picnic spot in the late 1800s when dams created 'swimming holes'.
This huge, jaw-dropping rustic space showcases open-span design, exposed truss ceilings, and a porch with seasonal river views. This open and spacious, large building features a small entry room/kitchen area that opens to an enormous open room under open trusses with a fireplace (picture fiddle players and dancers here!) and built-in benches lining the side walls.

A two-car garage has been thoughtfully converted into a boutique floral shop, complete with a beautifully landscaped brick entry patio, French doors, a dog-wash station, and a mini-split HVAC system.
The property also includes a stable with 8 stalls, a tack room/utility room, and permanent stairs to a hayloft. Solar panels installed on the stable's roof help to power all the structures on the property.
Additional Property Notes
This property is approximately 18 acres (much of this is floodplain) along the river, with the house and garage safely on higher ground, above the flood zone. The property adjoins state-owned game land, creating an added buffer against future development.
The neighboring property has a private airfield, so you may hear a small aircraft take off from time to time! The property is enrolled in a farm lease tax program, lowering the tax rate for the land. The Lindsay–Tatum–Wyatt House is eligible for the county's Landmark Status, which, if designated, would further reduce taxes on the home. The house is featured in the book, 'The Architecture of Rowan County' by David Foard Hood.
