Adjacent to the Shenandoah National Park, this unique Church Museum, the artist estate is for sale, including the original art with an estimated value of $3.5 Million, from fine-arts — paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture, creative writings — original jazz performances.

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own the historic site “Tanners Ridge Mission (1921-1966)” as well as the home and private museum collection of original art by Robert E. Kuhn and family.

The “property” At 3000′ elevation, this 4.50-acre mountaintop location was the perfect setting for Kuhn to create his legacy. The mission had been abandoned. Kuhn subsequently bought and renovated the three buildings, turning them into separate guest residences and converting the rural property into his original art estate. Since his death in 2000, ownership passed to his three artist sons.

The “church” is the last existing “church” in the 200,000-acre Shenandoah National Park. It serves as an income-generating three-bedroom vacation rental that can only be described as “truly amazing”, with the entire interior of the “church” displaying colorful and imaginative original paintings, drawings, sculptures, and furnishings!

The stone “parsonage” building has additions that served as a workshop/studio for Robert Kuhn’s metal sculpting and painting.

The stone “activities” building is a studio/gallery complete with multiple skylights. Both the “activities” and the “parsonage” buildings could become additional rental units if renovated. Or, an artist buyer may choose to use the gallery as a private studio!

The Sculpture Garden is a virtual 2.75-acre museum filled with fantastic, vibrant sculptures that can only be appreciated as you meander among them. Interspersed amid the art you might find a horseshoe pitching pit plus several spectacular sites for intimate weddings. Included are approximately 50 original, one-of-a-kind sculptures that will forever be a part of this landscape.
