The Coveted Artist’s Estate and Museum of Robert E. Kuhn (1917-2000)
Adjacent to the Shenandoah National Park, this unique 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 to 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 workshop/studio for Robert Kuhn’s metal sculpting and painting.
The stone “activities” building is a studio/gallery complete with multiple skylights. Both the gallery and the “parsonage” building could become additional rental units if renovated. Or, an artist buyer may choose to use the gallery as a private studio!
