115 Thompson St.

Welcome to the Historic Litz Mansion, an elegant antebellum estate dating back to 1848, thoughtfully preserved and rich in character. Set atop a gentle rise in Tazewell, this striking home offers a memorable first impression as visitors arrive along Marion Avenue. This Greek Revival style home is an architectural treasure. For nearly one hundred eighty years, it has provided refuge, prestige, and inspiration to generations of notable residents. As documented by Dr. Terry Mullins, the estate has been home to Civil War officers, accomplished physicians, influential financiers, prominent attorneys, senators, and leading figures in the region's land, cattle, and coal industries. Their stories are woven into the very fabric of the home and community. It invites a compelling question: did the grandeur of this residence help shape the legacy of those who lived here? Today, the Litz Mansion serves beautifully as a venue for weddings, family gatherings, and corporate retreats, while also offering exceptional potential as a boutique bed and breakfast. Guests can immerse themselves in a refined era of Southern elegance where hospitality, comfort, and charm define the experience. Located within walking distance of downtown Tazewell, the property offers both convenience and access to a variety of local attractions and outdoor adventures, including: The renowned Back of the Dragon, a scenic 16-mile drive through the curves and beauty of Thompson Valley as it winds to Marion, Virginia. Whether envisioned as a private estate, an event destination, or a distinctive hospitality venture, the Historic Litz Mansion offers a rare opportunity to own a meaningful piece of Virginia's history—where timeless beauty meets modern possibility. To round out the experience, located nearby are recreational facilities, Crab Orchard Museum, YMCA, and Spear Head Trail System. The Wayfarer on main street is a laid back restaurant offering great food, drink and scheduled live music.
