The Piedmont Land Conservancy is selling 29 acres in Stokes County that includes a “very rustic” 1860 cabin.
“Our intent is to sell the property subject to a conservation easement via a request for proposals process,” the organization says. “This will allow us to conserve these 29 acres and use the proceeds to further other land conservation projects.” The deadline for proposals is October 30.

The 1 1/2-story house is 1,119 square feet. It has an open porch and a screened porch. The number of bedrooms isn’t specified; county records show one bathroom. There are four outbuildings. The property is about 3.5 miles east of Sandy Ridge, off N.C. 770.
The mostly wooded land is a bequest from Patricia Anne Griffin (1941-2021) and Frances R. Sandlin (1942-2023), who bought the property in 1973. Patricia graduated from Reidsville High School and attended the first Girl Scout Round Up in 1956. She was a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of the Women’s College, now UNCG. Patricia taught math in Virginia and at Page High School in Greensboro before teaching at UNCG. She was a founder of Habitat for Humanity of Stokes County and served on the board of directors.
Frances Anna Rand Sandlin was born in Wisconsin and graduated from Texas Women’s University. She was an occupational therapist.
