Description of the Land

#2627 Virginia. Fabulous Historic Farm on 125 acres. Potential Bed & Breakfast or Vineyard for sale
The approach to this circa 1847 Historic Farm is like stepping back into earlier times. Less than a two- minute drive from town brings you to a country lane flanked on the left by thick woods, and on the right by a split rail fence bordering a meadow which sweeps to a quiet pond. Suddenly, you are a century-and-a half back into the Ante Bellum world of the Old South as the stately Manor House, surrounded by mighty shade trees comes into view. This Historic Virginia farm includes 125 acres of graceful lawns, rolling pastures and old-growth timber with a pond & fencing.
The 5,285 square foot, pre-Civil War Manor House is GRAND & GRACIOUS. The millwork, wood floors, and windows are exquisite in both design and function. The public spaces are lovely including the formal living room, dining room, and library (all with fireplaces). The master bedroom and bath are located on the 1st floor along with another bedroom & bath. A cozy den and large screened porch overlooking pastoral vistas provide family space. A large eat-in kitchen, breakfast room and powder room complete the first floor. Three ensuite bedrooms are on the second floor. A total of six fireplaces in the main house. Truly a house as livable as it is gracious and steeped in history.
Close to town, and nestled amongst rolling pastures and timber, this estate is a rare and wonderful opportunity for the discriminating buyer. The arrival at the front door is made from a circular drive designed for horse-drawn carriages, but equally appropriate for today's vehicles. The photographs of this once-in-a lifetime offering hardly begin to capture the beauty and history of the main house and surrounding outbuildings.

The guest house has an in-home generator. Both the Manor house and the Guest house have central heat and air. In the rear yard of the guest house is a two stall horse stable and utility building overlooking prime pasture land. A horse arena is a short distance away. Next door to the guest house is yet another charming reminder of the Old South, a second cottage which was the residence of the plantation manager and his family. The house was used by the family in later times as a Hobby house. Around the corner from the cottage is a large garage/carport/utility building combination on one side of the drive and a four vehicle carport/garage on the other side with an abundance of covered parking. Past the carport is an old mill building adding additional authenticity to the property.
The Manor House is a two-story frame Greek Revival building with board & batten siding, typical of Southern plantations built prior to the Civil War. The entire estate is well-fenced and cross-fenced. The guest house and other outbuildings are in keeping with the era.
In the huge rear yard a two horse stable complete with a storage building and tack room. In old woods near the horse pasture is a riding arena and a huge horse barn with stables, supported by enormous hand-hewn beams that have to be seen to be believed.
The rolling land with a large pond and stream would be ideal for a Vineyard. In this area of Virginia along the North Carolina border, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merlot, Syrah, Pinot Grigio and Vidal Blanc are the varietals that could be produced along with grapes and other fruits native to the area.
From almost any point of these 125- acres the view is one of splendid, peaceful, rolling pastures, mature woods, and traffic-free, well-fenced farm roads. Additional acreage with mature second growth hardwoods, native pines and numerous streams is available.
This Historic Virginia Farm is offered for sale at $1,220,000
