About this home

Brooklyn Hills Farm c1861 This 196-acre estate is located at the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and enjoys an attractive blend of well defined elevations with breathtaking year round views. It's near the junction of the Little Piney and Big Piney Rivers at the Nelson-Amherst County lines, which is more commonly recognized as Lowesville, VA. The nearby attractions surrounding Nellysford, VA are a short drive, and it's just 45-minutes to the Charlottesville area and 30-minutes to the up-and-coming downtown Lynchburg. The home is in need of renovation, but is embedded in history and has been in the same family from 1919 to present.
