This verdant, well-loved 5+ acre farmette offers an ideal blend of fenced pasture (~1 acre), wooded spaces, and peaceful rural living—all just 15 minutes from town with easy access to I-64. It's close to Michael Shaps Vineyard, too! Expansive sky views - and perfect sunrises - draw you out to the large yard that has a playground and a barn/pasture that’s set up for easy animal keeping. Inside, a bright sunroom fills the home with light and nearly every window highlights lush, mature trees. The primary bedroom has its own half bath and there's a nursery/office adjoining. Recently updated full bathroom shower. A large mudroom well-suited for country living and a heated basement offers a cozy nook and a workshop. There’s even another workshop next to the barn! The basement space is perfect for future expansion. Filled with love since 1940, this home is ready for it's next adventure. Open house on Saturday, May 24th from 12p-2p. There is NO broker's open house on Friday.

Rural Areas District
This district hereafter referred to as RA is hereby created and may hereafter be established by amendment of the zoning map for the following purposes: Preservation of agricultural and forestal lands and activities; Water supply protection; Limited service delivery to the rural areas; and Conservation of natural, scenic, and historic resources. Residential development not related to bona fide agricultural/forestal use shall be encouraged to locate in the urban area, communities and villages as designated in the comprehensive plan where services and utilities are available and where such development will not conflict with the agricultural/forestal or other rural objective. Where development does occur, rural residents should expect to receive a lower level of service delivery than will be provided to residential developments in designated growth areas. In relation to residential development, agricultural/forestal activities shall be regulated only to the extent necessary to protect public health and safety.; In regard to agricultural preservation, this district is intended to preserve the county's active farms and best agricultural and forestal lands by providing lot areas designed to insure the continued availability of such lands for preferential land use tax assessment in order to enhance the economy, and maintain employment and lifestyle opportunities. In addition, the continuation and establishment of agriculture and agriculturally-related uses will be encouraged, and landowners will be encouraged to employ Virginia State Water Control Board best management practices.
