This is truly the quintessential farmhouse, built in 1905 and in move-in-ready condition! The home is filled with 100-year old details: original hardwood floors, beadboard walls and ceilings, beautiful mantelpieces and even the original lightning rods! Fully updated kitchen with new cabinets and counters, new metal roof, and heated by a Taylor Water Stove (with oil furnace supplement). Settled on 82+ acres, the property includes a tobacco barn, an additional barn and a 1700+ square foot garage! The upstairs of the garage would be a perfect office or guest space, and offers lots of opportunity. A bold creek runs behind the home, and you can hear the water running over the rocks from the spacious side porch. The property is 10 miles from US 29, 16 miles from downtown Lynchburg and 21 miles from Liberty University. The feeling of peace and tranquility cannot be conveyed without personally visiting the home and walking the property; a true gem!
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
