If you are searching for the perfect refuge from the hustle and bustle of our Covid lives, then you might want to consider this special jewel located in tranquil Powhatan County. History abounds in this peaceful sanctuary that began its life circa 1841! After several different owners and then years of neglect, the home was purchased in the 1980’s, and was renovated to include two wings that sit exactly where the original detached kitchen and farm manager’s buildings were. Other special interior features are an elegant first floor primary bedroom wing, updated granite kitchen, oversized family room with built-ins, 8 fireplaces, original woodwork, doors & cabinets plus updated systems. Today, Derwent (with approximately 5,000 s. f. ) features so many of the amenities you could want in a pastoral 20 acre farm including a 4-stall barn, fencing, run-ins, one-car storage building, and a two plus car garage with a heated and cooled professional workshop. Come and enjoy the sunrises, sunsets and the beauty of all four seasons from this serene retreat where you can simply escape the craziness of today’s world and enjoy peace and quiet.

Agricultural-10
The purpose of the Agricultural-10 (A-10) District is to maintain the agrarian and low-density rural character of the county that optimizes economic use of the county's prime farmland and forest land resources and defines the countryside appearance and rural character of areas designated as rural preservation areas in the comprehensive plan. Specifically, the district is intended to accommodate and encourage agriculture, agri-business, agricultural and rural tourism, silviculture, and related uses and development. It is also intended to accommodate limited low-density single-family detached homes on lots of ten or more acres—primarily in the form of conservation subdivisions that conserve substantial open space and natural resources.
